★★★★★Tim KellyI've been going to camp here, as well as helping lead summer camps, for 30 years. This place has become as meaningful to my children as it was to me when I was a kid.
★★★★★Lisa HalversonComing back to my old church camp and seeing how it has changed. What an amazing experience
★★★★★HROGreat for a church retreat, family reunion, etc. The kids camps are so fun. A trail to the ocean and other hiking trails. A nice weekend retreat. Have always enjoyed our time here.
★★★★★Mark BThis camp offers decent bare-bones kitchen, bedroom, and 3/4 bath facilities (toilet, shower, and sink) on a budget, just a half mile walk from the beach. The staff are helpful, but they're also very busy as they continuously maintain and upgrade the facilities. 1. Be sure to ask them what size bed linens you need to bring, where the dumpster is, and how to program the keypad on your deadbolt. 2. Take a picture of the map on the corkboard using your smartphone, so you can refer to the map when you're out exploring.
★★★★★Jon BrinesSuch an amazing place. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We camped and the couple that run this gem checked on us and even brought us extra firewood. Brandon the director and his wife (I can't remember her name) do such a great job. They have cabins you can rent that look so cozy we thought about renting one for a few months because we didn't want to leave. The beach is close and it felt like we had the whole Washington coast to our self. Thanks again Brandon we will definitely come back many times in the near future. P.s. our dog also had a blast!!!
