★UnifiedBrain TheoryThis camp is Horrible, the staff was very unfriendly. I came with the participants of my non-profit organization and they were very rude. They served my participants raw pink chicken , they let their workers eat before my participants and left them scraps. We had to force them to make more food. They didn't want to accommodate us with blankets. They were very racist towards us and made our stay very uncomfortable. 0 out of 10 do not recommend.
★★★★Sandra SeniorWords cannot express my feelings that I had this pass weekend that myself and my church family had at Johnsonburg Retreat Center. Kim and your team was amazing. We enjoy the beautiful scenery, food was great, we slept well into our rooms. Omg I would recommend this hidden gem to anyone who's looking for a secluded place to enjoy the peace and quietness. Plus we had a bonfire 🔥 that top it off. Johnsonburg were coming back next year ❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
★★★★★Jess FloresWords cannot express the level of gratitude I have in my heart for the Johnsonburg staff. I had such an amazing and relaxing time during my stay on the property. Thank you Tattyanna for making me feel loved, seen and welcomed. If you are looking to get away and spend some time with the Lord this is the perfect place. Reflect and catch your breath here. Again thank you for your hospitality.
★★★★★Tanya BSuch a beautiful facility. We've been using Johnsonburg for 4 years now for an annual program. I love that their values are in line with our welcoming and accepting Christian beliefs! The lake is wonderful to swim in or kayak. Love seeing wildlife in the woods! The newly built pavilion is great for rainy days to still be in nature, while protected from the rain.
★★★★★S MuntzelWhat a well rounded and well run center! I have attended retreats at Johnsonburg for adults, stayed in Meadowview Cabin for a personal retreat and sent our kids to summer camp in this beautiful place. The new pavilion is gorgeous! I recommend everything about Johnsonburg.
