★melissa penzaIf i could give one star I would. Literally the worse experience ordering from this place. Not only did I pay more money to have it delivered on time, i could never get a status, had to go out on Christmas Eve to find additional gifts. and now that i have to return those gifts, i have to make a label, pay for it, stand in line. the amount of time i have spent on this is absurd with zero help in any way from the company. you can find anything on this site from some place else and i highly recommend that.
★★★★★Kristen FordYoung Explorers has been a wonderful experience for my 6 year old son. We’ve been living in Boulder for 5 years and Amy and her staff are introducing him to new activities and adventures we didn’t know existed in the area. Even with so many closures and restrictions, they’ve successfully kept the kids active, entertained, and safe. The camp is well organized and the staff is very friendly and hardworking. Thank you, Amy!!
★★★★★Deanna Gabriel VierckMy son is having the BEST summer at Young Explorers! They are going on amazing outdoor adventures each week and having a blast hiking, biking, splashing in creeks, making art and learning new skills like frisbee golf, fishing and even panning for gold! My son is always excited to head out the door for camp and comes home excited to tell me about the days adventures. The staff are all extremely enthusiastic about creating enjoyable adventures for the kids and I know that they truly care about each child in the program. I couldn't recommend this camp more!
★★★★★Caitlin HardyBoulder Young Explorers is an excellent camp program! My 6 year old has attended for the entire summer thus far and adores all the adventures they go on. The staff is so friendly and the excursions they go on—be it Valmont bike park, gold panning, the zoo, hikes, fishing—are well coordinated and super fun! Highly recommend.
★★★★★L TAmy and her staff are wonderful! My daughter has had the most wonderful summer so far. The activities are always changing, well-planned and engaging. She comes home happy and worn out, but excited for what the next day has to offer. Their brand-new bus is state-of-the-art and very cool to get to and from their activities. Despite the stress and uncertainties of the new normal, one thing that is certain is my trust in YE, staff, and their adherence to the advertised policies.
