★★★★★Krista-Lynn GreffMy 7-year-old daughter has gone to RAD Camp for two summers and absolutely loves it! She comes home every day dirty, full of smiles, stories, and songs. The counselors are so fun and caring, and she always feels safe, included, and excited to try new things. It’s the perfect mix of fun, friends, and adventure. She can’t wait to go back next summer!
★★★★★Debbie LaittaOur 12 year old daughter absolutely loves RAD Camp! She attended a couple of day camps at 10yo, and it is the one camp she begs to do each summer. She loves the adventure, the free-play, and the just-right-challenge to get out of her comfort zone in the outdoors. Did the over night tent camp this summer and has recruited friends for next summer. Chance and the other counselors are great, with quick follow-up to questions. 10/10 recommend.
★★★★★Whitney Horton DerksenWe absolutely loved RAD camps! We were visiting from south Florida and our three boys joined both the sprouts and the other two did the 7-17 adventures! They all had a ball - very well organized
★★★★★Shannon LeeverOur 7 yr old has now completed 2 all-day outings (8a-4p) with RAD Camps to two different lakes this summer break, and we couldn’t be happier with the overall experience. Well-organized and extremely friendly & supportive staff. While not inexpensive, these outings are an incredible value considering the great staff to child ratio, and full day of transport and monitored outdoor recreation.
★★★★★LedaOur kids have so much fun at RAD Camps! I appreciate that we can sign them up for individual days, which allows for flexible scheduling in the summer. The staff are great and I'm always envious of their adventure destinations. I want to go to RAD Camp too!
