My kids thought this camp was a lot of fun! They came home happy and exited to share all of there adventures at camp! They mentioned they felt very safe with the counselors and had a deep sense of belonging. They count down the days until they are back at camp and still make references every single day! This camp also gave them so much confidence in themselves me to step out of there comfort zones.
My kids love this camp. They had a wonderful time with the overnight and loved the food even after hearing it was bad; they thought it was yummy. The counselors were amazing and took great care of the kids. They made sure they had plenty of water and that they were saying hydrated throughout the day as well. They made many friends that even after camp they keep in touch with. The hikes that they went on and activities were challenging in a good way, and very fun. Overall this camp was great and my kids had a great time! My children were in week 5 and really enjoyed everything about the camp, especially that they got beads anytime they did anything well. I think it was a good system to keep kids in check but also make sure they had loads of fun. Even after camp they still talk about it all the time!
Last year, my daughter fainted because they spend so much time without water and nobody checked that a little child did not refilled her water bottle. Nobody told us by the way, I found out this year when they were retelling the stories of what happened last year . This year other child stepped on a nail. Where do you even play where you can step on a nail? I know this camp has good history, and our kids, even seem to enjoy it, a lot, but the diversity hires that have been running the camp in the last couple of years, and the counselors, they just make the experience borderline unsafe. Here is the challenge – most things are really good and most people are really good, but the people and things that are bad, are really really bad making the whole experience really really bad
My son has attended multiple camps at KSS including Discovery, Expedition and now the Counselor Assistant Program. He has learned how to make new friends, wilderness and perseverance skills and how to be a patient leader. We are so grateful for his experiences at KSS and how they have helped shape him into a responsible young outdoorsman.
Our two kids (10 and 11 years old) just finished a one week Discovery camp. It was their first overnight camp experience. They loved it! There was lots of adventure including an overnight hike , white-water rafting and summiting a 13,000 foot peak. They made great friends and the loved the counselors. As parents we were taking a bit of a gamble coming from out of state but were immediately re-assured by the staff when we arrived and by the consistent updates (and pictures) about our kids while they were at camp.
