Beautiful camp ground. Even in the rain. Lots to do. Swimming in Dream Lake with lots of large fun rafts, Kayaking, canoeing. Note (there is a charge for rental/entrance) Great for kids when the weather is hot!

Everyone there is super welcoming and friendly. It's like a home away from home. I'm glad I was able to be there.

We went for a field trip. Everything a kid could want to do is here, outside that is. I can that the staff was great, my son had a great time and we all learned new things. I'd love to see how a summer camp would go!

I came here with my daughter's 5th grade school trip. It was great . The students got to learn and have tons of fun at the same time. There's so much to do here! Wish we could have stayed longer. The staff is great. They are always willing to assist in any way they can. They also have family camps. I would like to go back in the future.
