★★★★★Elena DenisyukLove this cultural heritage escape place!
★★★★★Andrew HalvorsonMY FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH!!!! The people and activities there are amazing. You’ll get a chance to make so many friends that you’d never get to meet if it wasn’t for camp. I would 10/10 reccomend going
★★★★★Joy VannGreat Camp experience in place to send your kids for Camp experience. Lots of good activities for the kids. Good food and snacks for the campers.
★★★★★S. OThis camp is better than we even expected. The kids are well cared for, every t type of fun activity that you can possibly imagine. The kids have lots of choices or they can choose to do or not to do things to try new things or to just stick to the things that they already know they love. Even the Infirmary made me feel safe one of my kids spend some time there over the summer and they took really great care of him. I can't say enough good things about this Camp my child will be going back this next summer!
★★★★Alexis DealWe go once a year with our temple and have a great time. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Fun activities. I wish the paths were a little safer and the bees were out of control. Food was OK.
