Powered by GoogleI think I have left a review before, the place is nice, I love being here and it had a big swimming pool, I’ve came here ever since I was about 10, last year I was in hickory cabin (on wonderland side) and Huron cabin (on Cherokee side) and the boys cabins had to move because the ac wasn’t working, a few years back there was this huge pillow fight and two kids went to the hospital (if any of u remember) and I’m going again this year but sadly I can’t go to creative arts camp because of a root canal I’m having, I always went and did dance, I went to teen camp and did flag football, (loved it) and did volleyball, I was there two years ago and Covid broke out so we had to leave, I would love to leave more but it’s just too much, make sure your kids are healthy before sending them away to camp, and make sure to bring sunscreen and ALOT of bug spray, you will be around a campfire and be in the woods with the zip line and around a lake
Beautiful Location! I enjoyed my time here, the views, the conference room was huge, kitchen clean, and amazing workers!
Camp Wonderland was a mountain top experience once again. I first visited in 2019. In 2019 I stayed in the village, this time I stayed in Chinook on the other end of camp, there a fireplace. So fun!!! Besides the long walks from the cabin to the mess hall and Chapel it was a great experience.
Stayed at Wonderland Camp for a youth retreat in January. All the facilities were clean and plenty to do (even in the cold). The kids played football, basketball, soccer on the fields. The facility has a rock climbing wall, which everyone loved. The chapel can sit a large group (I'd say about 500) and their a/v system is great. The quarters for chaperones/leaders are better than I expected. The beds are comfy and they provide linens and towels (kids need to bring bedding/towels). The cabin we stayed in had a mini fridge and a microwave. The Dining Hall food is mediocre (think grade school cafeteria food) but the personnel are very friendly and helpful. If you stay here, I'd recommend bringing bottled water, the water there is well-water. As someone who has planned retreats in the past, this facility is GREAT - it has breakout rooms, activities to keep kids busy, plenty of outdoor space and comfortable accomodations.
I was a chaperone with my son for his sixth through seventh grade class. We ended up staying one night, it was only about a 30 minute drive from the house but it really felt a world of a difference. We were served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I definitely enjoyed the activities, there was not a lot of mosquitoes and even with the rainy weather we still were able to get everything off the itinerary. Activities we did were rock climbing, kayaking, zip lining and also team building activities which helped us as chaperones with kids bonding. We had a total of 48 kids that were split up with teachers and parents, our group had five kids and by the end of the trip every kid became better acquaintance. The cabins had AC which helped make it a more comfortable one night stay. If I were to be asked to chaperone for next years classes, I’d gladly join the fun again.
