Mountain Kids continues to set the standard for outdoor day camps for kids. It has to be one of the best in the country. The variety of outdoor venues that our kid is exposed to, the tough and active play that they are allowed/expected to do, the real training to outdoor hiking — I feel as if Mountain Kids is providing tools to a lifestyle, a lifestyle that is centered on environmental protection and the importance of physical engagement, not just a ‘day camp.’

We noticed that our daughter was constantly engaged with other kids. The staff did a great job of using objects from nature to keep the kids happy, active and involved. From our observations, the activities and games used to engage the kids were creative and fun. We appreciated the fact that she was able to get wet and dirty on a daily basis!!

I just wanted to say thank you for providing such a holistic, kind, and trusting camp for kids. My son is really high energy and we’re often worried about bringing him to new spaces and places if we aren’t sure about their willingness to meet him where he is emotionally. It means a lot to us to have an outdoors experience for him that lets him be who he needs to be while still challenging him to try harder, be responsible for his actions, and to love the outdoors.

So, thank you again!
