★★★★★Natalia NekliudovaThis is a wonderful place for rest, fellowship, and Christian retreats. The accommodations are comfortable and cozy, and the entire camp property is beautifully maintained. The lake is stunning, and all of the facilities—including the worship and meeting spaces as well as the dining hall—are excellent. Everything was thoughtfully organized and welcoming. I truly enjoyed my time here and would love to come back again.
★★★★★Pau GreinerBeautiful place for camping! The accommodations are comfortable and accesible. I stayed in one of the hotel rooms which is set up with a comfortable queen bed and bunk beds. The air conditioning made for a pleasant summer camp experience. I can’t speak for their dining options, since our church provided all of our meals/snacks. I particularly liked their 2-level set up with a chapel upstairs and dining downstairs and the island that is set up for camp fires. The staff is very welcoming, kind and resourceful! I accidentally locked myself out of my room and one of the staff members unlocked it for me while I was busy tending to other responsibilities.
★★★★★D. HoshorI've been to the Women's Retreat several times. The food is always good, they even ask if you have any allergies or special requests. NO ALCOHOL!!! Fellowship in Christ is filled with activities, songs, prayer and a speaker. It's the most wonderful weekend of the year. For the kids' camps there are a pool, zip line, canoes, paddle boats, campground, gym, trail activities and much more. I wish I had known about this place as a kid! Check out the website!
