Powered by GoogleMy son has been going to Rising Treetops for more than 20 years at various times..sometimes it’s a scheduled week long program other times an emergency respite. The staff has been wonderful and the administrators accommodating to our needs. I have always felt that he was safe there and he has also been happy to go. As a parent that’s what counts the most. The staff also helps with the financial part so that it’s not unaffordable.
My son Adam, who is special needs and is on the spectrum has been attending Rising Treetop around eight years and he loves it. There are so many activities For him, he has longtime friends and he learns doing independent living skills. He also attends Their respite program once a year and again he loves it. He gets excited to meet his friends, and he comes back with so many enjoyable stories. Thank you, Rising Treetop for your amazing work with my son.
I would not recommend this camp. The staff is unprofessional. Never returns a phone call. They pick and choose who they want to except in their camps regardless of the needs of the child.
I have been to this place many years ago and had a fantastic time there this was because the people there are nice, friendly, kind and helpful. The activities that they had was painting, art and craft, cooking and others.
My daughter Ashley have attended the camp for some years now. She absolutely love going. She's always smiling when she's going and have a bigger smile when she comes back. She always has a great time when she goes. I am so grateful for the camp.
