It was nice watching the kids play while bonding with other parents. And the food offered was delicious, buffet-style, and nutritious! Everything was really well thought out. The planned activities were fun and made the days go by fast. Also, the lodging was comfortable and the nature was beautiful. Worship was great. The topics covered were light and kid-appropriate. Highly recommend to any families considering it!

We had such high hopes for this summer camp and looked forward to it for over a month. Yes the…read moreexperience being on a farm was good for our kids but the owner, Stephanie was a nightmare. The way in which she spoke to my kids, her teenage staff members and me as a parent was absolutely appalling to say the least. Her attitude in person and via email was not professional AT ALL and I was disgusted by her behavior. I feel bad for her staff members who have to deal with that every day. I will not be recommending this camp to anyone and my kids will not be enrolling again. It's too bad it ended up this way, we spent a lot of money for my kids to be picked up crying everyday because of her.

We also visited with the animals- horses, bunnies, donkeys, goats, a cow and a pig, listened to live music, made big bubbles, did the bean bag toss and slid on the slide. One more weekend to see it all. Head to Corbett just east of Troutdale, 1001 Se Evans Rd. Corbett Or. 503-695-3316 Go enjoy!!!

I went last year as a camper and it was not fun. my counselors were gone almost every day and the…read moreother counselors had to sub in and take care of us. one of the counselors (I had 2 in my cabin) was super uptight and rude towards all the girls in my cabin. for example she yelled at my friend for leaving her bunk light on on accident. she was very unsupportive and the counselors seemed to care more about hanging out with each other than taking care of us. I didn't feel comfortable and happy in my cabin and was actually waiting to go home at the end. it says on the website that you can see your friends from other cabins and sit with them at mealtime, but I was barely allowed to go talk to them real quick then come back to my table. you can see them if you somehow tell them to come to the same daily activity as you. but the worst part was one rainy day we were playing bingo inside and I guess my counselors got bored because they were telling me a bunch of different times that certain squares had been called, so that I would get a failed bingo. I stood up and said bingo and obviously it wasn't valid so I just got humiliated while they sat there giggling. it was unnecessary and cruel and I definitely don't recommend this camp to anyone.

BULLYING AND ASSAULT AT CAMP…read more 1 star for activities and food Edit- after a review by the YMCA director in response to my complaint and this review below, they found that "no paperwork existed for this incident" which is very strange. Since then we have connected with the family of the boy who stepped in to help my son and they confirmed this incident. I am shocked that paperwork disappeared but frankly, not surprised... Is this really who you'd trust your child to? And it is pretty expensive as far as camps go... My 10 year-old son attended this camp and, on the way home, told us about his week. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to hear that he was repeatedly bullied by his cabin mates but also his counselor, "Nebula", who seemed to have it out for him. She refused to sign his memento on the last day, told him he couldn't participate in the talent show, berated him at mealtimes, and found fault in everything he did. My kid isn't perfect, but he's friendly, smart, empathetic, and makes friends easily. To make matters worse , he was also physically assaulted by another camper, punched in the face, and bitten in the leg. Another camper intervened (we have confirmation of events from this camper and his family!) and also got punched (This has now been verified by 3 campers!). The kid who assaulted them both didn't get sent home and no one contacted us to let us know of this but eventually, the counselor did intervene, apparently, so there is a record of this at the camp. I'm so frustrated that this was his first camp experience and immediately contacted the camp director, who is addressing this, but I feel that others should be warned. My son says the camp activities were great, but the people were just awful. This is a shocking review from a super positive child, and I feel bad that he spent a week in this toxic environment. If you are thinking you might want to send your child to YMCA Camp Collins, I'd seriously reconsider.

We encountered chickens and kittens which my daughter loved. On the ride we came across monarch butterflies, beautiful views and wild cherries. The terrain was rolling hill like with several picture worthy viewpoints. The paths were a mix of gravel and grass. Sarah was a fantastic and easy going hostess. Denny was a wonderful guide, very patient with my daughter and made sure she was comfortable by teaching her some basics and working in the barn before setting out on the trail. We will go back!

We took a tour (along with others who joined us) that was as informative as it was interesting. We saw some of the kennel areas, the outside runs, and a trainer or two who were working with recently returned dogs now learning to be guides for blind people. The staff and volunteers were knowledgeable and friendly, encouraging all of us to ask questions. It is a beautiful campus - clean, well-appointed, beautiful landscaping, and easily navigated by people with walkers and wheelchairs. Although we weren't there on graduation day, if you've never been to a Guide Dog graduation where the blind people "graduate" and get ready to go home with their new guide dogs, I encourage you to go. Graduations are held every few weeks on Saturdays and are free to attend. (I can't believe I didn't take more photos! I guess I was so enchanted with this facility that it completely skipped my mind.)

Sadly, not many others know what good work this little hideaway in Oregon does on a regular basis. This campus trains dogs from about 15 months old for the use and gaining of independence of visually impaired individuals FREE OF CHARGE. How cool is that? Just another reason why a donation to this organization would be welcomed and would go a long way. This is my second graduation ceremony at the Boring campus. It's a great little event and visitors are welcomed for this or a short tour. So, if you'd like to see some good work in action, go to a graduation ceremony, held the second and fourth Saturday of every month. It will really open up your eyes to what these little dogs can do.
