“I love that my kids come home from camp happy, dirty, tired and excited for the next day. The instructors are capable, fun, and knowledgeable. Mother Nature sent us a few curve balls this week and the Riekes team responded to the challenge and always put the kids first. The Riekes camp has far exceeded my expectations. See you next year!”
“You can feel the genuine passion for nature coming from the instructors. Everyday my boys put their busy hands to work-making something that would be used in ancient times. The group takes short hikes to the cool creek, exploring. Always engaged.”
“My daughters loved every minute of this camp! They thought whittling was fascinating, had a blast trying to sneak quietly through the woods, were trying to figure out how to make a fishing hook and rod to try to catch a fish in the creek…they can't stop talking about it every night, and are eager to go back every morning. This is our second year of Riekes nature camps, and it’s just as big a hit as the first time. Many thumbs up to Riekes nature camps!”
“Fantastic outdoor location in the foothills. My boys loved the counselors and the activities they did. They especially liked exploring the creekbed. It’s also nice that it's a small camp with 20 kids, and the planning is well thought out.”
“I’ve never been so impressed with a camp, quite frankly. Extremely thought through. Organized. Everyone was kind and you could tell they loved nature.”
“This was a “real” outdoor experience for my son and he learned practical skills”
“Loved the open nature and open ended activities, Friendly and flexible crew of counselors.”
“Small class size with creative and kind counselors.”
"My child loved the camp overall and really digging into the music intensively.”
“The instructor was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. He made the effort to get to know everyone well, and was genuinely excited to share the camp experience with the parents.”
