I went to the Great Aussie Bush Camp with my grade. When we got there it was time to settle into our cabins. My friends and I was at cabin 1 , however our cabin wasn't built yet, so we had to stay in the scorching sun whilst the others had a shaded room! Then after that we had lunch. I was expecting worse , but I had just eaten the most delicious burger ever! Who knew buns, a patty, cheese and tomato sauce could be so tasty. After that we had archery which was nothing much. Archery is more easier said then done! Then we had giant swing and I was shaking in my boots! My group and I only went halfway and it was still very scary and thrilling. My suggestion is if you're scared of heights ask to only go halfway, trust me, but it was still very fun! Dinner was horrid! Spaghetti, how bad could it be? Even worse than you'd ever imagine. They literally just put spaghetti and spaghetti water and that was it no flavor at all, except the disgusting taste! if you are eating dinner here, don't. Just eat the garlic bread only. And commando sucked! The night guard wasn't scary. In the morning I did raft building which was amazing! The aim of the activity was to build a buoyant raft to hold one of the groups members. Then put the raft in the water and have a relay race. I was the one on the raft since I was the lightest and it was great! Then we had an anti bullying discussion. I don't know why we needed this but it was okay. after that lunch was great! We had sausages. they were fine overall 3 stars, would recommend the camp leaders were nice however my peers in my grade kept ding dong ditching people at night!The bugs really sucked, mosquitos everywhere! And that was basically it. read more

Hi Miranda – Thanks for sharing such a detailed review of your camp…

It was horrendous. When we arrived we were served yellow, moldy burger.That whole trip I starved to death. The spaghetti was watery and groos, the fried rice wasn't even cooked. Also why do the teachers get seafood platters and steak while we get dog food.One of my friends got really sick from the food and had to miss out from commando. The tent were terrible. We slept on yoga mats and mine was broken so i kept sliding onto my friends head. All of our beds were covered in sand then at the end of the camp we were the ones that had to sweep it up. Don't bang on about how "OH it's a camping experience". NO when i go camping my tents don't have holes in them. The activities were fun but my instructor Mitch was really rude. He would always yell at us if we asked a question. I loved commando though. Oh and don't get me started on the bathroom. The bottom of the shower door went up to my knees, like privacy please. There was also mud and old, used toilet paper on the floor. All in all it was a bad experience. read more

I went here for a school camp and it didn't live up to its standard. First of all the food. Spaghetti tasted watered down and very bland even with the sauce on top. The fried rice was a bit bland and just didn't taste good. The burgers I ate on the first day tasted like soft bread with some sweaty cheese and mystery meat. Last for the food is the ice cream which didn't taste like the regular ice cream from woolworths. According to my friends it tasted like the ice cream was from Temu(basically just bad). My group leader was a guy named George and he really showed and told us how to do the activities in detail and made sure we didn't get hurt. Everyone in my group loved having him as our group leader(especially the boys). The staff woke us up at 6am blasting random music and opening the cabin doors(which btw didn't have locks on them) and standing at the door until everyone in the cabin got out of their beds. Zack was the night guard and what I heard from the camp leaders and some friends that saw him said he was scary and came out of nowhere and caught u going to the toilet. The facilities were on a whole next level of disgusting, the cabins had concrete floors and we dirty and dusty a long with bunk beds that could break with any twitch. The bathrooms had toilets with toilet paper stuck To the mud on the floor, the showers also had mud in them and for around 80 girls we were given 1 hours to shower called "shower hour" which really was just only half and hour not an hour of being able to shower. Overall the activities were the best part. The giant swing was my person fav because besides giving u a massive wedgy was very thr read more

Came here for a camp. Not satisfied Firstly, the activities were fun, but was all ruined by the "Mud run". It said mud but it was just a bunch of rain water. Fortunately, there were no leeches (other groups claimed they saw some). Also we did it in July, a month where it was winter. The "mud" was freezing. We were practically dying to get a shower. And speaking of showers... There was like 12 showers for the whole grade. There was also zero privacy, because there are no hangers or benches in our showers. Doors were eroding as well and the bathrooms, well, let us just not begin on that. Our cabins were shared with a bunch of my friends. It was bunk beds, but they were unsafe as they had limited fencing. I found mud and holes all around my bed. Paint was also scraping. The bathrooms were 100m away but we held it in because of how bad they were in the first place. Food was the most... interesting. I swear the water they provide us were tap, and most people were not full. It was a while ago but I think we had Pasta, Noodles, Burgers, and Fried rice, which was all bland. The water tasted wierd. I only gave an extra star because of my friends. Otherwise, 1 star read more

I went to the great Aussie bush camp for a school camp about a week ago and it was horrible. First of all the food was disappointing and disgusting. On the first day we got there we were served undercooked burgers that had had green patties, next all the water was warm or hot. Second for the food we had spaghetti for dinner thst same night and it was dripping in water there wasn't enough cheese or sauce on it. It was next level bland. We the got served sandwiches for lunch the next day and they had no flavour to them. Then it was nachos and they were actually kind of good. But other than that they didn't put enough effort into the kids food while teachers got way better meals. Next cabins we were placed in greenhouses. The tents were boiling hot with our windows sowed shut so we had no airflow. The condensation in the room was next level not to mention the mould on the room and under the bunk beds. My cabin literally had a spider infestation that they didn't want to get rid of. The fly screen doors broke and mosquitoes broke in straight away. Also the beds were so uncomfortable. Thirdly the night guard is name is ZAC and he would eat you to the teachers for going to the bathroom also I went once in the night because I needed to go after I woke up to a bang and then he told my teacher and he opened my door invading all of us girls in the room's privacy like hello Buddy. And then he woke us all up at 6am to get us ready but mind you our activities and breakfast were at 8:49am. Next the activities they were good but one of the instructors were nasty to the whole group kids that were with me. We were doing high ropes and I got my ropes twisted I called for the instructor and I managed to break out of it and fix it myself but then my clips wouldn't unclip and then I asked for help and she told me that they were twisted THEY WEREN'T SHE WAS BEING RUDE AND NASTY AND LEFT ME THERE AND WALKED AWAY. ( sorry but if you work with kids you help them and if you don't like your job wby are you doing it??) and then my teacher yelled at her. And she went to apologise to me but it was so forced and still in a mean tone I told her that she shouldn't be rude and act that way and she rolled her eyes and walked away. The rest of the activities were fun other then commando it's so over hyped and it was really boring. Like we had to use helmets instead of kids not fun at all. And a lot of kids got hurt in the game. Also the BATHROOMS. THEY WERE DIRTY AND TINY FOR 90 girls in one bathroom lining up for showers was packed. With broken sinks and dirty showers and toilets. DON'T COME FOR ME IF YOU DID INJOY IT'S JUST MY OPINION. read more

I went to the great aussie bush camp for my year 7 camp and I had a bad experience. None of the food looked good especially the meat, the meat just didn't look right. For the breakfast they don't give you much but you do have options but it would be 2 pancakes a bit smaller than my palm, for dinner I had Mac n cheese and I had a big clump of hard and uncooked pasta but it was also VERY mooshy in my mouth. Half of my school got sick and threw up from food. In the tents it was extremely humid and hot that one of the kids had a heat stroke. In the tents it did have windows but there was a fly screen so not much air was coming threw, I had one of the worst sleeps of my life near my head was SO MUCH MOULD!!!!! I was really disgusted by this and also in the middle of the night it was raining on me, there was no wholes in the roof but the rain would just come threw. The mattresses are really thin and sticky and uncomfortable and also had dirt and grass on it. All the activities are really fun and enjoyable but my brother went to this same camp and he told me that he didn't do the mud run because there was a red belly black snake in the mud (the mud isn't really mud it is just really dirty water). The camp should definitely have bubblers every where (they did have a water tank to refill your bottle but the water tasted really weird) They didn't provide much cold water as they should've. This camp is recommended for the activities, not for food or sleeping at. read more

The food was amazing except for breakfast and all the activities were fun. One thing was the tents were practically saunas but got very cold at 5 o'clock in the morning. All the instructors were really nice and helpful except in the mornings they would wake us up by blasting loud music at 6 o'clock when breakfast was at half past seven. read more

*Just saying I do indeed live in Australia, not San Fransico, I don't know where yelp got that information... This is such a disappointment, considering the anguishing price of $355 AUD. The food was terrible, worse that my grandma's. It should be the next episode of Kitchen Nightmares. Their safety procedure was no good either, someone hit their head very hard on the metal pole on the tents and got a permanent scar below his eyes. The hygiene was even worse, the toilets were atrocious, there was a pool (literally) a pool of water after the rain, and yet they did nothing about it. Nothing. We are currently preparing a lawsuit towards the company in hope to sue them for the very major inconveniences and hopefully we will win the case for $1.5 Million. read more

GABC was good but my friend that I was in a tent with almost had an alergic reaction to the mould on the roof and my hair got wet from the moist in the roof. The food was good but we got fed a lot of snow cones and I got a chunk of green stuff in my no - cheese spaghetti bowl. In raft building, 1 and a half kids got eaten by the toothless croc called GUMMIE. The girls bathroom doors were 1cm wide. My egg was like jelly. I almost passed out on flying fox read more

The food was absolutely horrible and the instructors couldn't care less about your well being. They made us do all of the activities while it rained and had the nerve to feed us flavoured ice (snow cones). The instructors were extremely rude and showed attitude when I asked to go to the bathroom. The cabins were really messy and had random dirty socks underneath all the beds and the instructors blamed it on the people in my cabin. There was a kiss mark on my paper thin mattress and I could barely sleep on it. The activities were alright in the evening but the instructors yelled at us for talking; what do they expect us to do? they shove around 80-100 kids into a small area and expect us not to talk! The stay was horrible and they only gave you very short showers! We were forced to swim in mud and we only get like a 2 minute shower! And adding to that, there was cockroaches in all of the bathrooms and there was a dirty pad in the cubicles; it was very clear that they didn't wash anything regularly. read more

Unfortunately it appears the school did not read any reviews before sending the children there. It was revolting. The tents were putrid, the mats they slept on had mould and filth, the showers/bathrooms were worse and during a massive storm the children were stuck in stifling leaky tents. Apparently the food was passable, but the hygiene was questionable. A staff member telling a child not to be a smarta$$? Totally not acceptable. Bus to the beach with no seatbelts and 30 out of control children. Safety clearly wasn't a concern. Many children returned sick with respiratory illness and infections. Bad choice by the school and unfortunately the parents are left to pick up the pieces. read more

the place was alright. the food was good but the spaghetti tastes weird and the garlic bread was garlic on toast even though it was pretty yummy. The cabins were squashed. there was like 8/12 people per cabin. The bathroom was bad. there was cockroaches and grasshoppers everywhere. The bathroom was out of the cabin so if we wanted to go to the cabin at night, we had to go out, through the hallway and then arrive in the darkness. the mattress was not good. you have to put it on nicely yourself and it squeaked every time you rolled around. The activities was fun but it was far from the tap, bathroom and on the flying fox when you get of you end up on the other side and you have to walk back yourself. the flying fox was kinda dangerous because when you arrive the kids hold onto you and if they don't you'll end up in the middle, above a forest. the night supervisor was strict and the instructors was energetic but not the food people. You have to share the place aka dinner place with another school and it can get very crowded. The tables were close together and if you're not careful, you'll spill your food. overall it was pretty nice. read more

Great little stop to get an under the table hand job on the way to Sydney. Very cheap too, and the counsellors keep the kids away from the hand job spot- or the Wank Bank as I like to call it. Just don't let Counsellor Wu do it. He has really rough hands from beating his wife. The only complaint I have is the dead hookers in the industrial bins behind the kitchen. read more

My stay was horrible. The beach walk was depressing and it would have been safer if we weren't wearing shoes in the water. The food was horrible and one of my friends got moody food. The accommodation was horrible. We had to sleep on mattresses 1cm thick covered in a tarp. It was uncomfortable and you could tell that they had never been washer. Another one of my friends had a mouldy bed. Everything was disgusting. The only thing that was good was the activitys. But the talks were way too long. We wasted about 45 minutes talking about how to put a helmet and harness when we had done it heaps of times before. I was very disappointed. read more

Oh my god! Do not bring any class groups here teachers! Especially do not stay in the tents! Campsite One doesn't even doors to the tents, just zippers so snakes and any insects could get in. We had to sleep on gym mats that had never been washed and the tarp in place of a roof had patches all over it that were falling off. The food was disgusting and the lettuce was from big plastic bags and pre chopped. On some activities they had training staff that weren't properly approved yet, and I was almost dropped of a 12 meter high abseiling wall by one. The staff were constantly joking around and not being serious. I was very excited about going to the beach and thinking that it might be a little alright, but I was wrong. We had to go in fully clothed and keep our shoes on. I got FOOT CHAFING! WHO GETS FOOT CHAFING?!?!?! I got bitten by mossies everywhere on my body! There was about twenty bites on each leg and ten on each arm. One girl couldn't participate in some activities because of how many mossie bites she got. The bathroom doors were so high that you could almost see my lady bits so you couldn't bend down even a little in the shower. The everything was incredibly dirty. So much so that one of my friends had anxiety attacks and couldn't stop crying. Although I must say that some of the activities were very fun. This is the review of a student staying and I think the view of most of my peers is also being reflected. DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Underwhelming, staff were belligerent and uncooperative with the organisation of events and activities. Surprisingly quantity of pests in dining areas and accommodation. One staff member untrained in CPR/first aid, caused problems when one was bitten by a snake and when a PFD failed. Site information misleading, and in this case false. read more

Beware the mac and cheese! At the great Aussie bush camp, I was treated worse than anyone who walks into my house claiming they don't like Vegemite. If you are a student deciding if you should go or not, don't. This was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. As it says on the brochure, it was an experience I will not soon forget, but not in a good way. The first absolutely terrible thing that happened was the bus ride there. Here is a short maths lesson for you. Bus + Heat + Teens = Horror. I know I can't even blame the camp for this one, but I do. The next terrible thing that happened was the cabins. Let me rephrase that, plastic bags. The tents weren't even adequate enough to provide shelter from the rain as it still soaked through. The tents had no insulation, and it was either incredibly hot and humid or incredibly cold and wet. Their lame excuse for mattresses were gym mats and I know for a fact that there was a rat in one of the cabins. Then the first meal came. It was a burger, and the food was generally good except for the bone-dry patty, but don't be fooled. The food just keeps getting worse. I may as well describe all the food to you in a tired list now. S is for Sno-cones A is for Apple but not for barbecue. B is for burger C is for cordial; they can't get enough of it. "Hey, can I have some wate-" "CORDIAL" "But..." "CORDIAL." D- E is for everything else F-Any breakfast, mac, and cheese (cheese soup with noodles) For our first activity we went to the beach which was pretty good except for the goofy ahh game we played called yak, teddy, oar. I'm going to rank all the activities. A- Beach, flying fox, Commando (night activity) B- C- archery, rock climbing E-Goofy game (I can't remember the name) (night activity) F-mud run. Still having nightmares of that waist deep mud. The first night was really hot and we got no sleep, the second night it was raining and the people on the other side were having a really loud disco party that we weren't invited too, so that was fun. On the second night I tripped and grazed my knee l, and that is a full story. I tripped over a log that I couldn't see because it was pitch black, and grazed my knee and got a whole lot of mud in it. Then I went and started washing my knee off from one of the water tanks. Then an instructor told me to stop wasting the water. I'm sorry, is my personal hygiene not more important to you than water in a tank. It's literally pouring! It's probably going to be overflowing in the morning, so you go back to your first class cabin and enjoy yourself, while I'm out here trying not to get a wound infected. Anyway, I go to another instructor, and he tells me to go put a shirt on. The audacity. At this point my friend is begging me to ask a teacher, but I'm a man and I push through. Anyway, a kid I don't even know comes to our tent and it turns out that this kid had a first aid kit. He gave me a bandage and a pat on the back. So this kid I don't even know cared more about my health than someone who is legally obliged to look after me. Welcome to the great aussie bush camp! Then the best part came. The bus ride home. I kid you not, for half the bus ride, my head was in my pillow, wishing I could be home. I've never felt homesick before, but the great aussie bush came really helped me with that one. One final thing I forgot to mention is that the camps are based on WWII camps. Have a great time! In conclusion, no, don't go, yes, it is that bad. If you must go, look out for fighter jets, as tea gardens is close to Williamtown RAAF airbase. Would give a 0 if possible. Please never talk to me about this camo again. I REALLY HOPE THAT SOMEONE REPLIES TO THIS REVIW. IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO MAKE. Thank you for making it all the way through. read more

To start off with, I truly pity anyone else who, like me, was forced to endure days on end in this hellhole. Not only were the rooms swarming with ants and flies, but we even found blood in the mattresses and vomit outside our fucking cabin. Not to mention that in one of the games, we were forced to spend hours outside in a dark forest where one of our friends was bitten by a snake. Upon hearing the screams of agony, nobody was able to reach her or even get back to the supposed 'safety' that the instructors should have provided, so we were left scrambling in the mud, in the dark, with the spiders and who knew what else, trying not to die. Then, a few hours later, when we had regrouped at the cabins, we realised that we had left behind two of our classmates! What ensued was a massive scramble to search for the missing classmates, only for them to emerge half an hour later, scratched, bruised and crying about spiders. Now, we shall move on to the food. How, you may ask, could anyone possibly screw up the simplest dish of them all - mac and fucking cheese. Let's take a moment to consider one microwave, one packet of food, what could possibly go wrong? The texture was somehow rubbery, creamy and burnt at the same time, don't ask me how this is even fucking possible. And don't even get me started on the spaghetti. I swear to god, I thought they were tapeworms. I'm not even going to talk about the supposed 'meat' we were served. I don't know what poor animal produced this utter shite, but I hope they rest easy in hell. Beware of the scrambled eggs! My friend has been forced to endure this prison camp three times, each for three days, at three different schools, it's time we stop this torture. Speaking of animals, that's the only thing the cabins were fit for. I swear to god, prison cells are considered five stars compared to them. In the heat of summer, the air conditioners were as dysfunctional as my life. If I dared to so much as nudge the controller, the supposed cooling properties of the air conditioner blasted out a gust of insects, dust and who knew what else. There was mould EVERYWHERE, on the ceilings, on the walls, even on the floor! The showers.... oh, god, the showers. One hour for 180 students to use the five showers available. 'Shower Hour' made me cringe with dread every time I heard the phrase. By doing some simple maths, shower hour is more like the shower of dread. If someone took more than thirty seconds in the shower, there would be a barrage of students climbing over the doorframe, and if someone dared to step on the yellow tiled floor of the shower block barefoot, foot fungus would soon await them. If you so dare to ask for a sip of water, the only answer you will get as a response is the dreaded slush of the cordial inside the jug. Every day, there was no such thing as a drink break, just a snowcone - codename for a cup of disgusting, unhygienic ice drenched in a Niagara Falls of cordial. God forbid you actually want a sip of water. If I'm being completely honest, the instructors at camp reminded me of the animatronics in FNAF. Fake, basic and slightly unnerving in their persistence to get us to actually participate in the activities in the scorching heat. So, all in all, yeah I would not recommend the Great Aussie Bush Camp. Parents, if you're reading this, please, I beg you, spare your children from the horrors of the 'camp'! Schools, please don't send your pupils to this godforsaken place. And children, run, run as fast as you can. read more

Because there is no 0 it's a 1 First off the cabins, SCORCHING hot in the day and FREEZING cold at night and we had no fan, aircon or anything. the mattress? a gym mat and the bed was sooooo thin and small. there are literally peep hole around our cabin and someone opened it when my friend was getting changed. NOT GOOD. Boys were kicking footy balls out on the grass and hit my friend TWICE in our cabin. They NEED have PROPER DOORS. the door had mesh on the front and could see the inside and we had to put a towel over it. And the door would just fly open because of the "lock" like they could at least have a real door. we had no lights/ electricity so when it's dark you cannot see. i dont understand how they can call it a cabin. The food. do not get me started. if you have a dietary requirement you have a neon wristband like I'm insecure enough that I wish I could rip it off. the garlic bread was just bread with butter and garlic and from hearing other people, the food was TERRIBLE the only yummy thing was the apple juice. they gave us snow cones as afternoon tea and it really did not cool us down. The absolute best thing was the drink can on the last day. one of the instructors was dared to eat a stack of pancakes. He ate them and spat them out after 1 second which proves they were REALLY NOT good. The activities were pretty good although the power fan could be faster and the dual flying fox longer otherwise they were enjoyable especially the mud run and going to the beach because it was a REALLY hot day. The instructors were half good half bad. special mention to george for making the experience way better than it had to be and being soooo nice to us so thank you. He should really get a raise. But there was one instructor that spilled my friends chocolate milk and then constantly YELLED at HER to clean it up when she didn't do anything. She started BAWLING her eyes out afterwards and that was not a great night. The bathroom were SO HOT and stunk. They really need a little shelf in the showers to put your stuff and put more sinks and showers in. Overall the experience is NOT worth the 500 dollars it cost to go there I would pay 100 for that and you probably could pay me to even stay there for 1 night. read more

Some of the camp was good, the activities were pretty fun! Except for the food, the instructors, the area and just the whole lifestyle and experience there. I had to eat the crustiest mustiest garlic bread, a bowl of undercooked watery spaghetti, ice and cordial a.k.a "a snowcone", chocolate milk and woolworths cookies, mash potato; also known as cheesy yellow baby food and so much more revolting food. My friend literally vomited after eating. So many people felt sick from the food, even me. It was day 1 and everyone wanted to leave. They woke us up at 6am by blasting music through speakers. Most of the instructers were really nice! And I had a lot of fun with them (not like that, im 13 years old ). But some of them were suprisingly rude. After eating we were told (screamed at) to sit down and wait even if everyone was finished. I wanted to go to the bathroom after eating so I could change my pad. A female instructer with leopard-print shorts allowed my friends to go to the bathroom, but said that I can wait. Girl do you really want to see a murder scene on my pants and chair? You are literally a woman you should know this.. I don't understand how the teachers didn't check the reviews before organising it. Please improve this camp, especially the food. I didn't poo all camp (3 days) because they didn't give us any 'real' food with fibre. I've never been so happy to be home. read more

The camp itself was ok, however, there were a lot of things that should have been improved/better. Food Review First Day Lunch Burgers-meat was horrible, bread was horrible. a peer got food poisoning from it. It tasted like Niven's dick. Afternoon Tea- spaghetti bolognese- the pasta was ok but the meat was horrible. could've fed it to my dog. Dinner- Coles cookies and chocolate milk. in my opinion, this was the best meal of the day. Second Day Breakfast- a selection of pancakes, garlic bread, scrambled egg, baked beans and a variety of cereals. Bread was horrible, tasted sweet. The cereals were autistic and could've been fed to niven. The food was the same as previous days. Negatives of Camp Boys cabins were ridiculously small and dirty. there were questionable fluids on the mattresses like a weird white liquid and blood. There is no ventilation and i had trouble breathing. Power went out on the first day due to a power overload. unacceptable Food was absolutely shit. the night guard is strict and will open the door of your cabins and shine the torch in our faces. it's an invasion of our privacy. tour guides were very strict and would deny people of supper when they were honest. Good things about camp activities were pretty good ray the tour guide was very good. realistic Overall, the camp was bad but should've been improved. the government should audit this place. read more

I came here for school in year 4 and I was expecting a great trip with all my buddies, but then we met another school that was there, and they were in year 6, now back then a year 6 was very big and scary but these year 6s just figured out how to masturbate and they loved it. In the middle of the night one night there was a knock on the door, most of us were awake talking but hearing this scared us a lot, our friend max opened the door to a year 6 barging his way in, not only 1 but 18 big tall year 6s barged in squishing us all into the back of the cabin, we begged them to stop as it really hurt and I was against a metal pole, they all screamed at the top of their lungs than all ran out, but they left a surprise, they absolutely covered the floor in semen and we were blamed getting put in a tent cabin for the rest of the 1 and a half days we had left in this amazing camp. The next day our friend Eli found 6 dead hookers in one of the industrial bins behind the place were we eat, and we found a cabin that was giving out hand jobs and even had a mattress turned into a glory hole. don't go here please its so shit read more

this place is a blast! i had to come here for a school trip in year 6. I wasnt expecting much but boy was this place amazing. a highlight of the trip was definetly running into some little year 4s in one of the other cabins. me and my buddies had just learnt about masturbation and decided to give it a go. we were just trying to find an empty cabin to play soggy biscuit in, but instead we ran into some year 4s. so we took advantage of the oppertunity, we played soggy year 4s!! we ran in and squished them into the corner of the room and all took turns chokin the chicken until we were milked dry. by the end, there was semen allll over the floor. Best. Day, Ever. definetly recommend however i am confused by the hookers in the industrial bins read more

I went to the great Aussie bush camp for my year 7 camp. I was expecting pretty good things but when I turned I was very disappointed. We had to sleep in tents and they were so humid and disgusting. We had to sleep on extremely thin gym mats that had hair and dust all over them. The food was horrific, except for the snow cones. They kept us up so late and then made us wake up at 6 am blasting music through our doors. The only thing that was good were the activities. They were really fun. Except the instructors were very strict and would threaten us with not giving us dinner. After swimming in the river/lake we weren't allowed to have a shower until after dinner. It was so disgusting. read more

The bathrooms smelt like shit and there was only 6 showers for almost 200 people. The food was plain and the chicken wasn't cooked. On last day they scammed us and we got some really bad spinach and ricotta cheese roll instead of the sausage they said we would get. One of the beds in the dorm was broken and I could slip from the top bunk to the bottom. The instructors didn't do anything when we told them about the bed they just pulled it back up and stood on the opposite side and said it was fine they when someone slept on it, it collapsed again. Then when we went to our activities they changed the bed and told us it was never broken. read more

Absolute buns My burger patty was raw and pink, my friend vomited for two days after accidentally drinking of their lake water. I didn't shower for two days because there was like 60 people in my year and 5 showers and only one hour overall to shower, so I didn't even have time to shower. The lady yelled at me when the fork the wrong way around. Always hungry, didn't eat for like a day and a half. Absolutely buns buns buns buns buns sue now read more

This camp was a prison camp. They made us "play" in the rain and froze us to near death! Only one person vomited up the food, but everyone else felt sick. They had a room inspection that they said was for candy, so everyone who brought some freaked out. The showers were deadly and the heaters barely worked. Coming home was the best part of my life. This place is fun but disgusting with mould under mattresse. DONT RECOMMEND read more

Terrible camp everybody in my year that went there agreed on this. The tents were mouldy and leaked and they were either hot and humid or cold and damp there was no solid medium. The food was terrible and the only enjoyable things were 3 of the activities and seeing fighter jet fly bys. read more
