★★★★★Gretchen Bonasera (Chef Gretchen)Beautiful place! Great staff.
★★★★★Heather JukerThe best experience in camping for our students. The high energy staff was very engaging not only at an overall level, but also taking the time to get to the individual level as well. It doesn't matter what the weather brings, the days are packed full of activities to meet every level of student interest while also squeezing in some free time to explore. Oh, and each meal is served family style so students learn to pass, share, have conversations, use manners and help clean up- wonderful life skills! The "tech free" environment meant our students went to bed tired from a full day of learning and exploring. Immeasurable memories made for our students, counselors and our staff. This is why we keep coming back year after year!
★★★★★D. MannBest place to experience a true "camp" for kids in today's world. No electricity in cabins. No electronics allowed. My kids have been going to their summer camp for 5 years and love it. They don't mind giving up their phones for a week. The whole staff is amazing with the kids. I always feel comfortable when dropping off my kids, knowing they're going to have the best week that summer right there.
★★★★★Kin WongWent for a weekend camp with a group and the kids loved it. Lots to do including: archery, rifles, bb guns, rock wall, pony rides, candle making, pumpkin carving, hiking, skipping rocks on the beach of Lake Erie, and of course making s'mores by the camp fire.
★★★★★Alana MichelsonAmazing summer camp! I have been back year after year and it always finds a way to one up itself! Staff are incredibly nice and caring and just the overall environment is amazing. There are countless activities and each and every day you have a fun filled day that never seems to bore. Great for all ages. It adapts to ages from 6-16. I started when I was 6 and now I am 16 and have fallen in love with camp over and over again for the past 10 years. You make friendships that last forever ( even when living on the other side of the U.S) and get such an urge to come back again and again. I would recommend this camp to anyone who is look for a fun filled summer with countless activities that you wouldn't be able to do at home, and build strong bonds with a variety of different people! 10/10 recommend
