Beautiful scenery but run down facilities and horrible management. There are several other camps that are better for your kiddo to attend. Wish I would have know this in advance 😭

Good place for a kid to go during the summer. Treat the Counselors worse than trash, though. And the pay is also sub-par at best.

★★★★★kevin beguhl

This is a fantastic place. It is used in summer by the San Juan Unified School District for all their outside summer camps. It is well taken care of and is a great place. Our daughter started here as a camper some 12 years ago and then was a counselor and now has more Ed up to another position. What a wonderful extension to the school experience. We can never say enough great things about this place. Love it

★★★★Aaron Camacho

Great place to by great people doing great things! But, needs some investment in the infrastructure, particularly the bathrooms.

★★★★★Levi Rugg

Camp is great. This camp is especially great. All children should go to camp. It is an amazing experience that will change their life for the best. Its good old fashion fun in the woods.
