«healthy camp», but every breakfast, lunch, supper kids are having fast food. Don’t send your children to this camp, if you dont want them to feel bad after tonns of fast food. The cabins and rooms are disgusting, they are never washed the mattresses ( the smell ) The walls re OLD, there are signs from 1985, for example «Lia 1996» and etc. Showers are 🤢. Kids weren’t allowed to bring a snack and if leaders saw kid eating a snack they might take it away and eat it themselves. Ants, and other insects are everywhere. No medical help, when my kid felt bad nobody helped him.

Went to their mom and tots camp and it was really nice. Could be more activities for moms to do with their kids and I wish they offered it for older kids and their moms as well, but age 7 or 8 and up they camp with other kids instead. Food is not very healthy but it is camp. Was lots of free mom time in the evenings. Great way to hang out with other Moms wiithout the kiddies. The location is absolutely beautiful.

Everything summer camp should be. Full of nostalgia and a guarantee of great new memories for new campers! Rustic yet up to date facilities, lots of facilities on site for a summer full of fun including pool, gaga ball, b-ball court, nature trails...to name just a few.
