I went back in 2015 on a school trip for three days and I had the time of my life, especially since I'm obsessed with marine biology. The staff were really nice and good at teaching about what they know. I even befriended a staff member named Smo. The food was delicious and would be good for kids with allergies since there is a wide variety from things to choose from. There were many sights to see and the place we stayed was beautiful because the animals we were able to view varied from deer, buffalo, and even bald eagles! I would definitely recommend to a friend!

My school had a truly amazing time. My instructers were fun. And my favorite part was the "long division"

My school (Landmark) went there in March and I'm so glad that I decided to go. The experience was truly amazing. The cabins were clean, the food was delicious, the labs were fun and helpful, and free time was fun. We did the dark maze and that was fun.

I loved it I went there for sixth grade in April 20 something and I loved everything about it. I went to foxlanding and I had a really great instructor. I hope you have a great time there if you. I really miss it there and hope to come back. I also I had a great time with my friends

It was amazing and my class loved it! We loved the food and the people! The labs were super fun and educational. Please go, you won't regret it!

It was great. The food was amazing. Kate and Katie were the most awesome and amazing counselor in the world. The rooms were cleaned and washed well. I recommend going to Catalina Island. There are awesome activities like snorkeling and rock climbing.

Are you kidding the councillors are so not so so they're amazing! I love camp! I can't wait to go back! So if I read about how CIMI is just okay I will scream at you through this site and smack some sense into you!

CIMI at Toyon is my life! I met so many friends there, including my best friends now. The classes are amazing and I learned so much, the food is delicious, and the counselors and instructors are amazing and hilarious. It's not just a summer camp, it's a home.

Cabins were unclean and there was mold on the mattresses. Some cabins didn't even have windows and they were covered in dust. Food was past expired, the bathrooms were dirty, and the equipment wasn't well clean.
