First of all, I want to give the staff 5 stars. We volunteered to work in the kitchen as our kids were at camp. The kitchen staff were great. Mark and Lucy were very kind and professional, Jake, and Elliot were fun and made dinner prep go smoothly and Jacob was all business and super helpful. Fair warning though, working as a volunteer, in the kitchen is fast-paced and no joke! Absolutely hydrate. ITS HARD WORK!! The family cabins are minimalist and rustic. We tried to prepare for the hot weather by bringing our own portable A/c but there was absolutely no way to place this unit using their side-opening windows. It was well over 85 degrees and once it cools off at night, the cabin remains warm until morning. The foam mattress also heats up the longer you lay on it. We asked if they had a cool space for us and they put us in a air conditioned apartment basement offered up by staff members ELI AND KASANDRA. This was quite kind. Camp for kids looks like they were kept busy and as cool as possible. They have plenty of staff watching over them. I walked into both boy and girl cabins to drop off something and the cabins were way to o warm for comfortable sleeping. They use fans. It is not enough in 90 degree weather. I would have paid a little more for my Childrens comfort. Night time is a struggle for my kids and many kids. Offering comfort can help attitudes. Camping does not have to mean suffering in heat. My son did not want to return based on the discomfort (heat) alone. I think a comfort-based survey from the kids may be useful towards repeat business. Again Staff gets 5 stars Comfort gets 2 family cabins too warm and campers residence is also too warm. Please buy air conditioners READER: PLEASE DONATE AIR CONDITIONERS I hope you all find this helpful, God bless. read more

My 11 year old son loved his first overnight camping experience at Camp Phillip! The staff are kind and caring and he told me the food was delicious! He learned new games, practiced archery, swam in the lake, and had Christian devotions by the campfire at night. The cabins were clean and comfortable. He is already looking forward to going back next year! read more
