*Wild Rivers Camp was such an awesome experience for our kids this summer! They came home every day with the biggest smiles and stories about water games, rescue challenges, and park fun. The staff is super friendly and made them feel so welcome from day one. The extended care option was a huge help for us, too. We loved how easy it was to sign up on their updated site—everything felt so fun and colorful, just like the camp itself. Can’t wait to send them back next year!
*"Our kids can’t stop talking about it!"
This camp is the BEST! My kiddo had the time of their life making new friends, playing games, and learning new skills. The activities were exciting, and they especially loved the water volleyball and Dip n’ Dots treats during extended care! The camp staff is amazing—so patient and fun. Everything about this camp just feels like summer joy. We’ll be signing up for 2025 for sure.
Such a fun and memorable summer!
We’re so glad we chose Wild Rivers Camp this year! From kickball games to water fun and even character-building activities, my kid had a blast. The staff was incredible—so kind and energetic.

*I can’t say enough good things about Wild Rivers Camp! My son had been nervous about going, but from the very first day, he came home full of excitement. He loved the water games, playing kickball, and hanging out with the awesome counselors. It was clear they genuinely care about each kid. As a parent, it was such a relief knowing he was safe, happy, and making friends. The extended care was a lifesaver for our work schedule, and the Dip n’ Dots treats were a fun bonus! We’re already counting down to next year.
*"A summer we’ll never forget!"
*Wild Rivers Camp was exactly what we needed this summer! My son came home tired (in the best way) every day, which meant evenings were super easy for us. He couldn’t stop talking about the rescue games and park time. I also loved how organized everything was—from the friendly staff to the clear communication about daily activities. I’ve already told all my friends about it, and we’ll definitely be signing up again next year!
*"So much fun for the kids AND parents!"
*This camp was such a gift. My daughter had a blast with all the fun activities like water games and playing in the water park, but also learning the Junior Lifeguard skills. I love that they focus on life skills like learning basic First Aid, CPR, and how to use a rescue tube. Plus, the counselors were amazing!
