My husband and son went here for their 2022 winter camp. My son had a good time and my husband…read moreenjoyed being a camp counselor for the first time. Their only complaint was the food, my husband and I follow keto for health concerns and my son has some bowel issues so their food was hard for them and I guess pretty gross from my understanding. Otherwise they had a great time diving into God's word and fellowshipping with others. They hope to go back during summer but I think they'll be bringing a HUGE ice chest with food they can eat due to dietary concerns.

Twas his very first stint staying at an overnight camp. He enjoyed it so much, that he wants to ret'n for 1mo! From what he tells me, he likes the variety of activities: archery, hi-ropes, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, sailing, riflery, ziplining, hiking, backpacking, waterskiing, wake boarding, mountain climbing, camping, art & crafts. The bus picks up the kids at the Cheviot Hills Rec Center. Then you do not see nor speak with them until they return. The only correspondence permitted is via email or USPost. They also post daily picks of the kids at play to the web site. Twas a great way to help build a kid's sense of independence. That was my motivation to send mine here. We're both happy. I only had marbles and a fishing pole when I was in camp! (lol) *** Gold Arrow is pricey but it is a great way to cut the cord. ***

Skylake is a 5-star, sensational camping experience. Our three children have been attending for…read moreseveral years now, and consider it their "home away from home." They typically attend for a two week session and have consistently returned thrilled, having tried many new activities, having loved their counselors and made many new, great friends. Activities include: Horses, Archery, Paddle Boarding, Swimming in the Lake, Banana Boats, Biking, Rock Climbing, and Tomahawk Toss. Our kids report that the food is great, the songs and campfires are fun, the activities are great and there is nothing about it that they don't love. As a parent, it is easy to stay in touch...the Director (who is wonderful) posts a detailed summary each day on their password protected website of what is happening at Camp each day, and about 100 candid photos are posted each day to show what is going on around the Camp. The pictures are a great way to (sometimes) see candid shots of your kids and still feel in touch. The kids are able to get letters everyday and larger "care packages" once a week so you can stay in touch. We have interacted with the owners, nurse, and camp management on several occasions and have been impressed every time. These folks are great professionals! We will continue to send our kids to this remarkable Camp and commend Skylake for being such an oasis. Keep up the great work! Skylake is a dream...a 5-star camping experience!

My 8 year old son attended his first 2 week camp session at River Way Ranch Camp this summer. This…read morewas his first sleep away experience and we/he were blown away by every aspect of this camp. My son said he had "the best summer of his entire life, better than any vacation he's ever taken, better than anything he's ever done." He was initially so nervous about attending for 2 weeks, but next summer wants to go for 4! He absolutely loved his counselors and his cabin-mates. His favorite activities were tubing, knee boarding, zip lining, ATVs, the "Atlantis" lake inflatable obstacle course, and horse back riding. He loved "casino night" and performing for "mock rock" in front of the entire camp. He loved the food and it was so easy and convenient taking the bus home with a stop in Woodland Hills. He came home beaming, honestly hasn't stopped talking about his experience and is constantly singing camp songs. He's so excited to return next summer and bring some friends along. River Way Ranch Camp far exceeded our expectations. Can't wait for my son to experience many more of these unforgettable summers!

The staff are young, energetic, and amazing. Our (hyper active twice-exceptional) kids were *well* taken care of all week, so mommy and daddy could visit with other adults(!), and go on quiet hikes, and exciting adventure activities! However, a member of my family was offered (multiple) jobs at the camp, and learned that the staff are paid $325 per week, for working 6 days at 12-16 hours per day. Since the staff are given camp food and housed in shared cabins, there is some sort of math that makes this non-criminal. This is exploitation, and not the sort of thing I would expect out of an allegedly philanthropic organization. I will still be returning.

We…read moredid another sleep away camp one summer local to us for one week and that was a totally different experience. My son like many of his peers loves electronics. He does martial arts but hates all other sports. His favorite part of JRC is sleeping outside. He also loves mountain boarding, archery and fishing. He does chores willingly and successfully at JRC whereas there are many more complaints at home. If I sent my daughter here, she'd probably hate it because she doesn't want to sleep outside. My son didn't love it from the get go, he missed home. That's pretty normal, and he got over it. In the beginning years, he might falter in his excitement because he was afraid of the dark but that faded too. Send your kids if you think they'd might like it. It's a growing experience that is harder to find these days.

Visited Opera House in Reedley for first time last evening to see Lullaby of Broadway. My…read moreexpectations were not high when we parked outside -- the opera house does not look like much on the outside. I have been to Roger Rocka's in Fresno many times, and in the past year also visited the Golden Chain Theater in Oakhurst and the Ice House Theater in Visalia to see how they compare in quality of performance. They did not fare very well in those comparisons, so I expected somewhat the same result last night. I was in for a complete (pleasant) surprise. The ambience in the lobby once you step inside is charming and has that vintage small-theater-from-yesteryear feel. It is quaint and intimate. The dinner food was very good and better than I expected, but when the show began the experience changed from "interesting" to "wow". A brilliant cast that was as talented as it was varied by both age, gender, race and performance style took the stage in short bursts of songs from the history of broadway musicals. By intermission I was thinking the 2nd act would not top the first, but I was wrong again. From Chicago to Wicked to Phantom of the Opera, the cast took turns with one knockout performance after another. Perhaps because this was a musical revue-type play they could concentrate on casting singers rather than singer/actors, they were able to dial up some truly riveting performances. I had about 10 favorite songs that night...led by "All That Jazz", "Memories", and "Send In The Clowns"...but there were few songs that weren't very good. Summary: This one performance at Reedley was better than at least 1/2 of the recent performances I have seen at Roger Rocka's, and that is certainly not a criticism of RR at all. I am anxious to head back again soon to see how they handle other plays/musicals in the future.
