Our kids attended the Wilderness Survival Craft Day Camp at Wolf Camp this summer and had an…read moreamazing experience. They came home excited each day, sharing what they learned, from edible plants to fire safety and survival skills. The camp makes learning hands-on, engaging, and fun. The staff and founder were friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about creating a positive environment. We're so glad we found Wolf Camp, and our kids are already asking to return. Highly recommend for a unique outdoor camp experience.

Carillon Woods was a bit of an odd park in that half of it is developed (a play area, climbing…read morerock, and a paved walkway) and half of it is undeveloped (straight nature and narrow paths). Midday on a very sunny afternoon, Carillon was totally deserted, which we found strange when we happened upon the play area. The park overall did not seem well designed or bright and as we passed the structures they gave off a bit of a gloomy air. Unfortunately, unlike our experiences in Seattle, we found the parks in Bellevue to consistently lack seating and be poorly maintained. Carillon Woods was hands down the nicest park and easily offered the most amenities, so we appreciated that even though it could have used an editors eye to draw more people in, it did bring something to the neighborhood and the community it was in (unlike Watershed). Overall, if you're in the area and looking for a child friendly hiking park I'd recommend either Carillon Woods or Moorpark, and to avoid Bridle Trails.

After a few years of happy learning alongside great friends in a nurturing environment and we sent our daughter off to Kindergarten with a full heart and a thirst for learning. April's Play School was a very peaceful place filled with laughter and respectful friends. A couple years following her final Pre K class, she decided to bring the same fun curriculum to an outdoor summer camp and invite older kids to join along as participants or even junior counselors. Our youngest joined in for a week of camp along with her cousins. They had an amazing time. It's so fun to know that the kids are just being kids (with supervision), in nature, making up games and stories, building forts or even doing a structured project like washing berries and making jam. They took hikes and collected bugs. They did kid stuff and got dirty and maybe a little sweaty and they just had a blast. I was thrilled to hear that Camp Roots was gearing up for a 6 week run this summer. I immediately signed my little one up for 3 weeks and my Freshman aged son up to participate in the volunteering program. I'm expecting the same old thing as last time: slightly dirty, extremely happy & tired kids, competing with each other to over share their accomplishments of the day with me over dinner. It's soul filling to drop the hyper academic stuff for a few weeks and watch the kids truly enjoy (fairly) unstructured summer play. Go Camp Roots!!!

From that first camp experience, we quickly signed up for lessons for her, myself, and my husband. Today, we happily board two horses and a donkey at the farm. Holly Farm truly cares about its animals and its people, and that shows in everything they do. The camps are a kid's dream--hands-on, fun, and thoughtfully run--and the events are creative and memorable (I made a clay mini of my horse!). Camps tend to fill quickly, so be sure to visit their website and get on the mailing list. Holly Farm is a special place that genuinely spreads the joy of working with animals.

My daughter went to the Alderwood Boys and Girls for summer camp this year. I chose this based on…read morethe weekly cost, flexibility in cancellation, and location. Due to the lack of recent reviews, I didn't know what to expect. Overall, my daughter had a great experience! They were a little less structured than other summer camps (in activities) but she was still happy and I liked how flexible pickup and drop off times were (as long as we did not go over 10 hours). It worked well for both parent's schedule. Unfortunately, they couldn't offer any field trips this summer (at least when my daughter went from mid-July to mid-August). Would recommend.

You could go with the mega-sized outfit that probably gets more hits on Google, but I've dealt with those companies.

My husband and I were debating where we were going to hold our daughter's 5th birthday party when…read morewe came across Tanya's review of her birthday party experience (see her yelp review below) and we were sold!!!! We booked the Big Birthday Blowout and it was AMAZING!!! Upon arrival, we were given a cart to wheel in whatever food we brought (it is a peanut-free facility, which we appreciate as our child has peanut allergies). The facility provides cups, napkins, cutlery and has cake cutting materials. You can also request they provide pitchers and cups of water) Their staff takes care of both the lab set up as well as the food set up (you bring the food, they set up). *Note - if you have smaller kids, they have a play area that smaller kids can play in with Magnatiles and blocks. We got 1 hour of time in the lab (we chose the slime theme) where the staff did an amazing job captivating and maintaining the attention of all of the kids at the party! The kids each get to wear a lab coat and lab googles which make for super cute pictures. After the Lab session, the staff lead the kids to the bathrooms to wash hands, and sat them down to eat. The staff then donned gloves and helped distribute the food as well as handling the cake cutting when it was time to cut the cake. They literally did EVERYTHING!!!! (The one thing I wished I had done was also ask the staff to set some plates and cutlery outside of the eating area so that parents can eat as well. I was able to move some of the food, plates, and cutlery out to make it more accessible to parents, but wished I had planned it better so that I was not on the staff's way when they were feeding the kids.) After everyone has eaten and gotten cake, the staff then distributed goodie bags (made by them and included in the cost of the party) to all the kids. It was an amazingly well-run machine. They also helped to load the cart of stuff to bring back to the car! We didn't have to clean up, they do it all!!!! Shout out to Mr. Sampson who lead the birthday party from Lab, to hand washing, to handing out gift bags. He was absolutely amazing! I describe him as the "Pied Piper of Science," because he had all the kids just enthralled with everything he did! He is super animated, super engaged - myself and many of the parents there were blown away by this man's energy and his ability to captivate and hold the attention of an audience of 3-5 year olds! We had a great experience, and I know the kids and other parents did as well! I highly recommend doing birthday parties there!
