This camp has some of the most caring staff and volunteers. I have used this camp multiple times…read morefor small groups for a day AND large groups (70+) for 4 days (3 nights). The camp has upgraded some of its living areas by renovating 7 of the 12 bathrooms in one of the hotel-style buildings - The Lodge. The walk overs to this build have been replaced. A railing has been installed from the driveway down to the bottom level. There is now a sidewalk from the large modern kitchen / dining hall & chapel (which is multi-purpose) to The Lodge. The sidewalk has been continued from The Lodge all the way down the road to the Retreat Center. The Retreat Center has a medium-sized kitchen, a meeting room, a conference room and accommodations. This new sidewalk means the someone who needs assistance can go from the Dining Hall/Chapel all the way down the road to the Retreat Center. The camp also has WiFi in the Dining Hall, The Lodge, and Retreat Center. It will soon have WiFi at the smaller cabin further down the road - Gerhard Cabin.

I was incredibly excited about this field trip. I was aware that the facility would require masks…read more"if indoors". Understanding and agreeing to this, if I had known this field trip would become all about masks, even while outdoors, I would have passed. That being said, my issues with the trip are more than just in regards to masks. Upon arriving, we were instructed to gather for some rules and instructions. Our children were exposed to staff members disclosing their vaccination status. I'm not sure why that mattered and was put in the intro, but absolutely UNNECESSARY. Keep that information to yourself and especially away from my innocent children's ears. If your facility and staff feel adults want to know that information, I suggest you put that on your website or communicate that to the ADULTS planning the trip. After way too long of an intro (which had children losing interest right off the bat), we split into our groups. I can't speak for my older children's group other than what they relayed to me, which was "Our teacher was boring and she talked too much. We were outside and she kept telling us to put our masks on even though we weren't near each other." My younger daughter's group played physical games which kids in this age group enjoy, however, my child injured her ankle and couldn't participate. So she sat unable to participate for the entire first half of the day. While her group did play physically, the teacher in this group also talked way too much. I can appreciate passion for things being taught but when you are dealing with children, too much talking is never good. They lose interest and don't absorb what they are being taught. I asked my children what they learned and if they want to go back they unanimously said "NO" while saying they didn't learn much. That breaks my mama heart as this was suppose to be a fun and educational day. Before leaving, I did take the time to stop into the main office and share the above info. Where I was greeted with hostile responses. I know the world is quite emotional right now but when someone gives honest feedback, it should be welcomed (good and bad). Feedback allows businesses (that care) the ability to see where room for improvement can be made. Being hostile, shows this facility does not care about its future business and does not want to grow. While I respect my children's desire to not return, have my encounter with the front office been different, perhaps I would be open to returning. But given the employees responses, we will not be back again. I'm a big believer in not just leaving a negative review without pointing out some positives... -Their facility is beautiful. -The staff (while pushy and ridiculous outdoors in regards to masking) were polite. -The day was planned well for the multiple age groups attending the event.

I cannot recommend this place enough. (Btw we drive almost 30 minutes each way for our son to attend here and it is worth every mile/minute!)

Firstly, the teachers are all very friendly, and you can tell that they truly care about what they do and about your child. Secondly, I love that the kids move around to different classrooms throughout the day and have structured learning activities with different subjects. The teachers are good about adding photos and videos in the app so you can see what fun things your child is doing during the day. And lastly, just wanted to mention that I love that there is an indoor gymnasium so even if the weather isn't conducive to playing outside, the kids still get exercise and time to release some energy!
