Description
~ The Amstutz family created The Country Experience on our 34 acre farm, as an expression of our imagination for our life.
The Country Experience began as a summer sleepaway camp, and that continues to be our primary focus. Along the way, TCE has also become a destination for school groups and teachers looking to put hands-on learning into practice, a spot for families to get away and relax, and home to really good wood-fired pizza. ~
