He has learned so many things and I enjoy hearing all about them when I visit. I have had the opportunity to pick him up several times and the staff and Director are always very, friendly and informative with filling me in on how his day was and what he's learned and studied. I also love the streaming of the Holiday performances that they offer the children and allows me to be there when I can't physically be there. He has been able to learn so many things because of the structure and discipline and kindness that the school offers!

It gives me joy and love in my heart." So to say the least, she absolutely loved coming here every single day. All of their performances and celebrations top any school function I've ever been to. Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day, picnics and so much more! Another aspect is safety. They have a doorbell system with cameras and sound. They will not let anyone in the school until they show an ID. It's so safe there. They also have headsets that all staff communicates through. I never had to worry about safety here. All of the teachers and staff are amazing! We felt like family and seeing the love my daughter had for all of the staff will be something I NEVER forget. The owners were sent here for a reason and CATERPILLAR COLLEGE IS IT! We will miss everyone at Caterpillar College and highly recommend it to everyone!!!

I've been here twice as a staff member for a week-long camp through my church: once as a counselor…read moreand once as an activity coordinator. We stayed in the cabins, ate in one of the cafeterias, and spent most of our time by the beach, in the wood shop, in the chapel (way too cold -- someone turn that air-conditioning down please!), and in the game room pavilion. The cabins were as clean as cabins could be with some bugs (it's summer camp, what do you expect?). One bathroom wasn't enough for a room of ten girls, though! The wood shop was cool, and the girls enjoyed hanging out on the beach nearby, jumping in the water or fishing from the pier. The game room pavilion had chairs and some games to play, but it wasn't as appealing as playing in the park, which was in the middle of everything. The cafeteria/kitchen staff was also very accommodating of my request for vegetarian food. The first year, I was too nervous about asking for special food since it was free, so I just dealt with it and ate meat for a week. The second year, there were more vegetarians among the camp volunteers, so we felt more comfortable asking for vegetarian food. They did a great job remembering us and offering alternative foods. The camp and conference center also has a lagoon, paddle boats, canoeing, a paintball arena, sand volleyball, a gym, some high-ropes course thing, and different paths through the woods for team-building or hiking. Great options and great, friendly staff. There's also a lot of other lodging options and other spots to dine, but our kids didn't spend their time there. I guess three camps could occur at the same time. It's just a summer camp spot, but it's a great spot. I'm looking forward to next year!

I've never felt more confident in a camp staff, I know my kids are having the best Summer of their lives. I'm just so grateful we took a chance and broke free from our normal friend group and tried this camp. No regrets! My girls made friends instantly! We will be back for Summer 2026! 100%.

Meadowsweet Ranch…read more Wow! I cannot say enough good things about the staff and the program at Meadowsweet Ranch. I live over an hour away from Spring Grove, yet made the journey for my daughter who is an avid horse lover. She recently went for Spring Camp, and while it was only two days, she met other campers who have the same passion as her HORSES. She told me the day we left, "Mom hurry up! You need to sign me up for the summer before it is full!" She enjoyed riding, grooming and especially cleaning the hooves of the horses. I have always told her that riding a horse is a privilege and not a right. Horses need to be respected and that was fully reinforced at Meadowsweet Ranch. The safety of the children is priority, which is why the HORSE comes first. Crafts and activities planned with the other campers were appropriate, and the ranch feel is definitely welcoming. My only request is that I would have liked more feedback on the day of the camp to know what my daughter did that day. I guess no news is good news! Most importantly for me is that she LOVED it and we will definitely be back for on of the 3 summer sessions.

He was not allowed to call or talk to us parents at all, we had no connection to hear from him personally.

My son is a great normal quiet kid yet he was bullied there and we had no control over it ... This camp Is a hit or miss. Also, directors use shady tactics of making kids spend pocket money (that they insist kids need to have) on stuff they don't need. Like my son brought home t-shirt and blanket and something else they basically forced him to buy. I tried to return with no luck.
