★★★★★AllisonWIYC is an amazing choice if you need a summer camp option for your kiddos. The campus is absolutely beautiful and well cared for. The staff is all great with the kids!! My own kids have LOVED their time there. It's turned them into outdoor kids!!
★★★★★Kayla FrommeHamiltons are the lake / youth camp was excellent. We really enjoyed the place. It was beautiful. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a simple outdoor venue. Some additional fans would be nice. We had the beef brisket and received many compliments.
★★★★★Mathew RoedWedding venue was held here and i must say it was absolutely a beautiful backdrop for a wedding.
★★★★★Anton SimpsonGreat place for kids to spend their summer days. Lots of fun activities, both physical and educational. Great setup. Great staff.
★★★Meredith Vogel-ThomasOutdoor wedding in October was very chilly. I was sad to see white tarps strung up to help enclose the outdoor venue. They were unsightly. Food was bland, set up was sloppy. Sad to learn that no outside caterers can be used.
