A parent shared that every day their son said camp was really fun and talked about the planned activities, interactions with counselors and other kids, and spontaneous activities, and noted the diversity of events as a big plus. Another parent described it as a truly unique camp experience where their kids learned the public transit system, map reading, and how to navigate around the city, explored destinations from Berkeley to San Francisco to San Jose, and commented that the counselors were enthusiastic and fun.
