Been sending my daughters to this camp for the past three summers. My oldest even voulenteered he time this year. It is the highlight of their summer. The get away from cell phones and technology and enjoy socializing with their peers in the mountains, they learn about God and have fun. Highly recommend this camp.
I have volunteered many years in the kitchen and other positions for the Ponderosa Christian camp. It is a great place for kids to come for one week. Very inexpensive yet provides a fun environment for children and teens to learn about and further their spiritual journey with God while enjoying the mountains and meeting other kids to enjoy all kinds of activities. Three meals per day are served and the living facilities are large cabins with bunk beds and the bathrooms are furnished with hot showers and flushing toilets.
This was the first summer that I brought my kids to this camp. I cannot say enough about this camp. I wish I knew about it when my kids were much younger. My daughter attended as a fifth grader and my son attended as a 7th grader. They both didn't want to come home and want me to already book for next year. They both walked away with a deeper relationship with God. Thank you thank you THANK YOU to everyone involved with this camp. We will definitely be back every summer.
My family has been having our family reunion for years and we love it. ❤ So many great memories here for us!
