Powered by GoogleMy friend went and was not allowed to see or feed her baby for 6. Whole. Hours. After signing paper work that her baby was NOT to be fed with formula. Who does that? Will not be recommending.
One of the most amazing places on the planet.
College Group was on site, about 250 young ones, had a great time, great 2weeks.
Blessed! Blessed! Blessed! I visited for 5 days with my College Intervarsity Christian Fellowship club members to the Basileia Retreat from May 27-31. The staff and ministers were wondedul. The experience provided by the work crew in the kitchen was also amazing socially and in taste. The views were breathtaking. Most importantly, I was able to meet and experience God in a way I never would have thought of. Faith deepened, hope restored, and encouragement and motivation provided. Wonderful experience and I would highly recommend a visit there to meet God.
This is an incredibly well kept camp. Buildings are beautiful and the staff is incredible. On top of it all it’s on a lake with a breathtaking view. Best time to go is the fall. Crisp cool air, deep orange and yellow colors and perfect campfires. A couple local towns close by too.
