Amazing people and such enjoyable trips; I had a fantastic time! The food was delicious, as was the music, and I had the nicest summer ever!

I adore this location because everyone is so friendly. You will be exposed to a wide range of new experiences. My first year there, I was terrified, but there is nothing to fear; you will have the best time ever.

This location is a lot of fun! I intend to attend as a camper this year and hope to become a volunteer as well! The personnel is fantastic, and the food is delicious!:-)
