Great place for groups!

I remember vividly coming here with my class as a kid. It was my first sleep away camp.time being away from my parents for multiple days. We stayed in cabins with bunk beds and had such a wonderful experience in nature and saw/tried so many new things! The beautiful scenery allows for creek hikes, beach walks, and all sorts of adventure in the near by surroundings. I would highly recommend, especially for a group!
