There's just so many things to say that are wonderful about this gem. We were told at the visitor…read morecenter that it is the second largest visited refuge in North America. The bison are truly breathtaking. If you get the chance to see them sit and watch for a while. We were able to do some hiking and picnic. There's also camping and fishing and boating, but we didn't do any of that on this trip. We picked up lots of pamphlets at the visitor center, so we can come back again and try again. They have lots of help at the visitor center and are glad to answer questions. They also have a great little gift shop if you want to pick up a treasure or a Momento for your visit. We took the time to take the scenic drive up to the top of Mount Scott walked around, took lots of photos. We met people from all over the world up there. It was pretty amazing. I can't wait to go back and do some more hiking. We did stop on the side of the road to look at the Longhorn cattle. There are some of the original stock from back on the turn-of-the-century or release from the bloodline it's pretty neat all these things that you can do while you're here visiting I highly recommend it. It's a great adventure not just for families but just solo if you wanna get out and explore.

Attended camp classen with kids' schools in 2024 & 2026.. Sadly seems they have had quite a bit of…read moreturnover in the last couple years. Cost was $250/week in 2024 as a camp parent/sponsor. Cost this year was $300/week per parent/sponsor! Unfortunately it is unclear as to where all that $$ goes as campers are also $300/student/week. I will say the money is not going on the food.. But the most mind blowing part was that upon arrival- employees would enter the cafeteria with a to-go container. Often going around all of the students and camp sponsors, even taking the last of what's left on the salad bar! I'm sorry but you just came to work likely from your home- and the students/sponsors have been hiking/sweating all day! Just seems distasteful to especially forgo the line and load yourself up. All around it is baffling as to why the grounds are not being kept up and all this money is being collected.

My two sons attended the insect investigators summer camp at Riverbend nature center June 15th…read morethrough 19th 2026 before enrolling I specifically inform the camp that one of my sons is autistic and and discuss his needs with staff I was assured that he would be accommodated and supported. During camp my 9-year-old autistic son reported that a male camp counselor roughly handled him and squeezed his shoulder causing him pain my son reported yelling out ow you're hurting me. My 11-year-old son witnessed the interaction first hand. Earlier that same day my 9-year-old son had a painful blister on his foot according to my son the counselor repeatedly and harshly demanded he put his shoe back on throughout the day my son reported that each time he explained that the shoe was hurting his foot no basic first aid assistance or a Band-Aid was ever offered and I was never contacted despite living 7 minutes away. By the end of the day my 9-year-old son told me he had a bad headache that the counselor had been exceptionally hard on him and that he did not want to return to camp and see that staff member again. My 11 year old son also reported being distressed by repeated angry outburst from the same camp counselor and did not want to return to camp the following day I immediately reported my concerns to camp administration and requested that my son's being moved to another group they can't fail to fully reassure me that my children would be safe and protected going forward as a parent I ultimately felt I had no choice but to withdraw both of my sons from the camp to keep them safe. I requested the camps written policies regarding physical contact between camp counselors and campers on four separate occasions and have still not received them. As a parent of a child with autism and as someone who has professional training and safe not forceful guiding techniques for children I am sharing my experience to bring awareness to the situation and to advocate for my son's and other children attending camp here.
