★★★★★Chasity WebelI went here last weekend with my daughter and her Girl Scout Troop. I would absolutely recommend! We had such a fun time! I did not run into one rude staff member and the facilities were maintained and safe. There were somethings that some may feel were not up to par, but honestly everything was as well as it could be with the staff and resources they have available. And the staff they did have available were awesome! I believe a lot were volunteers as well. The young women who helped us ride and learn about horses were patient, knowledgeable and personable. Being a teenager and running that is very impressive! The people who helped us shoot were very helpful and attentive. The young women who helped us rock climb were AMAZING! They encouraged not only our girls but us mamas as well! We all tried it and it was such a burst of positive energy to start our day! Thank you ladies, and the music was perfect! Then of course there was Hannah, the Camp Director. She was incredibly kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, witty, hilarious and such an amazing person to be around. She also makes sure everyone knows the rules and safety information, as well as are comfortable and having fun. She really had an impact on me. What a wonderful experience and we will be back!
★★★★★Victoria LawleyJust thought about this place and had great memories every year we went!! Yoshi was the BEST counselor to ever exist and words can’t describe it.. he was the best part about camp even though he was with the boys I loved every bit of him but about over a decade ago last time I went I was so excited to see him but he was no longer there sadly but the memories were still great!! If I still lived in Ohio I would definitely love to go back as a counselor! I miss it so much, time has a way on me🥲
★★★★★Heather AdamsI absolutely love this camp! The programming and activities are so fun! You can ride horses, do archery, shoot BB guns, swim and climb the rock wall. The food is fantastic! There is a salad bar offered with every lunch and dinner. The baked potato bar was awesome. Would definitely recommend!
★★★★★Jennifer BroganMy girl scout troop had the best experience over the weekend. Horses, archery, canoeing and zip lining. The staff was so wonderful. They were great with 12 second graders. Update: We came back and loved camp even more. Annie was our counselor and we loved her. The food was great, the activities were very age appropriate and the girls had another fantastic time!
★★★★★Katrina SchmitMy siblings have done horse back riding here! Very nice people! And they have so many horses and a little petting zoo!
