★★★★★Hell's BellsThis is a great camp for young kids. They learn quite a lot about the great outdoors and how to be safe. They also learn how to safely hunt with a gun and a bow and arrow. They learn how to safely drive a motor boat and paddle a canoe. They learn how to fish and how to swim. The staff is very friendly and the kids really enjoy themselves when they come.
