Our property is located on 300 wooded acres on the shores of Boulder Lake and we are surrounded by the 225,000-acre Northern-Highland American Legion State Forest and nearly 200 lakes and rivers, which means there are an abundance of opportunities available for our campers exploration. Our staff is a wonderful group dedicated to enriching character and leadership skills, and we are focused on promoting youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
