Special place to send my kids each summer. The counselors are welcoming, friendly and safe, and they make it a fun environment for the students. The kids are outside most of the time and get to experience the beauty of Colorado Springs, while staying close to home.

This camp deprived my suicidal child of medicine needed to keep her sane. They sent her alone to the bathroom during a thunderstorm. They didnt teach the campers how to use the canoes and just sent them out to fend for themselves. And overall the experience was horible. My child still talks about it with tears and fear in her eyes.

I attended this camp when I was in junior high (I'm 38 now). While I'll admit it was lots of fun (swimming, hiking, zipline, canoeing, etc) they shove some very neo Christian values down the kid's throats. On one particular night at the mess hall where the campers eat dinner, the staff and counselors decided to dress up as terrorists and raid the hall. With fake guns and knives they proceeded to force the campers to profess their love for Jesus and God. It was terrifying and realistic. Most everyone was crying and sobbing. The only way I can explain suppressing it all these years is the amount

I just attended this camp, and I had a great time at this camp, though this place does have its apparent flaws. For one, its very easily to get something stolen from here. I had 4 things taken from me during the week. This is more on me and less on the camp, but they don't really prevent theft very well. Another thing is the Bible study. It's not very fun. And while yeah, your not gonna have as much fun reading the Bible as you are gonna have going down the waterslide or something like that, it's still not very enjoyable. They don't really teach us in a fun or thought provoking way, they just sorta

One of the most incredible camps Ive ever been too. First of all the counselors are extremely nice and at the same time help you learn about god. I dont feel in anyway that they shove christian values down the kids throats. I also want to clarify that you get 8+ shells when you go to the shooting range. Also I want to clarify that you get unlimited rides on the water slide and unlimited rides on the zip line. Counselors are with your kids at all times and they only leave the cabin when they have to use the restroom or something else that needs to be done. Bullying is a strict policy

I went to camp this year (2017) as a Crew Camper, and it was fantastic! The leaders were great, campers were great, and the in depth discipleship is fantastic. Now, a few cons, not everyone who goes to Crew is a completely sold out Christian, but that goes for anyplace. The leaders are great, and the reason they leave the tents sometimes is because they have other things to do. The food is alright, but since its cooked largely by relatively inexperienced campers, its not always the best. Sleep is a pain, as we wake up at 5 or 6, but for those who are public schooled it shouldn't be a problem. All
