★★★★★Oliver GagnerThis place is so peaceful! We came out for family camp, and it was an awesome experience! Everyone is so friendly!
★★★★★Jennifer JaneThis place changed our daughter's lives. They come back a little more grown up a little more hearts open . They love their church camp experiences (so many new experiences ) and all the friends they have made. The only bad thing is it's hard to wait an entire year for it to happen again.
★★★★★Judith WalkerIt was an amazing place to be. Love the women's retreat. Would love to bring my husband up here.
★★★★★Socko Gaming (Inc)placerville has to be one of the best summer camps in South Dakota. We learn more about our Lord and Savior, we go on fun hikes, and we have an amazing time. If you're interested in going here, i would definitely recommend researching the place, and worst case scenario it doesn't interest you. Love coming up here as a councilor and as a camper.
★★★★★Julie TreibGreat place for a get away from the city! This is in the heart of the Rushmore National Forest. Owned and managed by United Church of Christ in Sioux Falls, SD. Rooms in the lodge, and cabins available all year!
