★★★★★Joe O'TooleOur 4 and 7 year old had a great time at this summer camp! Swimming, riding/feeding horses, farm chores, etc!
★ravenk_2008They make kids carry rocks that weigh as much as them up large hills as "punishment". This place should be investigated.
★★★Michelle ShaneMy children love this camp, being unplugged and outside all day!! However, the staff at camp have not been clear with the billing and were somewhat dismissive when we asked for clarification. Their registration forms offer a camp rate including lunch, but they failed to notify us about the amounts due for lunch with the registration confirmation. So, my kids showed up for camp expecting to get lunch and were told they had no lunch accounts. We've since worked everything out, but it was an ordeal to sort through and I felt like the staff was just annoyed they had to bother helping figure out the issues. We are reevaluating future participation due to these interactions.
★Awawaw AwawawMy daughter was treated very poorly by the older children ad well as often ignored by staff about the issue and came home crying often. Of two weeks she only went one as by the end of the first she had contracted bronchitis. Was not informed until they dropped her off for pickup, she was forced to still do physical activities that made it worse. There are better camps out there for your children
★Zachary JohnsonInadequate supervision at this camp led to my son having a serious experience that needed to be addressed with the camp administration. We spoke to the administration and their response was, "What proof do you have?" The administration proceeded to accuse my son of lying about his experience, saying, "Kids lie about that stuff all the time." I could not believe what I was hearing. Given the context and details of what my son shared with me, I am 100% sure he was telling the truth. In my opinion, this camp is run by individuals who do not validate children's testimonies or experiences and therefore is not safe for children. I have withdrawn my son and will never send him here again. The camp also refused to refund any money for upcoming weeks. Overall, this was a very negative experience.
