"Our group had a really wonderful experience at Camp Sunnystones - both in the lead up to camp, as well as during our stay. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made our retreat even more enjoyable. The flexibility of the program and the ease of using the online portal made planning and organising camp incredibly breezy. We will definitely be back to do this all again!"
