We signed up for two weeks and by the start of the 2nd, little man did not want return an this is from a kid who loves playing with stuff. Another part of the problem was the lack of direction during the instructional periods. Outside play time can only last for so long when you are forced to play outside for hours because the alternative was not enjoyable. I wish there was more instruction or something .

My kids (6 and 10) had high hopes and were excited to go, but alas they didn't really enjoy it…read more Aftercare was mostly held outdoors, making the kids stay outside in the high summer heat rather than letting them do indoor activities. I suppose it's easier and more cost effective to just force them to sit or play outside than to do arts and crafts or learn something indoors.

Parents get a full itinerary of each day's agenda well ahead of time so everyone is on the same page. You would a expect a program like this to just copy/paste field trips from year to year, but Camp Horizons constantly finds new programs, parks and activities for the kids to explore. I highly recommend Camp Horizons and its incredible team of Camp Counselors to entertain and explore new places with your kids all summer long :D

After the fact I found some great information about Galileo: -Galileo uses an "innovation approach" for teaching which is very similar to the design process taught at Stanford D-School and used by famous design strategy consultancies like IDEO. -It was voted one of the best places to work at in the Bay Area and you can see it in the optimism and quality of their staff and camp counselors. Our camp was at Walter Hays elementary school, pickup and drop off was very organized and the camp felt safe and secure with a high student/teacher ratio. We were part of the Olympic Games and Toymaker themed weeks and my son loved both weeks there. He talked about what they did everyday glowingly and came back with lots of interesting toys, gold courses, olympic torches, etc.. they had made. Ricky, the director went above and beyond when they forgot to pack my kids epi-pen the first week. Going out of his way to call us and giving us extended time to pick up the pen.

I realize it's unexpected that I would give 2 stars as my experience at Camo Unalayee was traumatic…read morehowever I do recognize that the vast majority of people have a wonderful experience and I think most everyone involved in the camp have great passion for their good work. however, years and years ago, I was molested by a camp counselor at this camp- at the time, I told my other co-lead what had happened. At the time, it was suggested multiple times that I was "confused," there was no further exploration as to what happened, and my parents were never told. I myself did not tell them as I was so ashamed after speaking up and having it dismissed. years later, I wrote the adult woman I had told about my experience trying to understand why nothing was done- she told me that she had brought up the issue with the director (and I think founder?) as well as other staff and it never went further than that. I wrote the director, and he said he has no knowledge of it? As a woman and mother now, I recognize the counselor who molested me was practiced and I do fear there were other campers who went through what I did :( I really, really just wish they had spoke to my family about what had happened so that there would have been accountability and hopefully it would have never happened to someone else at the least if it had, we (I) wouldn't have felt so alone. it took my years to enjoy backpacking and the outdoors again- it was so very hard to have such an experience in the most beautiful of places

Camp Unalayee is the most amazing summer camp EVER to exist!…read more The summer program at Unalayee is so amazing, not only because of the location (which is absolutely breathtaking) but also because the staff, returning and new campers each year create an amazing community. My parents brought me up to Camp Unalayee when I was six years old and from then on I was hooked. I've made life long friends and skills. I highly recommend this camp to any person young and mature.

I had to pull them off immediately. As a working mom, believe me looking for back ups at the last minute was not fun. There is trash everywhere, kids are packed in a small, small backyard in 85 deg weather with no fan. There were 14 kids from 5 years to 16 years.If there is any kind of hazard like fire, there are no emergency procedures in place. The lady sits in a room by herself and knits with 2 dogs moving freely. On top of it, when I pointed out how dirty things were, she told me to get off her property. You cannot charge 500$ per child in the bay area and provide such awful experience. I am shocked parents are recommending this place. Its one thing to be artsy and creative, completely another to endanger kids. There are enough arts camps. Avoid this. Attached pictures

My five year old son attended Camp here for one week. Although I can see how it might be relaxing,…read moreartistic and fire meant for teenaged children, it was really not an appropriate environment for a five-year-old. The teacher also seem to be uncomfortable with young children, and didn't really know how to make sure they would be comfortable in that environment. For example, one day my son ended up urinating in his pants, because he had never been shown where the bathroom was, and he thought it might be a better idea to just wait until Mommy got there. It's also cluttered and unclean. One day, as I was leaving, I stepped in dog feces. That being said, for a teenaged child, who knows how to navigate the world and take care of themselves around dogs and around adults who don't know how to help them, it may very well be pleasant environment for a relaxing artistic summer camp experience. I sort of got the feeling that the instructor used to be better able to handle a wider age range of children, but her tolerance may have changed over the years. In short, I don't recommend sending your child here if they're under 10 years of age.
