★★★★★Kory TedrickI wish there were more stars. Five just isn't enough. Trout Lake Camps has been a place of rest, prayer and solitude, as much as it has been full of relationships, recreation and great food. The staff is always amazing and programing and facilities off the charts. It has been an important part of my life for over 30 years, helping facilitate a connection point with Jesus. I truly can't say enough about what an amazing impact Trout Lake Camps has had on my life as well as the lives of those I've brought with me over the years.
★★★★★Maren BahlerTrout Lake is an exceptional overnight Bible camp experience. The facilities, overall, are in great condition. Kids have a wide array of activities they get to participate in--and never get bored! The counseling staff they hire want to be there and put forth every effort to make kids feel welcome. I also appreciated the tour they provide to parents to see the whole camp before saying good bye to your camper for the week!
★★★★Lela DunnThe food was yummy, I am a picky eater and NO complaints. Great food that didn't really taste cafeteria. I do hope they upgrade their cabins at some point (although some of them are amazing) some of them need a little bit of a refresh. Especially when it's cold and wet out it would be nice to have more modern amenities. What a wonderful lake, amazing staff, great activities to choose from. I 100% believe these guys/ ladies are doing such a great job. Thank u!
★★★★★JenMy kids absolutely love going to this camp. They had an amazing time and experience. Couldn't have asked for more. Trout lake also did very well with accommodations for my kiddos food allergies, if they couldn't we came up with a game plan and or I provided similar food items!
★★★★★RJ and FamilyI shared my first Bible camp at 48 years old with my 13-year-old boy. This place has every single amenity that you could possibly want. Great leader ship. Super place for warship. Clean and awesome. Thank you very much will be back next year
