The actual ropes course is very fun with plenty of various levels for beginner to advanced involving a climbing wall, zip line, and various heights. We also did more group level challenges with an actual leader from the camp. Our leader John was a very thoughtful friendly man who ensured we were safe while working as a team. The bathrooms onsite are very clean. We had lunch here as well, it was 'Taco Tuesday' on a Monday-- a full taco bar with churros, popsicles, and fruit. The dining area is a very classic bare bones camp environment, but the views from the outside tables are phenomenal on a sunny day. They have a small little beach with a pier for kayaking.

Parents are not allowed to talk to their children on the phone or in person. I would not recommend this camp. It is very scary and they do not properly vet the camp counselors, nor cabin leaders.

I've been here twice as a staff member for a week-long camp through my church: once as a counselor…read moreand once as an activity coordinator. We stayed in the cabins, ate in one of the cafeterias, and spent most of our time by the beach, in the wood shop, in the chapel (way too cold -- someone turn that air-conditioning down please!), and in the game room pavilion. The cabins were as clean as cabins could be with some bugs (it's summer camp, what do you expect?). One bathroom wasn't enough for a room of ten girls, though! The wood shop was cool, and the girls enjoyed hanging out on the beach nearby, jumping in the water or fishing from the pier. The game room pavilion had chairs and some games to play, but it wasn't as appealing as playing in the park, which was in the middle of everything. The cafeteria/kitchen staff was also very accommodating of my request for vegetarian food. The first year, I was too nervous about asking for special food since it was free, so I just dealt with it and ate meat for a week. The second year, there were more vegetarians among the camp volunteers, so we felt more comfortable asking for vegetarian food. They did a great job remembering us and offering alternative foods. The camp and conference center also has a lagoon, paddle boats, canoeing, a paintball arena, sand volleyball, a gym, some high-ropes course thing, and different paths through the woods for team-building or hiking. Great options and great, friendly staff. There's also a lot of other lodging options and other spots to dine, but our kids didn't spend their time there. I guess three camps could occur at the same time. It's just a summer camp spot, but it's a great spot. I'm looking forward to next year!

Meadowsweet Ranch…read more Wow! I cannot say enough good things about the staff and the program at Meadowsweet Ranch. I live over an hour away from Spring Grove, yet made the journey for my daughter who is an avid horse lover. She recently went for Spring Camp, and while it was only two days, she met other campers who have the same passion as her HORSES. She told me the day we left, "Mom hurry up! You need to sign me up for the summer before it is full!" She enjoyed riding, grooming and especially cleaning the hooves of the horses. I have always told her that riding a horse is a privilege and not a right. Horses need to be respected and that was fully reinforced at Meadowsweet Ranch. The safety of the children is priority, which is why the HORSE comes first. Crafts and activities planned with the other campers were appropriate, and the ranch feel is definitely welcoming. My only request is that I would have liked more feedback on the day of the camp to know what my daughter did that day. I guess no news is good news! Most importantly for me is that she LOVED it and we will definitely be back for on of the 3 summer sessions.

My daughter rides consistently and the prices are so affordable that I don't mind. She is being taught everything from grooming and tacking and riding to cleaning up, personal responsibility, safety, and riding etiquette. Every lesson is different. There are different types available for riders of different skill level, type, age, and approach. The stable owner and trainer is hands on, patient, funny and so respectful. I am just never anything but impressed with her and the team of workers and volunteers that help her out (including Husband Dean). We had our first birthday party there this year and it put things just up and over the top. I had to do a review. I cannot recommend this place any higher. Its a home away from home. 5 stars and beyond.

The staff were all so very welcoming, and you can tell that they have figured out much of what works and what doesn't in terms of camp guidelines. The facilities have plenty to offer in terms of a parking lot, cabins for staff members and camp leaders, cabins for camp participants (about 10-12 bunk beds in each of the participant cabins), a barnhouse that we used for dance workshops called the Rec Hall, and a dining hall. There are plenty of hiking trails and some obstacles (I'll let you find those out on your own!) on them for those who want to be challenged. Camptivities included crate stacking, canoeing, dam-jumping, nine square, and I'm sure there are others that we didn't get a chance to do. The food was delicious! Natasha was a wonderful cook along with her kitchen staff. The blueberry coffee cake is heavenly. Other meals included hot breakfasts with eggs, bacon, and fruit and meals with roast beef, rice and corn, grilled cheese sandwiches, and vegetarian chili. I hope to come back here again! The camp for the most part offers girls and boys' adolescent and teen camps during the summer.
