★★★★★Denise GreenI remember this place well! When I was in HS in the late seventies we attended band camp here. That was many many years ago but my favorite memory was the rocking chairs that lined the porch! I also remember purchasing a tee shirt at the little store they had . The tee had “YoLiJWa” on it. I enjoyed the time spent there.
★★★★★Michael CopenhaverThis is a great camp, they offer so many fun and spiritual camps for kids, teens, adults! My kids love coming here several times a year.
★★★★★Cindy JohnsonThis was the best place to get out and explore your faith. The ladies of my church Duncannon Church of God went on a retreat some had been there before and some like me were first timers. This place has changed my life and I am so thankful. It was what I needed. Peaceful, caring people who now have a special place in my heart.
★★★★Mitch Bien-AimeWas an amazing experience at this Christian based camp. I went for an event but I learned a lot when it came to faith, suffering, and teachings of the Gospel. The camp itself was pretty, had a fair amount to do like volleyball, basketball, hiking areas, scenic areas. Didn't give a 5 star as the beds for the boys side felt like sleeping on rocks, some of the volunteer staff seemed scary, and showers were in an inconvenient spot. Warning: to people obsessed with technology or having cellular service, you might not have fun. Not a con or pro to the camp, just a warning.
★★★★★David BeckerA First Church of God camp, can be rented out for retreats and such. Very old and rustic building from the 1930's. With up to date amenities. Great team building challenge area! Swimming pool, and small lake for canoeing and paddle boats.
