★★★★★Kyle WoodwardAbsolutely amazing experience for our two kids, 5 and 9. They came home every day tired, dirty, and grinning ear-to-ear. I've had my older one take me on a nature walk around Golden Gate Park and teach me about plants I never noticed, and I've received a lecture from my younger one on the finer points of polymers. We asked the kids where they want to go to camp next summer, and Tree Frog was at the top! (also, snakes!)
★Allanah GarciaParents of Autistic children beware. Take your kids somewhere they will be accepted and safe. Not a place for your child if you’re not ok with discrimination. I was incredibly traumatized and disappointed in the lack of care and professionalism that every single person on staff demonstrated while my son was in camp. I cannot imagine what my 4 yr old kid felt while he was there. He didn’t even last a full session block. My child is not a high support needs child, yet the Campers, site manager and OWNER were all dismissive and unwilling to ensure my son was properly accommodated.. I spoke several times to the lead campers on how to redirect him when needed and we were made to feel excluded and under valued. In fact when I spoke to the owner he was extremely defensive and gaslit me the entire time while on the phone and told me I should take him to another camp for special needs, told me I should be GRATEFUL for him bc they have me a scholarship…. Even though it wasn’t a full ride, and had absolutely nothing to do with the situation. They claim they have experience with “Neurodivergent children” when they didnt do a damn thing to accommodate him. They told us my son couldn’t come back after we literally spoke about a game plan for how they would accommodate him and didn’t even try. Your child is safer in other people’s care, such a shame and a total disgrace of a camp.
★★★★★bridget cinquegranoThis camp is the absolute best camp ever and they have such nice counselors and their director Mr science is the nicest guy ever 🐸🐢🐍🌲🌞
★★★★★Andrew StockAll stars! Tree Frog started in a garage 20 years ago as a small animal rescue service. They take in most any little critter like snakes frogs and lizards. The school kids started to come and check it all out. Now it runs summer camps and are very popular with parents and teachers.
★★★★★Michael KwunIf your kid loves the outdoors and learning about nature, Tree Frog Treks is a great option.
