★★★★★Joshua BuntonIn 27 years of ministry, I have never met a kinder more hospitable staff than works at this camp. And the campus is absolutely beautiful. Nestled in the foothills of North Carolina on Lake Hickory, we had the most perfect camp with our student ministry. We will definitely be going back for many years to come.
★★★★★Connie PrestwoodThis was our first time going here and the entire place was AMAZING!! I pray we get to go back again!! Was an awesome experience for myself, my children and our entire church!! The staff were so sweet and helpful with any and everything!! It's on the lake and there's soooo much to do and so many ways and places to fellowship and learn about our amazing God 🙌
★★★★★Tim JonesMy two boys have attended the camp over the last several years and they love the camp. It has been a wonderful way for the boys to get away from from our busy communities, unplug from electronics, and enjoy the woods and lake activities while growing in their relationship with the Lord.
★★★★★Alison BennettTruly a blessing to our family! The team makes you feel so welcomed. We participated in family weekend and our 8yr old attended Explorer camp. We were very pleased with both experiences. We appreciate the size of the camp - not too big but still a ton of options! Can’t wait to go back!! Harold & his team took great care of our child’s dietary restrictions so she never felt excluded. Sylvia takes great care of all of the arrangements and communication with such a wonderful personality! Loved how Micah & Joe were always involved and did an amazing job managing & pulling it all together. Liz is the nurse and is very organized and professional with a very caring personality. And there are some many other super stars on staff! They were all so patient, friendly & caring. Thanks to all for making our summer special! See you in October for father/son….
★★★★★Tina Del MoralBeautiful retreat for the weekend, a place to book for several people or a group. The facility has a boat, activities are set up by the amazing staff, archery, kayaks, arts and crafts, swimming. The staff is amazing , the meals are prepared daily, and are pretty tasty. We had a blast at this place and will never forget how amazing everyone was. This is definitely a spiritual retreat, the people here are filled with God and it shows in there actions. They have a Kind, Gentle, Soul. We had Our own Cabin and personal bathroom with toiletries and all. They did not miss a beat. Thank you 😊
