Camp Ronald Mcdonald

Hello I never do reviews but this place needed one. Seriously I couldn’t fine any b4. my family and I went here for family camp, at first we weren’t even sure we should go because we don’t get out much. This camp with all the workers and volunteer is priceless coming here gives you something that no amount of money could buy. You are treated like family well better than that. the staff treats your children as if they were there’s there’s its unexplainable what you take with u from camp Rhonald McDonald all the other families that are the same as yours, there are people u can relate to that can relate to you and have been where u are or are going thru the same things. The kids beyond enjoyed it and not just mine every last child there had a great time and was sad to leave. there activities included fishing, archery, toy building, arts and crafts family pics and many other games, also the adults had a chance to interact and talk. All the kids are treated equal and can be kids it’s amazing even my husband want to come back next year! And he doesn’t like outdoors but he loved camp. It’s something that we will never forget. Ps the foods good to, if ur thinking don’t go just do it !!! U won’t regret it

Sorry, this is LONG…
I did this with my bf, his sister and her family just this past weekend. I didn’t know what to expect when we signed up for this. I was just told that we will be staying at the camp for two nights and that we will help out at the camp.
We basically signed up to help out with updating, repairing and touching up the camp site before summer camp started for the kids. It was about 2.5 hours drive from Venice to the camp.

What we did:
You can sign up for several duties for the day such as: apply non-​slip coating at the pool’s ground, repaint cabins, rebuild teepee platforms, staining the fence that surrounds the camp, repairing windows of cabins, repair torned sleeping bags, repair flooring of program office.
Overall, this was a rewarding experience and I look forward to doing this again next year. It’s a great volunteer event that you can do on your own or with your family!
