The girls were involved with getting their horses ready to ride, including scrapping the dirt from out of their hooves. It was clear that the staff were teaching little girls how to be around the animals, how to care for them and how to respect them. The instructions were simple and clear; the number of staff in the ring to provide any necessary attention was amazing. The look on the faces of the little girls was priceless!

They have a safe and secure process in the morning for entering camp outside the facility. What really sets this apart is the variety of activities they have for kids of all ages. Never, ever, have my kids actually been exciting about going to "daycare" until we brought them here. The only disappointing feature is that they currently close in the winter. We will definitely bring them back once they reopen. So glad we found this place!

We rented Base Camp for an over night lock in for a high school girls basketball program's team…read morebonding event. Setting it all up was so easy! They were quick and responsive and everything was all planned via email which made things so convenient! They were straightforward about what to bring for the lock in. The night of, the girls had fun! Lots of space to run and around and be teenagers. All the girls had games the next day, so they came in and all said something about the temperature, some were too hot and some were too cold. One common thing was if they just had blankets on the floor, they were cold. The other minor thing that could be improved - online waivers. I had to manage all the parent waivers. Overall, a great experience! When we went there was only rock climbing and archery available - that said they got their fill of those activities, so we probably would not do it again next year.

On Friday there is a parent tour hour that is hosted from 2-3.

My recommendation is to send kids with a GPS watch if they are attending this camp. My daughter loved it despite not making any friends in this camp.

I knew my 10 year old would really like it, but I was surprised how much our eight year old liked it. I asked him he would like to go again, he said absolutely. They made soap, made and painted sculptures, worked with clay, water colors, drawings and collages, paper flowers, woven llamas and even had a llama visit and had ice cream at the neighboring parlor. I asked what our son would like others to know, and he said: you may not make what I made, but you'll get to do something awesome. Mrs Ross knows how to run a classroom too. I HIGHLY recommend art camps and sessions with Mrs Ross.
