What families say

“My kids all LOVED Wildfolk. The counselors were fabulous and the activities were great. Each of my kids came home at the end of each day (and the end of the summer) raving about what they had done. It has a small, homey feel and the kids really feel like they have ownership over the activities and it is truly focused on them and their needs. I highly recommend it.” — Lisa K.

“I just wanted to say I really really appreciate everything you’re doing to keep the kids safe, we’re so grateful that you’re taking covid so seriously, it’s given us the confidence to keep the boys in camp, and they’re having such a great time.” — Karen H.

“I was a little nervous cause they aren’t always the easiest with transitions, but they absolutely loved it from the first day!! The counselors were so engaging and warm, and every day they were so excited to share all the fun things they’d done that day. Totally takes away all my guilt about working during the holidays this year!” — Laura S.
