Stayed at Wonderland Camp for a youth retreat in January. All the facilities were clean and plenty to do (even in the cold). The kids played football, basketball, soccer on the fields. The facility has a rock climbing wall, which everyone loved. The chapel can sit a large group (I'd say about 500) and their a/v system is great. The quarters for chaperones/leaders are better than I expected. The beds are comfy and they provide linens and towels (kids need to bring bedding/towels). The cabin we stayed in had a mini fridge and a microwave. The Dining Hall food is mediocre (think grade school cafeteria food) but the personnel are very friendly and helpful. If you stay here, I'd recommend bringing bottled water, the water there is well-water. As someone who has planned retreats in the past, this facility is GREAT - it has breakout rooms, activities to keep kids busy, plenty of outdoor space and comfortable accomodations.

I was a chaperone with my son for his sixth through seventh grade class. We ended up staying one night, it was only about a 30 minute drive from the house but it really felt a world of a difference. We were served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I definitely enjoyed the activities, there was not a lot of mosquitoes and even with the rainy weather we still were able to get everything off the itinerary. Activities we did were rock climbing, kayaking, zip lining and also team building activities which helped us as chaperones with kids bonding. We had a total of 48 kids that were split up with teachers and parents, our group had five kids and by the end of the trip every kid became better acquaintance. The cabins had AC which helped make it a more comfortable one night stay. If I were to be asked to chaperone for next years classes, I’d gladly join the fun again.

I was there in the early 60's as a Boys Scout. The Camp was called Shagbark and Wonderland. The boys were housed at Shagbark and girls at Wonderland. I was attending church at that time on the West Side Chicago Cpt Norris was the pastor. I had so much fun there and I guess my love for the outdoors started there. I enlisted into the Army in 1966 and never forgot the love and care I received when I went there. May God continue to do great things for the future generation that go there.

Some of the best years of my life were spent at this camp. I was fortunate to work seven summers there from 1977 to '84 (missed '80). Many lives came to know Christ as we served kids and older adults from inner city Chicago. My favorite times were as the Waterfront Director down on the lake (before the pool existed), although I loved being a cabin counselor as well. I even met my wife, Edwinna of now 37 years there. Jack & Lucy Thomas (no relation) were the wonderful on-site Directors. God is alive and well at this place. I highly recommend you visiting or even sending your child for a great summer experience. I miss it dearly.
