I cant say I know much about the place anymore,But a long time ago,when I was 10 -13 I went here for 4 awesome weeks and I've often thought about it...with very fond memories of course. Mrs.Dot and Aunt May were running the place then(if anyone remembers) . It looks like the big house they stayed at is gone now:( replaced with a paved court ? But things change as things do and the camp definitely... I cant say I know much about the place anymore,But a long time ago,when I was 10 -13 I went here for 4 awesome weeks and I've often thought about it...with very fond memories of course. Mrs.Dot and Aunt May were running the place then(if anyone remembers) . It looks like the big house they stayed at is gone now:( replaced with a paved court ? But things change as things do and the camp definitely seems to have expanded!! We used to have the 4 cabins...(#4 still rocks I bet!) The barn,the big white house,I think the pavillian with a couple tables and the pool(just one).Ms.Glitter ;)🤔was our swimming instructor then. . I actually decided to look it up to hunt for a website as I'm thinking of sending my son . Here or River Valley Ranch...and because I'm looking to see if anyone else went here around that time...to be a bit more specific it would have been 1989-92. I am trying to remember a song that we were taught one of those years that we all couldn't stop singing that entire week...to the point we were actually being told to stop and getting reprimanded multiple times when we just couldn't. It was so catchy ! If anyone maybe remembers please contact me by adding to these reviews. Ill check periodically. But yeah,great place. Lasting memories. If you can send your kids....do.
