What People are Saying

SUMMER CAMP REVIEWS

My 11yo son had the “best time ever” last week! We’ve only had him home for 18 hours but we can already see all the confidence and new assertiveness he’s developed in such a short time. We started the morning with him instructing us how to pick mulberries and now he’s helping my husband fix a wiggly stair – things we’ve never seen him have any interest in before. He’s moping around saying he “misses camp” – whatever you folks are doing there you’re clearly doing it right! We couldn’t feel better about our decision to send him – we all only wish he could have stayed a little longer.- Summer Z.

We’ve been sending our daughter for 3 years straight and she always comes back energized and happy and excited for the next year! The Amstutz family are amazing people and the facilities and experience there is top notch!- Aaron F.

My boys have come back from camp with a sense of pride and confidence both years they have gone. It’s amazing to see how much they grow in just 5 days. Ed, Claire, and the counselors treat the kids with a level of respect that allows them to feel self worth and secure in their journey for growth. I’m so glad the camp was recommended to us. We will be back again next year!- Jennifer L.

FARMSTAY REVIEWS

This is the highlight of our fall season! Wonderful family farm stay that has definitely become an annual trip for us. Wonderful staff and amazing experience all around! – Emily H.

We had the best time! Everyone was so nice, food was great, beds were comfy and cabins were clean. The kids loved running and playing on the farm, but most of all playing with the animals and learning how to feed and care for them. Would totally recommend this experience!!– Kim S.

You can’t get more of a picturesque country experience than this! The setting of the farm is exquisite, the accommodations are charming, and the hosts are exceptionally hospitable. What a wonderful getaway to experience the simple joys of farm life! — Melanie (airbnb)
