Do not attend Granite Hills/ AZYM if you are non-denominational, POC, have any dietary restrictions, low income or are okay with your children starving, dehydrated or being sleep deprived. This camp is not meant for children who are beginning their path with god. They will make your kids stay still in service 5+ hours even when they are tired emotionally and physically. They are not allowed to leave as each event is mandatory. They don’t provide filtered water for the kids, the kids are given hose water to drink. Kids aren’t allowed to get drinks from lunch/dinner to carry in their water bottles. They threatened to take away the kids soda and juice privileges.(mind you they paid for this privilege.) The events were poorly staffed and mismanagement. They made our kids stand in the line for activities on the hottest part of the day only to be told they could not participate. They have kids up from 7am to midnight and stop feeding them at 5pm. They do not provide snacks in between nor the 6 to 7 hours after dinner. Kids are expected to buy snacks from their pop bar. The pop bar was sold out of everything on the last day of camp. Our group attempted to buy food outside for our kids to feed them but we were advise no outside food was allowed. (We were encouraged to leave and get Starbucks on day 1) Griffin McGrath was grateful enough to give our kids his staffs leftover catered Panda Express after letting it sit out all night. The next morning, donuts from a nearby bakery were bought for the other teams. Our group leaders and students who are vegetarians and kosher could not get any food substitutions and had to eat sides and salads. Substitutions were provided to other church groups. Salad supplies were low and often had run out. The Camp Deans forgot our boys were in a cabin and did not check on them till the last night. The Deans threatened to make the kids stay up past midnight until a camp survey was filled out on Day 3. I encourage you to find another place to take your kids for their safety and well being. All attempts to advise of our experience were met with pushback from camp and...
Read moreA quiet, secluded camp with dorms, a conference room, pool, on site chapel and dining hall with excellent chefs and a wonderful pastries chef, climbing towers and a crazy three person swing. Spots for fellowship, team building and solitude. Very personable and accommodating camp host and minutes away from downtowns courthouse square. A fantastic place for a getaway weekend to escape the hectic city pace...
