Beautiful grassy area, shaded by trees right on the bank of a large creek. It’s awesome and did I say there is also a hot tub? This trip is an annual celebration of the younger girls. Parents and families are welcome and depending on your daughters self-reliance skills, may need to come. We had a blast last year with music and other fun activities at camp.
