We haven't got the chance to stay here. Office workers were friendly. Prices seem affordable and a pretty place.

★★★★★Baharson

The best outdoor experience we ever had. Great facility with great staff. Definitely coming again. So many activities to count here so check the website

★★★★★Richard Moore

Learned so much about life here! Learned how to face challenges and overcome them. Developed life long friendships that mean everything to me. Found out how much I love nature! I am always at home here no matter where I am.

I was part of a wonderful staff a “few” years ago. Dottie and Joe were so good to me and I have fond memories of Buster, Al, and the “Bena Babies,” the youngest campers there. Al and I lived with them in the Bena cabin. I shall never forget my time there and want to return to see the camps and my friends again.

My experience was rather dull until one night around the fire we all exchanged ghost stories. There was a tale that back in the 50's one of the counselors kids ended up drowning in the lake and their mother took revenge. It wasn't a great story. Honestly though by the next morning, sparing all the details, I had finally escaped. Escaped what you ask? All the gosh darn fun! Go check it out yourself...
