It's a wonderful opportunity for the kids to be outside all day, meet new friends, and learn about the environment. The Director, Phil, and his counselors are knowledgeable, dedicated, and so fun. My kids are thrilled when I drop them off and can't wait to tell me about every part of their day when I pick them up. And, boy, do they sleep well that night! I wouldn't hesitate to sign up for a grown up camp they might offer!

Bathrooms are spic and span. The play area consists of an open gym area. Slides of different sizes. A tree house. Lots of bouncy balls. There are also Gymnastic mats of different sizes and shapes. A small rock climbing wall, fun murals and stuffed animals adorn the walls. A great place for little ones to burn some energy during winter months.

There were three young girls working the party and they were amazing! They interacted so well with the kids and made sure to accommodate all abilities. The activities were age appropriate and switched up long before anyones attention span ran out. The kids had a blast! They did all of the setup, all of the cleanup, and even passed out the food. I was actually able to enjoy the party myself. I highly recommend their birthday parties!!

Excellent day! My group of 5 was paired with another…read moresimilarly sized group for a 2-hour zipline adventure. There were 5 or 6 lines ranging in length from about 50 feet to 700 feet. The 700 foot line is awesome. In between there is a high-ropes "intermission" when you can choose between some "broken bridges" or a net obstacle and tightripe. After that my group did a Tree Climb which is a physically demanding challenge to get up very high trees, swing from ropes, etc. Unlike the zipline which is just fun adrenaline, the tree climb requires some real exertion and I would not recommend it for those who are afraid of heights or who are not physically active on a regular basis. The guides for the adventure were all great. They were encouraging, made us feel safe, and made an effort to learn our names. It was a great experience all around and I would recommend this as an activity for anyone.

Make sure you come here with clothes and sneakers to wear in the woods if you partake in the entire experience. So first we did the ziplining and it was great - we zipped through about 6 lines of varying lengths and a couple of them had obstacles like a broken bridge or a tight-rope walk. Then we did the treeclimb. One entailed swinging from tree to tree until you got to the top, and the other one was to climb a very old, very large tree. The third thing we did was the scavenger hunt, which was great because we traveled through the entire premises to get clues to each station to accrue points and ultimately defeat our adversaries. lol The service and friendliness of the staff was top notch. They made us feel pretty comfortable and were having a good time along with us as well as guiding us through a fun, safe experience. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for adventure and a good time with a group of friends.

Enjoy spending 1,200$ a month to watch her mow the grass and contribute nothing to the well being of the park. After 30 years it's a shame. A lot of potential once current owner goes away.

November 2022 - COVID Review:…read more I had the opportunity to attend a 4-day, 3-night retreat at Guest House and the staff were absolutely great from even before I stepped foot in Connecticut! It's located in the cute small town of Chester, which is a good activity to do if you happen to have some free time during your visit. The Guest House also has an airbnb on site and although there may be other retreats/groups occurring during your stay, it doesn't feel overcrowded and everyone has their own designated meeting areas. Meal times were also handled well where we didn't overlap too much. I appreciated that they posted the food menus every day by the dining room so that you know what to anticipate. Water and tea are available around the clock, but if you have some late night munchies, you would need to pack and bring your own snacks with you. My main complaint was that the building is a little older so the rooms are a little outdated and the walls are quite thin. Overall, it was a good stay and I would visit again if I had the opportunity.

Upon arriving at the campground (we have a 40' diesel pusher) my wife went to check in. Before she…read morecould even get there an extremely upset woman came out screaming at us not to block the gate, our guests were behind us so we backed far enough to clear the gate and signaled the remaining two cars to go around us, one did. The other car finally got the hint and went around but made it clear they were not happy. Needless to say our arrival was anything but pleasant. We had to dump and drove to the station, the trees were so close together at the 90* degree turn we scraped the side of our Rv. When leaving we dumped again but had to drive into brush to avoid our previous peril. The park was obviously designed for pull behind cracker boxes. Our visit was pleasant with a large space, large fire pit and view of the pond across the road. The entire park is 30 amp and we had to use a pigtail for power. Our guests had to pay $12 each just to enter the park, a rip off in my opinion. Our two day stay was to be $180, but the add on fees brought the total to around 250.00. We have been full timers for over 7 years and have never been charged such add ons in any other park. Final thoughts, after everything I can say we probably will never return to this park. It was pleasant but adding the damage to my rig, our arrival pleasantry and being nickel and dimed to death I should rate this park and visit a "one". When my wife went to check out Monique was very apologetic but she was limited to that.
