★★★★★Papa RickLove the lake view. Staff are very accommodating! Lot of updates coming!
★★★★★Liz DeckerMy teenage girls look forward to both winter and summer camp at LJ! All of the staff and volunteers genuinely care and invest in all of the kids who attend. I would highly recommend LJCA to any family.
★★★★★JR HavenI went to camp at Lake James all throughout grade school. It changed my life. It started me on the course to form a relationship with Jesus, which is the most valuable thing one can do. I cannot say enough good about Lake James, certainly not enough for a Google Maps review.
★★★★★Satabdi BanerjeeIt’s a beautiful camp center where God is powerfully at work!
★★★★★Melissa BixlerMy kids have been going there for the last 3 years and they love it! They talk for days about what they did and now my son wants to go on a mission trip! The best camp I've ever sent my kids to. They have the best time ever!
