★★★★★Into The AbyssI went here back in the 80's so many Summers with My Church.... THIS Place has so many of MY BEST Memories ❤️ I remember EVERYTHING the Dew Drop Inn the Pool the Walking....The Church the Crafts....and I Wish I could come back just ONE MORE TIME....but I live in Pennsylvania now and I'm all Grown up 😢....IF You get a Chance to send Your Child here PLEASE PLEASE DO IT!!! Even IF they cry and miss You, I PROMISE the Memories they will carry with them for the Rest of their Life is so worth it! God Bless EVERY CHILD that steps Foot here, and the Adults that Care about them! I Miss You SMBC....I carry You with ME Always, I was just reminiscing and thought of this place and had to look it up again.... I'm so thankful to see it's still here!
★★★★★animewarrior08I attended this camp with my church as a kid in the late 90's- early 2000's and I still have very fond memories of the summers I spent there. This definitely a great camp for young Christians.
★★★★★Brack RogersOur group enjoys our annual visit to the camp so much. Inexpensive, rural but not all that far from home, the creek and woods are so relaxing. Highly recommend you check it out if you are in the Piedmont and want a place to get away for a couple of days.
★★★★★Heath HoneycuttGreat group of people who loved our kids and most importantly love the Lord! Great activities that keep the kids active and the worship experience is awesome! So thankful for these guys and look forward to seeing them again! If you are looking for a place to take your kids for summer camp I would highly recommend! Also if you are looking for a ministry to support I know these guys would greatly appreciate it and it would be used to glorify the Lord!
★★★★★Becky PowellOur JAM Kids had a blast!! This is a wonderful place for a retreat for any group. We will definitely return. The kids loved playing in the Creek. The owners are such nice folks. The food was great. Our cabin was clean and exactly what we needed.
