Jericho Hills is such a fun camp! The grounds are beautifully maintained. There are so many fun things to do on the property! There are zip lines, swimming holes, huge water slides put in the side of the hill. There are great places for hikes, fire pits and hanging out outside. The camp is Christ-centered and it is evident throughout the activities and lodging. The food is delicious, and there is always plenty to fill all the bellies. The staff is kind and creative, and very hard-working. The lodging varies from a dorm/bunk experience to a lodge experience with private rooms. There are always hot showers available. We can't wait to go again!!
Bible camp for my young friend. The place appeared clean and well kept
I grew up going to this camp, counseling at camps here and even got married here. This camp is a piece of Heaven on Earth and I recommend it to anyone needing camp or retreat facilities. No better place to watch sunrise and sunset.
We have had a youth and teen Camp here for 8 years now. Such great people to work with.
