I sent my children to Camp Echo and Sequoia which was nearby. This camp was far superior!!! We loved the fact that they had the 1 month option.

My daughter has been going here for about a year and is in the same room where the accusations from…read morethe other user came from. At no point have we been concerned about her well being. The staff is amazingly attentive and is always willing to listen to any concerns we may have. Coming from the mental health field, Children's Safe Stay provides an emotionally intelligent and safe environment for children to not only play but learn as well. Their staff treats these children as their own and ALL interactions I have had with all of them have been nothing but pleasant. We pick our child up every day happy and she is never afraid to go with the teachers upon drop off. We interviewed many other daycares and we are so glad we chose this one.

Well, I suppose I am bias because having worked there I understand they treat their employees pretty poorly. Overworked and underpaid may sound cliched, but it just fits here. Rather than simply let the staff take off after the kids left on a Friday, they had us work meaningless tasks to "get our hours in" despite the fact we already worked 10+ hour days the rest of the week. Gee thanks a lot for caring. If you're sending your kids here or looking to stay as a conference group, it's a pretty decent place. But know that despite what their employees may tell you, they don't like working there. Proof is in the high turn over of staff. I'm sure it's a decent place to visit, but there are many other and better places to work in the field of Environmental Education if that's your thing

There was swimming, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, karaoke, arts/crafts, yoga , boot camp etc. (when the camp is run for children in the summer they also have archery, horseback riding, zip line, high ropes course, etc) The only thing that could have been a little better were the bathrooms (a little TLC,paint and bleach would be great). The food is typical cafeteria style and selection.

My family has visited the Country Ark Farm a couple of times over the past 2 years when they opened…read morethe entire farm to the public for "Open Farm Days". These were fantastic opportunities to interact with all of their animals, have a picnic, and basically enjoy the day with my children. So, not surprisingly, my daughter volunteered to help at some of their events (the farm is used to help those with developmental disabilities) and ultimately decided to have her 14th Birthday Party there on 8/2/15. This was, in my daughter's words, the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!! First, they have over 100 animals there ranging from camels to baby porcupines to monkeys. I don't know if it's because of their summer camp or the constant attention but the animals were all super sweet with the children. The kids fed them, picked them up, and I even fed a cracker to a camel with my mouth and got a kiss (highly recommend that). All this activity occurred around a central covered patio where the food and cake was served. They had storage for my party supplies, a fridge for the cake, and even supplied extra plates and extension cords that I had forgotten. But the absolutely best part our party at Country Ark Farm was the family that runs it. The owners themselves basically gave us free rein of the farm and provided two extremely sweet and knowledgeable young women to run the party, take care of our every need, and take us on a tour of the farm. These 2 ladies were incredible. They kept the party moving and anytime there was a lull, such as when some kids were done eating but others were still going at it, they would pull out some activity (face painting, bracelet making, water balloon fight) to keep the kids occupied. This was literally a stress free party. I would like to especially thank Rebecca for making the day such a success. She demonstrated both poise and grace in the face of over 20 kids, a family that came 45 minutes early, and an uninvited german shepherd one guest brought. You're the best!!!
