Powered by GoogleWent Here as a Kid back in early 2000 man never forget 🔥🔥💯🙏🏽🙏🏽Thank you for keeping this place open & forsure visiting soon with my kids phenomenal place ⭐️
Wonderful and peaceful place. I went hiking and it was really fun. I loved how the rooms were connected to a lobby and a kitchen. Their food was average but I didn’t like how they served ham and beans? Like what type of combination is that 💀. Also I was kinda mad the zip line was closed and the pride flag was looking weird today.
This was a terrible experience. They keep bragging about their food, but then they serve us Rotten stuff. The activities are super boring. The bathroom situation is tragic. The rates are way to high. I would probably rather stay in a motel 6. The staff is super bossy. The lodging is cramped and unclean. The ceilings are about to fall down. I spent most of my day playing Gagaball and nine square. The mattress is literal rock. The water is disgusting. This camp is not recommended.
Manidokan has hosted Camp Connect for the past two years - a camp to reunify brothers and sisters living apart in foster care. A fabulous child-centered organization, Manidokan leadership and staff bend over backwards to be sure our campers have a wonderful experience. The facilities are lovely, their fields well-kept, and activities well-planned and carried out.
A wonderful place to relax and enjoy. Great for groups of all kinds.
