I went to this camp for 4 years as a child, and while I enjoyed being outside, the food was great, and the lake is stunning, overall it was an experience that I have really terrible memories of. I was severely bullied at the camp by the same girls every year (as many returned year after year), and didn't feel safe to tell the adults around.
