★★★★★Shado Drago121A fish bumped into me and died. I am the harbonger of death
★★★★★Larry WidmerIf I remember correctly I went to this camp for Type I Diabetics in 1968 and 1969. It.was a great experience and I learned alot about taking good care of myself. Staff was very helpful and enjoyed overnite camp outs, swimming, visiting Yerkes Observatory, concert on the beach, and helping lend my voice to a commercial for the camp. Overall a wonderful experience.
★★★★★Tyrone RayfordI started off as a camper in the late 90's, became junior staff (LTY) during my teenage years. I ended up doing 1 year of official staff at 21. Throughout each journey I still talk with the people I met here. I still have bonds with international staff and campers who have now become the new mentors for the youth. This truly is a life changing place.
★★★★★MelMy experience with this camp didn’t begin as well as I had hoped and there was a bit of confusion with the travel arrangements. All minor compared to the overall experience. I was left with no doubt that I’ve found an amazing summer camp for my child. He LOVED it. My son came back home singing camp songs and asking when he’ll be returning. Oh and when leaving, the camp staff gave my son the biggest bye ever. I was moved to tears. Thank you Jordan, Andriana, and Ms. Linda and see you all next summer 😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰
★★★★★Kierra TaylorI absolutely love this camp. I am 26 years old and I actually went here for two years as a child (ages 9-11). Now, years later, my son is a camper there. This upcoming summer (2017) will be his 2nd time attending. He loved it as well. They have archery, swimming, and so much more. Each cabin is named after an Indian tribe from what I could remember. Also, the food was great when I attended and he loved the food as well (he is very picky so that was a surprise)! They do pickup and drop off. They also offer scholarship/payment assistance and many of the children are from all around the world and different backgrounds. The counselors are great and you can even mail your child while they're in camp. I have so many amazing things to say in so little time. I recommend.
