★★★Uzzjol MollaA testament to great [food/service].
★★★★★Nikol TownsendWe love Tumbleweed Day Camp! The staff are amazing and truly care about the kids. This camp helped my child come out of his shell and become more confident and outgoing, which has meant so much to us. We also hosted a party there, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. Everything was fun, well-organized, and memorable. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!
★★★★★Kristina D'AngeloTumbleweed Day Camp is simply the best! Both of my kids absolutely love it, but I have to highlight how much it has meant for my son. He has grown so much in confidence and independence thanks to the amazing staff and supportive environment. He comes home happy every single day and says this is his favorite summer camp ever! We’re so grateful for the experiences, friendships, and memories Tumbleweed has given our family.
★Casey BullI was really hopeful about Tumbleweed Day Camp, but my experience trying to cancel has been frustrating and disappointing. We had to move out of the area and I notified the camp as soon as possible, asking to cancel and requesting a refund. I was told they don’t offer refunds unless someone from the waitlist takes the spot—which would be fair if they actually tried. Despite multiple email follow-ups over several weeks and being extremely patient, no real effort was made on their end. I personally know someone on the waitlist for our session who never received a call or update. If the policy is dependent on the spot being filled, then it’s the camp’s responsibility to at least try to fill it. Parents—if you’re considering this camp, just know that if anything changes, you’ll be stuck. No flexibility, no proactive communication, and no accountability in their own process. And if you’re on the waitlist, don’t just wait for a call—because they may never make one. Be ready to chase them down. Really disappointed in how this was handled.
★★★★★John MachtingerTumbleweed is a magical place for a child. I went there as a child, and now our daughter has been a Tumbleweed camper every summer for seven years. The counselors, staff, and owners are caring, responsible, and great with children. They have a wonderful horse riding program that takes place after camp hours, as well ("Twilight Riding").
