Regardless of religious ideology, hospitality and unconditional acceptance are inherent to this place! I continuously find myself drawn back year after year.

I was recommended to stay here by the manager at rough River resort. We really had a really great experience with our hosts Emily and Tim. I'm super blessed to have discovered Camp Loucon. Extremely grateful for the staff. Stayed here January 2021- March

Every year/summer my son always makes sure to remind me to sign him up for this camp. He absolutely loves it here. He feels welcomed, safe, enjoys all the activities and other kids. He always comes home telling me how he wishes he could stay longer. The best place ever for kids of all ages and families!

We use Camp blue cut every year for our youth camp. The people who work there with the kids are wonderful. The only real drawback is the food - I guess it’s good for camp, but it wouldn’t be my choice.

Wonderful camp! Great activities. The facilities are clean and well maintained. The most well organized camp in Kentucky. I feel safe sending my kids here, even with it being quite far away from where we live. Bridget is very professional and does an excellent job answering all of my questions.
