Jenny L04/22/20215They've gone every year (except for the summer of 2020 due to the epidemic), and they love it. Friends who enrolled their children afterwards thanked us for exposing them to this fantastic camp. The kids spend their days in nature, hiking, studying, creating beautiful art, laughing, making friends...my husband and I joke that we wish we could go to Camp Wildcraft! Another aspect of the camp that I enjoy is that children of different ages spend time together, which allows my children, who are three years apart, to spend time together. My kid is really pleased to participate in the middle school junior guide leadership program this summer. Thank you, Benny and Shari; your camp is really valuable to us.
Gladez M06/12/20215My 7-year-old daughter had a fantastic time at Camp Wildcraft. She attended the 2021 summer session and enjoyed every minute of it, especially the morning walks, exploring in the Santa Monica/Malibu Mountains, learning about the local creatures, and most of all, the lovely community. This should not have come as a surprise given that the program's creators and co-founders, Shari Davis and Benny Ferdman, were available for inquiries and dialogue prior to enrolling for the camp. On the first day, the camp guides/councilors made every child feel welcome and unique. They clearly like dealing with children and are enthusiastic about spreading their love of nature. Every afternoon, I'd pick up a really cheerful child who was eager to tell me amazing things about her life.
Hazel N05/10/20225Since 2016, our kid has attended Camp Wildcraft every summer. Other camps come and go, but we always make time for Wildcraft. After a day in nature, children are exhausted, dirty, and overjoyed. Our child has attended King Gillette, Sycamore School, the beginning and end of summer, regular and pandemic periods, and has always had a wonderful and safe experience. He doesn't consider himself an artist (he prefers the outdoors side of camp), but he adores what he refers to as "camp wildcraft art." Order one of their art boxes for yourself to get a feel for the approach. Prompts for creativity, meaningful guidance, enjoyment, and great quality
