Our 6-year-old attended one week of Wilderness Awareness Camp this summer. He had a delightful week. The counselors were kind, knowledgeable, and fun. Each day he was excited to share his discoveries and to describe the fun games he played. I attended the closing circle at the end of the week and I could see how much everyone enjoyed their time together. I would highly recommend this camp.
This program is great. I have two high-energy kids and it kept them engaged each day. The kids learn a lot of valuable skills but as far as they know, they are just having the time of their life. The camp my kids went to was near a forested area where they spent most of their time in the shade of the tree cover and visited and splashed in the lake, which was all really great because it has been very hot lately. The counselors are also very sensitive and sweet and seem to really get to know each kid.
I took their Introduction to Wildlife Tracking class, and thought it was wonderful. It was well tailored and helpful both to folks that were completely new to the outdoors, as well as to people like myself with some mild experience at track and sign identification. The instructors were all top-notch: helpful, encouraging and exceedingly knowledgeable. I'd strongly recommend it.
Do you know the sign of a great camp? The kids looking head-to-toe filthy, and grinning ear-to-ear.. yes folks, those were my kids this week, after attending their first ever wilderness camp. Oh were they so proud of themselves? They hiked, saw dinosaurs ?!, nature-pott-ied errr... but did they have a blast or what?! The camp counselors are attentive, give attention to each child, teach them cool tidbits along the way without making it a full-on PhD course, keeping the kids entertained and educated. Bonus - their daily jokes were just awesome! I'm signing my kids up every summer going forward!
It's really sad what happened to the school in recent years. They forced the bi weekly sweat lodge to move, because of fears of cultural appropriation. They charge way too much money for their programs, it's a non profit but Warren Moon the CEO brings home a huge return every year and lives beyond the humble means he portrays himself. They like to talk allot at WAS and share lots of idealism but they barely practice what they preach. And if you want to learn actual down to earth survival skills, go to a other school. Because they don't emphasize that anymore at WAS. It's mostly allot of talking and preaching false community. Allot of people I've known who were students in recent years regretted attending. Because of the high tuition and lack of substance and actual teaching offered.
Enrolled my 5 years kids for summer camp and asked not coming to school for the next day. The reason is that he failed to follow the instruction for 3 times so no school for him. Not sure if the school has any policy to support this reason even for knowing that my kids has ADHD and needs reminders. Has Email the summer program and got their following call. It did not answer my questions and mentioned this is a large group. If it is the reason, they should improve their camp quality. The summer camp can not just let the ADHD kids go home so that they manager large groups and only cares about business. Has refunded the tuition to end my conversation. But I was hoping to let me kid join school and have fun. Never hear a time ADHD kid has to go home just because of not having the ability to follow orders within 3 times. Never meet a school teacher make changes in his schedule without discuss and agreement with his legal guardian. They have their reasons to do this and I have the right to let the story out to help AHDH kids can have school to go. If they are kicked out, needs a policy and guardian agreement. We will protect them from biased treatment.
My son has attended Wilderness Awareness camps for multiple summers, both at the Seward Park and Cougar Mountain locations, and they are always his favorites. The experiences he has are the ones he still talks about when summer is over. This organization has mastered the formula of outdoor day camps: just the right balance of structured and unstructured activities, excellent games and activities to foster new friendships, well-planned interesting age-appropriate lessons about nature and outdoor skills, and instilling a sense of adventure, as well as respect for the earth. The camp counselors do a really outstanding job. We’re looking forward to joining them again next summer!
My 12-year-old son LOVED the overnight camp he went on and did not want to come home at the end of the week. He said that the experience was "indescribable" and one of the best of his life.
Hands down the best camp my kids attend every summer 11 year old girl and 9 year old boy. Outdoor activities where they learn about the environment they live in. They got in the car at the end of each day so excited about their hikes, the berries they ate, the plants they learned to avoid, the animal tracks they found, the games they played and the friendships they made. Our third summer attending Wilderness Awareness camp and they were so sad to have the week come to an end.
