★★★★★Callie DawnWapsie changed my life in the best way and led me into teaching. It is truly one of the best gifts you could give a child, a week at the most magical, loving, unique place. It truly is magic.
★★★★Geoffrey SloanThe camp is pretty impressive. It has classic features and interesting elements to it but it does need some love. With some volunteer help and donations, it could be a very special camp once again.
