★★★★★CiCi YoungStopped by Mission Springs Camps and Conference Center and took a walk around the property. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by towering redwoods. Everything felt well maintained, and the natural setting creates a very relaxing atmosphere. A lovely place to enjoy a quiet stroll and appreciate the beauty of the area. 🌲✨

★★★★★Shilpa NandigamaWe went here as part of our school's science camp. Loved the trails!
★★★★★Haiyan ChenThe 31st Fall Retreat of the CEF Campus Gospel Fellowship took place from 11/22 to 11/24 on-site. The retreat hosted over 170 visiting scholars and international students from Stanford, UCSF, Berkeley, UCSB, and UCD, along with nearly forty minors. Praise the Lord! Over 10 seekers made the decision to accept Jesus. The Tabernacle building provided a wonderful setting for youth ministry.
★★★★★Michael RodarteThe staff was super friendly, really helpful and patient. Excellent food. And really on top of making sure the rooms were clean! I reccomend this place for you or your church's next retreat! Unfortunately I was so busy taking pictures of nature and of my group I forgot to take pictures of the facility. But its beautiful and even has a WIFI TREE super cool.
