"Camp Cherry Valley offers so much more than any other land locked camp our troop has been to. Snorkeling, hiking, then canoeing back, and swimming at will in the ocean are indispensable [opportunities] for troops that do not live near the beach."

"The waterfront activities are the best of all the summer camps in CA. These opportunities are unique and provide different opportunities in the water they would not have at home."

"Our troop has a long history of attending CCV. One of our ASM in attendance came with his sons and is now present with his grandson. We love CCV for many reasons. The program is excellent.
