What families say
“My children went and were with the older group. They love to socialize with others that share their faith, play games, and get away from the house for a few days. I went there to help with the younger kids and it is awesome to watch the shy ones start to open up and enjoy themselves, all in the name of Jesus.” — Alison (Summer Camp Parent)
“This camp is so well loved by my church and the kids that attend here. I mostly go up to volunteer and help fix building needs, clean up the grounds, and painting. Some of the cabins are decently updated and feel homey. The lake is nice and the dining hall is fantastic with volunteer cooking staff who make great food.” — Stephanie N. (Summer Camp Parent)
“Our group had a great time! We really enjoyed a wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities, craft options, and teambuilding games. The meals were great with a wide variety of options. We love that you were able to bring scripture and gospel principles into the wrap up discussion after team building.” — Annette (Retreat – Morristown Stake Youth Group)
