★★★★★Logie MillerI went here as a kid. It’s so fun here you guys should turn your kid here. It’s so fun you go swimming after dinner and at least the girls go swimming first if you’re a girl they used to do like they used to do like a carnival. I don’t know if they’re still doing it, but they used to have dates that you can ask out a girls
★★★Jeannesjamming JeepsNeed to have night stands in all the rooms so you can put your glasses down without fear of stepping on them. Need regular long tables in common areas instead of round ones so people can reach to play games on. Needs places in the bathroom to put your stuff while showering. Needs the coffee bar to open at 6.00 so people can get there day started alot of people wake up at 5.30. Serve salad dressing with your salad if you are going to serve salads.
★★★★★Jack MIncredible camp in a very quiet and peaceful section of forest along the river. The staff are awesome. The counselors and the staff are helpful, giving and caring. The Salvation Army has a heart for people and youth from all over the country. This camp provides such a good hearted place for personal and inspiration. Everyday is pure joy in the building friendships and relationships that are cultivated here.
