★★★★★Alberta ErvinI have two kids that went here several years. They loved the camp, the staff were really well trained and definitely knew how to have fun and be safe. Every time my kids came home bone tired, but happier, kinder, and more spiritual. Their faith really grew at this camp. It was always the highlight of their summer.
