★★★★Dane JensenKids had a great time. Staff was wonderful.
★★★★★KamaniMy kids attended this program last summer they could not stop telling me all winter how they were so excited to go back.They came home the last week with red eyes and stuffy noses from crying because they missed their friends, counselors and all the fun activities at camp. I 100% recommend this camp they love it so I love it.
★★★Popsann FrancisThe atmosphere is peaceful. A nice getaway from the city. The cabins need a modern upgrade, and the food can be improved
★★★★★Ryan FosterMy daughter had a great summer. She attended 2 sessions, and this summer, she bravely took on the zip line! The director and counselors were wonderful and kept us informed when needed and allowed families to stay in touch with campers through email. It's a beautiful camp tucked away in Sussex County.
★★★★★Eva HaynesWe had a wonderful time here. Thanks to my husband's job Newark Downtown "NDD" and their team for hosting a family day. There were lots of great activities , like fishing, archery, and arts and crafts (I made beaded cat colllars for our fur babies 🤗) PLUS the customer service was exceptional.
