Cityteam Camp May Mac

Great camp! For “staff” they utilize a contract with a program called Teen Challenge Monterey Bay, which is a group ran by Mike Borden, whom (they told me as whispering oddly cautiously while serving our food) takes all of their wages and they cannot leave unattended and no free time of their own. A group that on the inside isn’t what it is on the surface — and should be viewed as questionable, at... Great camp! For “staff” they utilize a contract with a program called Teen Challenge Monterey Bay, which is a group ran by Mike Borden, whom (they told me as whispering oddly cautiously while serving our food) takes all of their wages and they cannot leave unattended and no free time of their own. A group that on the inside isn’t what it is on the surface — and should be viewed as questionable, at best and they tend to give off a disconcertingly mysterious “Stephen King Children of the Corn high-control cult imprisoned vibe” and they make under the breath comments about as much when they’re serving food, cleaning dining hall and talking in the kitchen. I was told they are only technically allowed to say “hi and bye” and can’t make eye contact with, nor respond very much (especially if you’re not a male) with commonplace friendly customer service interactions that you’d expect at a place like this, which can obviously drastically alter the psychological mood of the day and overall camp customer service & dining experience. One of them asked to secretly use my cell phone (at 6:40am cleaning the bathrooms) because they wanted to leave. I reminded him there’s a Payphone at the other camp building, but he said not allowed to be openly seen using it. It’s very strange and reminds me of the “Sleepaway Camp” horror movies. That being said, he said CityTeam MayMac is not otherwise associated with/in control of Teen Challenge’s policies & internal combustion, so I don’t ding MayMac for that. MayMac is a great camp and you’ll enjoy your time there. As long as CityTeam keeps its own professional kitchen manager and its own CityTeam maintenance staff volunteers & employees, it’s a solid camp. Be sure to connect to their private and public trails they connect to! It’s nice up there!

Such a beautiful place. My family and I just took a tour given by my husband. He attended Maymac as a child and worked there. While touring the camp, he told us stories about his time there. I'm giving it a 5-star review because the way it looked and the friendly staff. The property large and very beautiful. There is a variety of activities that will keep everyone busy. Unfortunately they are no l... Such a beautiful place. My family and I just took a tour given by my husband. He attended Maymac as a child and worked there.
