Trickling through the middle of camp the soothing sounds of Strawberry Creek make for a relaxing and calming atmosphere.

The camp boasts a friendly and well-trained staff, crucial for ensuring the safety and enjoyment of everyone. Our Camp Cook keeps our campers well fed with delicious, healthy meals, and the dining hall encourages a sense of community during mealtimes.
