★★★★★Cara CannonCamp Wild Heart is a fun, magical, supportive environment for kids and families from all walks of life! We are incredibly thankful to be a part of their camp and give them our highest recommendation for anyone looking for a great time for their kids over the summer!
★★★★★Heather VWe’ve sent our daughter to Thrive’s Camp Wildheart every summer for the past 4 years, and it’s honestly one of the best things we do all year. It’s not just a camp — it’s a place where kids create, explore, get messy, laugh hard, and learn without even realizing it. The STEAM-based activities are so creative and fun, and there’s always something new to spark curiosity. Between the science projects, art, outdoor play, and awesome water days, it’s the perfect mix of learning and summer fun. The staff is so kind and welcoming — they really make every child feel seen and valued. Every day our daughter comes home excited to tell us about what she built or discovered, and we love that she’s not just having fun, but growing too. If you’re on the fence, just do it — Camp Wildheart has been such a gift to our family.
