Soliciting children in this manner is so insanely immoral. Many parents are reluctant to post images of their children online due to predators, which any child-centered program should understand. For this program to suggest they're not being paid while essentially forcing a trade of free modeling in exchange for an experience is, again, immoral.

Really disappointed with this camp. The description said that the kids would learn about Nevada…read morehistory and do activities like gold panning, lasso practice, campfire cooking, and other Wild West themed activities, but my son said none of that happened and he didn't learn anything about Nevada history at all. One of my biggest concerns was the handling of medications. My child takes medication twice a day, and it was apparently his responsibility to remind the counselors when it was time to take it. On more than one occasion, he had to wake his counselor up to let them know it was time for his medication. Had I not set alarms on his phone, he likely would have missed doses. When parents entrust a camp with their child's medication schedule, it should not fall on the child to make sure the adults are doing their job. The biggest issue was on the last day. The kids were told they couldn't go eat breakfast until they were finished packing. My son was the last in his group to finish packing. By the time he was done, all the food was gone because the other kids had already eaten and gone back for seconds and thirds. He eventually got a bag of chips and a piece of fruit after telling the counselors that he hadn't received any breakfast. No child should be left without a proper meal, especially when meals are supposed to be provided. On top of that, some of the counselors seemed disinterested in interacting with the kids, disorganized, and overwhelmed. From what my son described, the camp felt like a free-for-all with very little structure or direction. Overall, the camp did not deliver what was advertised, and we will not be returning. In my opinion, before offering any more overnight camps, the organization needs to provide better counselor training, improve supervision and medication management, and create a clear plan to ensure the activities listed in the camp description actually take place.

Stay Safe due to the Davis Fire…read more.. Quality/Quantity - Nice small visitor center. Educational, small gift shop, and has clean restrooms. Plenty of volunteers/team members. So many different trails. A very easy paved 0.4 mile loop hike, gravel path hikes, and of course, rough dirt hikes. Potential flooding, especially after a huge winter. Stay on the trails, as many paths have natural erosion. Stay safe. There used to be a fish hatchery here, see website. Not sure if it closed...? Also lots of wildlife; again, stay safe - Coyotes, bobcats, mule deer, black beers (we get this at the house also, LOL), mountain lions, rodents (too many to name), bats, birds, reptiles, etc. Atmosphere - Visitor center may be small, but they are packed full of information. Also cool decor, see pictures. There are also campsites, BBQ, picnic areas, volleyball courts, horse shoe, clean bathrooms, and plenty of parking (cars, RVs, buses, etc). There is even a stage in Eagle Meadows for events. Open 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm (hours are also seasonal, see website). Clean bathrooms throughout the different parking lots and camp sites. Horse trails and minimum bike trails, see picture. Visitor center; it was actually open today. Thank you volunteers. Last time we were here was during the winter; what a difference with the seasons. Service - Self-service today. Price - Free today. Owner Comment - Thank you Washoe County for another great park!

I think the novelty of experiencing something unique significantly improves ratings for most as…read moreit's far different than an escape room that almost everyone has already been to one or more times. So after the first game or two, I was envisioning a strong 5-star review. But after everything was said and done, I would feel, being very objective and unbiased, a 5.0 star would be a bit too high. More like 4.5 rounded up. Full disclosure we had 3 people which is the worst number as then you can't have two teams. But I'm disregarding that we had to play against a virtual house opponent. They actually let us play some games more than once so it had its upside too. There are 5 games based on the senses. I won't go farther as to not ruin the surprise. 3 were really fun, 1 was pretty fun, and 1 was mediocre although younger kids would like it (the balls). A couple games were more difficult than expected but still fun. The main thing that brings it down to a 4.5 for me, is the value. At $31 a person, we were done in about 50 minutes, about an hour including the orientation. Not the published 75 minutes. We felt like we wanted at least one more game to feel like it was worth the money or something far better than the quick ball game. I can see they priced it roughly around escape room prices. If you've never done it, feel $31/person is fair for an hour of entertainment, and have a group of 4-8, it's probably 5 stars. But the value would go down next visit as the uniqueness of a new experience is part of the entertainment. For us we felt dropping almost $100 on this was a tad pricey for 3 people so 4.5 stars. $25/person, would be 5.0 -stars. Staff is great. Realizing that our session might have been fast because we only had 1 team despite replaying a couple games twice, assuming a large group gets more play time and considering the two-team competition aspect, I'm rounding to a weak 5 stars. But definitely a 4-star for repeat visits.

She was very kind and had a lovely personality. She also gave us a courtesy call to ensure we located the center within the Grand Sierra Resort. What caught our eye was that we had to use one of our senses in each of the five challenges: smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing. The day before we had gone to an escape room and were looking for more similar experiences. Some of the challenges required the team to be split into teams while other challenges required the entire team to participate. Overall, it was a great time and I highly recommend to take a few family members and friends to enjoy the experience with. They also have a snack bar there and a dart room called the Dart Side next door.
