Our daughter came home every day glowing. She went from being scared of bugs to catching frogs. The counselors are incredible — patient, engaged, and genuinely caring. Already registered for next summer.

Best camp in Austin, hands down. My son has been going for 3 years and asks about it all winter. The creek activities are the highlight — there's nothing else like it in the city.

Parent · Attended Summer 2024

Great camp with wonderful staff. Only reason for 4 stars is pickup can be a bit chaotic on Fridays. Otherwise, couldn't recommend more highly — the outdoor programming is second to none.
