Great location for family and friends to experience the great outdoors.
Nice pond with walking trails and bathroom facilities. Also has a simple playground and archery set up, as well as pavilion and ?ampitheater. Locked gate. Surrounded by barbed wire fence. Plenty of snakes, so always be aware while you're in the woods! However, people pulling into and out of the can't RARELY LOOK both ways. This camp is located in a neighborhood with vehicles frequently coming down the hill and NOT expecting to be pulled in front of. ALWAYS remember to look both ways when pulling out or turning into the camp. People also walk along Clearwater Lake Rd, where there are no sidewalks, although during camp season it is quite dangerous as parents of campers frequently exceed a safe speed for a neighborhood.
Great summer day camp for kids of many ages! Kids will enjoy there experience. Fun filled days! Games,singing, archery,boating, team building and great staff. There is an indoor sheltered area for days of not so good weather. Pack a lunch and bring a water bottle and enjoy!!!
