Add in fun learning opportunities--like street art and cooking and trapeze and rock band... Plus extra outdoor adventure--ropes course, ATVs, lake water sports... And make it fully supervised with qualified counselors and coaches, lifeguards, excellent wellness protocols, and a fabulous camper to staff ratio so parents feel it's safe... And that's Pali. 5 Stars and then some!

He gained the courage to try things that scared him, like the zipline, and was able to overcome his fears. He said he went on two more times after. He was able to get over his social anxiety and made several new friends. He was soo excited to see us and tell us all about his adventures when we picked him up he started spilling his stories before we even got back into the car. I found this place years ago and was too afraid to send him off by himself. It was best thing I could have done for him this summer. I want to kick myself for not sending him 5 years ago when I first found them. If you are considering it but are apprehensive about letting your child go, I will suggest for you to get over it. Your child will thank you. He definitely will be back next year

Anyway when we got there, there are cabins with bump beds. It s the size of twin. I disinfect and OmG IT WAS DIRTY!! The beds are plastic type of cover there are not normal mattresses. Inside the cabin you will think it nice and clean but no it is not. Is like a hotel when they only clean where their in laws sees. That is nasty. The meals comes with the package and the meals are good the staff are nice. Overall experience it was nice and you should try it one time. Do I recommend here? I hope that cleaning the cabins the places also the chairs as well. but really cleaning them like clean the bump beds inside and out, the windows fixing them have good air central and clean the carpet not only vacuum it but also sanitize it as well. I'm saying before someone comes in and takes over. Not cleaning it only the surface and let someone else take over. The showers really deep clean them and sanitize them. Toilet bowls where clean. If they fix all that it will be recommended constantly. Up to you if you want to stay here with your group for few days. It was fun I don't like camping but coming with our group it was fun and worth it.

This did not happen. My daughter said the other school "ate all the food" and her school was left with undercooked rice, slivers of french toast, no juice for their table, and were told by Koda to fetch their own water. These other schools were able to get seconds whereas her school was denied this same privilege. There wasn't enough silverware, cups were wet leaving kids wondering if they used cups or wet from being freshly washed. A counselor told them "smell it, if it doesn't stink you can use it." In addition, male camp counselors frequently cut the line in front of the kids, ensuring that THEY ate before the children did. My child also stated that the previous school left a huge mess on their tables in which they had to clean up. I didn't pay hundreds of dollars for my child to go hungry during blistering conditions. In speaking with multiple chaperones that I am friends with, they all spoke the same thing: that food was awful and lacking. Frankly speaking, what kind of program are you running where safety standards aren't met, food isn't prepared properly, counselors are putting themselves first before the children, and children are left starting their day hungry? How could so many things go wrong with a well-established camp program that has been in business for many years? Is this the standard you wish to uphold?

My child attended Outdoor Ed in February 2026. We were nervous but excited for her to have new…read moreexperiences and some independence. She came home absolutely raving about the amazing time she had and how much fun it was! She spoke so highly of her counselors, Natalie and Esmie, and said they were incredibly kind and supportive. It really made a difference in her overall experience. A couple of minor downsides: she mentioned the "Yapatorium" (the sanctuary) had a lot of talking (I'm sure it was educational). Also, one of the bathrooms either didn't have a working lock or the lock was broken, so the girls had to share another bathroom or have someone stand outside for privacy. Food-wise, there were no issues, but my daughter didn't love most of the meals. She said the pizza was the best and the tacos were her least favorite. However, when I spoke with some of her cabin mates, they said the food was good -- so this may just come down to personal preference (she can be a bit picky!). The registration portal was very easy to use, and the website was up to date and helpful throughout the process. Overall, she had a wonderful experience and came home with great memories.

I, too, was genuinely concerned because--for some reason--the reviews for this place seemed negative; however, it turned out that all the children were absolutely delighted. Their teacher sent us photos--the very ones I've included in this review--and the food was very wholesome, delicious, and fresh. The children were allotted four minutes each for showers; however, I don't view this as a negative thing, as there really are a lot of children, and you simply can't allocate a vast amount of time to each individual without causing long delays for everyone else. The kids didn't even have a chance to get bored. My daughter usually spends her days at home glued to her phone or the TV, and she's not easily impressed--yet she really loved this camp.

BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!…read more My husband and I dreamed of a wedding where everyone could stay together onsite, immersed in nature, with no worries about driving after a night of fun, and Camp Osito Rancho made that dream a reality. Our families stayed in the health center, lodge, and electrified cabins, while our friends embraced the adventure of summer cabins and tents. The venue offers so many stunning spaces, from the spacious dining hall for meals to the stage/amphitheater with fire pits--perfect for s'mores and late-night stories. We exchanged vows at the top of a hill near the outdoor pavilion, with a gorgeous backdrop of pine trees and a view of Big Bear Lake in the distance. We were able to offer our guests camp activities like archery and a pool day, as well as had room to setup other activities like craft tables and lawn games. The biggest perk was the complete freedom to choose our own vendors, allowing us to create a truly personalized experience (huge shoutout to Scratch Kitchen for catering--our guests still rave about the food). We spent a year making signs, collecting décor, buying solar lights, and crafting to transform this Girl Scout camp into a full-blown wedding festival. If you're up for planning the details, this venue is the ultimate blank canvas. Last but not least, the Camp Osito Rancho team is absolutely amazing. A huge thanks to Angel for her help throughout the year, Ryan for his help throughout the weekend, and to Gerardo for the tour that sold us from the start. For a wedding that feels like an unforgettable getaway, this place is pure magic
