I took my students here in February 2017 for a 2 night retreat. The place was clean, the food as fabulous, the sleeping accommodations were comfortable; the bathrooms were sanitized and spotless, and the ambiance was perfect for college students who needed a partially breakaway retreat and educational experience! I also greatly appreciated Chris and how he helped get things together for us, and how the rest of the staff took great care of us the entire time we were there! On behalf of The Ithaca College Emerging Scholars Program, THANK YOU CAMP STELLA MARIS!
