The scenery here is amazing, lots of quiet places to pray, nice sanctuary and dining hall, Decent lodges. They improved alot from last time I came here. I pray that God blesses this retreat center and helps more kids and adults to feel the presence of God and get closer to him, and get back on track to God and move forward... read full comment

An amazing camp. The staff truly embodies the gospel as they work with kids. Outside of camp, they have fantastic retreats to help families build relationships with each other and Christ. As well as facilities to your own gatherings.
