Our guide, Kiera, was fantastic -- knowledgeable, relaxed, encouraging, and clearly wonderful with both people and horses. The scenery was breathtaking, and the ride felt like a real adventure rather than just following a trail in a line. We crossed a beautiful river twice, rode through gorgeous mountain terrain, and truly got to experience the landscape. My horse, Buckwheat, was such a character and made the ride even more fun. We especially appreciated that the ride felt personal, peaceful, and authentic. You can tell the horses are well cared for and that the guides genuinely love what they do. Highly, highly recommend this experience if you're looking for a scenic and memorable ride in the Truckee/Tahoe area!

Our daughter had the most wonderful experience at Farm and Pony camp. It was a perfect blend of…read morespecial time with the farm animals (holding baby bunnies! walking goats!), learning to care for the animals (branding manes and tails, picking horseshoes, touring the stables), crafts, and pony rides. And I was blown away by the pony show on Friday morning! The counselors were so caring and great with the kids and 4-H values and true equestrian skills are evident in all the kids learn in a short 5 days. I cannot say enough what a gem this place is. Only one exit down the road from downtown Truckee but a world away and we could pick her up at lunch and still have a family afternoon together. We felt so lucky that we found out about this camp. We will definitely be back!

I did things that I never thought I'd ever get to do, waterskiing for one. I learned to ride a horsey and camp out at some amazing locations with scenery that would reset your soul for enlightenment.

The teachers here are amazing! My middle schooler even had a teacher from his old public school, which was super helpful since he planed to go back to public high school later. This kept him on track (and even ahead) with what he needed to know. Something that I love is that the kids are outside ALL THE TIME! They have class outside, eat lunch outside, and do pretty much everything outside unless the weather is really bad. In summer, they sit under shady trees with nice breezes. In winter, they bundle up with jackets and blankets near space heaters. It reminds me of how European kids spend way more time outdoors instead of being stuck inside all day. My kids have learned tons and made great friends here. If you've read the book "Wild and Free," this school follows that idea perfectly. Kids learn, play, and grow at their own speed. Even if your kids go to regular school, Wild Roots has awesome summer camps that cost less than a babysitter! The kids learn cool stuff while having fun outside. I tell everyone looking for homeschool help around Folsom to check out Wild Roots. It's been such a great place for my family!

Really disappointed with this camp. The description said that the kids would learn about Nevada…read morehistory and do activities like gold panning, lasso practice, campfire cooking, and other Wild West themed activities, but my son said none of that happened and he didn't learn anything about Nevada history at all. One of my biggest concerns was the handling of medications. My child takes medication twice a day, and it was apparently his responsibility to remind the counselors when it was time to take it. On more than one occasion, he had to wake his counselor up to let them know it was time for his medication. Had I not set alarms on his phone, he likely would have missed doses. When parents entrust a camp with their child's medication schedule, it should not fall on the child to make sure the adults are doing their job. The biggest issue was on the last day. The kids were told they couldn't go eat breakfast until they were finished packing. My son was the last in his group to finish packing. By the time he was done, all the food was gone because the other kids had already eaten and gone back for seconds and thirds. He eventually got a bag of chips and a piece of fruit after telling the counselors that he hadn't received any breakfast. No child should be left without a proper meal, especially when meals are supposed to be provided. On top of that, some of the counselors seemed disinterested in interacting with the kids, disorganized, and overwhelmed. From what my son described, the camp felt like a free-for-all with very little structure or direction. Overall, the camp did not deliver what was advertised, and we will not be returning. In my opinion, before offering any more overnight camps, the organization needs to provide better counselor training, improve supervision and medication management, and create a clear plan to ensure the activities listed in the camp description actually take place.

Stay Safe due to the Davis Fire…read more.. Quality/Quantity - Nice small visitor center. Educational, small gift shop, and has clean restrooms. Plenty of volunteers/team members. So many different trails. A very easy paved 0.4 mile loop hike, gravel path hikes, and of course, rough dirt hikes. Potential flooding, especially after a huge winter. Stay on the trails, as many paths have natural erosion. Stay safe. There used to be a fish hatchery here, see website. Not sure if it closed...? Also lots of wildlife; again, stay safe - Coyotes, bobcats, mule deer, black beers (we get this at the house also, LOL), mountain lions, rodents (too many to name), bats, birds, reptiles, etc. Atmosphere - Visitor center may be small, but they are packed full of information. Also cool decor, see pictures. There are also campsites, BBQ, picnic areas, volleyball courts, horse shoe, clean bathrooms, and plenty of parking (cars, RVs, buses, etc). There is even a stage in Eagle Meadows for events. Open 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm (hours are also seasonal, see website). Clean bathrooms throughout the different parking lots and camp sites. Horse trails and minimum bike trails, see picture. Visitor center; it was actually open today. Thank you volunteers. Last time we were here was during the winter; what a difference with the seasons. Service - Self-service today. Price - Free today. Owner Comment - Thank you Washoe County for another great park!

Soliciting children in this manner is so insanely immoral. Many parents are reluctant to post images of their children online due to predators, which any child-centered program should understand.
