With 20 acres of land, two forty feet wide creeks,
and a 10,000 square foot log cabin lodge, the camp provides many areas for adventure and exploration. Surrounding the log cabin lodge
and through the wooded areas, children will delight in finding separate
paths leading them on the nature trails and to their homes in the woods
as well as the leather craft and fishing area.

On the entrance side of the camp is a greenhouse and a garden area that is ready for many "green thumbs".
Beyond the bicycle sheds are riding paths and hiking trails leading to
creek areas for summer exploration. There is the animal farm with ponies
and smaller animals for feeding and petting. You will also discover blue skies and sunshine, green trees, and deer tracks everywhere, all helping to create Camp
Whip-Poor-Will's permanent home in the country!
The former owners had built the log cabin for a
hunting lodge, naming it El Rancho Lodo! We shall leave their sign hanging
in gratitude for a job well done.
