Camp Lakota

"My grandson loves coming here. Adults leading groups should refrain from calling children names such as "Mr. Late". They are children and are not the ones responsible for the time they arrive to camp each morning. Also, the signing in and out needs to be enforced and children should not be released to anyone besides the people listed in registration paperwork. We all, as adults, need to do better at protecting the children."

"Pros: nice staff, fun activities, decent food, helpful physical activities, and had camp store to buy cold drinks. Cons: outhouses had hornets, the terrain was hard to bike on, weird rules like no running, paper schedules were not accurate, and lake was difficult to see in. (P.S. I got the full experience because I was a camper.)"

"What a fun day with our littles. They asked to go back next year."

"What an absolutely amazing place for young kids to learn great life lessons. Our son couldn't say enough about how much he absolutely loves the staff here. He's been here quite a few years now and I'm sure he will want to continue to come each season for many years to come. I highly encourage folks to put their children in these programs."

"Fantastic Experience for First-Year Scouts at Camp Lakota!

I am thrilled to leave a glowin review about our experience at this exceptional camp. Camp Lakota surpassed all expectations in terms of cleanliness and organization.

The staff's dedication to maintaining a tidy and inviting environment truly enhanced our overall experience. It is clear that the camp's management places a strong emphasis on creating a positive and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. The organization at Camp Lakota was outstanding.

The well-planned schedule allowed our scouts to participate in a diverse range of exciting and educational programs. The attention to detail was evident in the smooth flow of operations, enabling our scouts to engage fully and make the most of their time at camp. I must commend the first-year scout program at Camp Lakota. It was tailored perfectly to meet the needs of our young scouts, providing an excellent introduction to Scouting. The activities offered were age-appropriate and fostered skill-building while keeping the emphasis on fun and friendship. Our scouts not only acquired vital outdoor skills but also formed lasting bonds with fellow campers."
