★★★★Monk EMy daughter attended this camp and came back a more vibrant child. She loved it. It is, in my opinion, a great experience for a child of any age. If you're a church goer and want to send you child to a camp. I would recommend this highly. They could and should do something about the road coming onto the location as it sort of hectic getting in and out otherwise, awesome.
★★★★★Kimberly MorrisThis is such a beautiful place! I spent time here during the summers when I was growing up and as a counselor during my college years. The beauty of God's creation surrounds you at Cowen. Grateful for a place dedicated to introducing young hearts to Jesus.
