★★★★★Nate FerrellBeautiful property in the mountains but not hard to get to. The church camp has a great tradition and a loyal following.
★★★★★Jason HallSuch a great place! The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. They remembered both of my boys names and were there to personally greet them and see them off. My kids had great experiences at junior conference and boys camp. They made new friends, and already want to go back to camp! Would totally recommend for anyone wanting their child to have a great summer experience.
★★★★★Michael DawesSuper fun place to hike. The history of the camp fascinated me. Can't wait to come back.
★★★★★Jayme HawthorneI went to camp here as a child, my parents attended (men and women) conferences, my sister also attended camp here and now my son gets to attend the most magical, loving, camp! We love the Cathedral Domain so much that we fly across the country, just to attend this camp and so he too can experience the magic of “Domain Love”.
★★★★★izzy broomfieldI really enjoyed my visit, including the view, the hikes, and the people, but what was even more impressive was how much this place means to everyone else I've talked to about it. People share such powerful stories and rave reviews that it makes me want to keep coming back, to see the magic for myself! It seems like the community that springs forth from this place is eve more powerful than the place itself, which is saying something.
