My kids were engaged and laughing the whole time. My son recently had his 11th birthday party over Zoom with Majestic Adventures and afterwards he gushed more about how much fun he had, than I think he has ever done for any of his in-person parties! The story-telling talents of the MA staff are SO GOOD and we are huge fans.

In Adventure Quest, the children and teens become the heroes of an incredibly fun and dynamic quest, working together in a mythical and magical world to overcome interesting challenges, solve mystifying riddles, brainstorm unique solutions to puzzling dilemmas, and swashbuckle with foes. The campers experience the excitement and confidence that comes from banding together to defend their village, solve a perplexing mystery, or negotiate a peace treaty.

    Our family has participated in several Camp Fire programs around the Pacific Northwest, and we…read moreattended the Camp Kirby day camp in July 2025. While my daughter seemed to enjoy herself and spoke positively about the experience, the overall setup left me uneasy as a parent. Camp Kirby is located on a small island about 35 minutes from Bellingham. The setting is rustic and remote, and you have to drive very slowly down a long road to reach it. It's an unusual place, quiet and tucked away, but also far removed from anything else. The biggest issue for me was the lack of transparency and connection with the camp itself. Drop-off and pickup were tightly controlled: you wait in a long car line, staff approach your window, and then you're expected to drive off. There was no opportunity to meet the counselors, interact with other parents, or even glimpse the facilities. I asked nicely twice during the week if I could just see where my daughter was spending her day, and was told both times to email the director due to camper privacy. I understand wanting to protect kids, but other Camp Fire locations I've attended have found ways to balance privacy with openness. Here, I left every day with no idea what the camp looked like or what was going on inside. Communication was also minimal. Other camps send daily updates with photos and summaries. At Kirby we received one brief email and a photo album with a single blurry side photo of my daughter. I strongly recommend that Camp Kirby improve transparency by posting photos or videos of the grounds and facilities online. Even a virtual tour would go a long way toward helping parents understand where their kids will be all week. As it stands, I still have no idea what the space looks like. They offer one open house in the spring, but unless you live nearby, that's not realistic. The counselors seemed kind, though a little overwhelmed. And while my daughter's experience may have been positive, I genuinely don't know, because parents are kept completely at arm's length. I wouldn't recommend this camp unless you live nearby or already know someone with firsthand experience. They need to build more trust with parents and provide a clearer window into what's actually happening during the week.

    We stayed at WWFB&B in late September for a few days early in the week. The reviews were great and,…read morewe found, well deserved. I was particularly interested in taking some dressage lessons on a school master through their PNW Riding affiliate (operating at WW) to supplement my usual riding lessons after getting back into riding after a multi-year hiatus. The property is well taken care of, the rooms really welcoming (amazing mattresses!), and Gregg's breakfasts are five star for sure. We had to remind him to cut back on the portions - you won't leave the table hungry! He accommodated my dietary requests easily. OMG, I could live on his home fry potatoes. He really knows the businesses in the area and his restaurant recommendations were spot on. The acreage is a wonderful place to take a peaceful morning walk before your massive breakfast. You can tour the barns and visit with all the horses before they are turned out to their large grassy paddocks. I was told there were no resident bears on Whidbey so walking by yourself in the woods is safe. You just never know! I was disappointed to find out that their experienced schoolmaster had passed away, but was able to ride other horses during my time there. I took two lessons with one of their dressage instructors (Robin) on different horses, both in training themselves, which wasn't what I'd expected but was fun and educational nevertheless. One day I did a sort of trail ride combo and western lesson with their head trainer Nola which, again, was a lot of fun as I happen to like many riding disciplines. Their horse facilities are the best, with great turnout and two covered arenas in addition to their wooded trails. Heather asks all the right questions of their riding guests prior to setting up lessons. They advocate compassionate use of their lesson horses who are all maintained in excellent condition. Top notch equestrian operation! Heather writes an excellent monthly newsletter which is available online but also in print in the rooms. It covers a variety of topics related to the area and their place and it's a worthy read to get a feel for Wildwood. We'll be returning next year and will heed Gregg's advice to reserve our room way in advance.

    My experience at Camp Orkila is from the 1970s. Not sure of…read moreour particulars as to how we got there other than it was either through Y-Indian Guides (which despite being a really great experience between fathers and sons has likely died as the whole gender confusion thing we got going on struck a political nerve somewhere), or through the school system. This camp provided a common experience that I have had positively reinforced over the years with business associates, sports club members, through area social activities and many other events with people who were local to the Seattle area as children. It was a bit rough and we came home a bit hungry and smelling like campfire. This was the best way possible for us as kids from the pavement of greater Seattle to begin to understand Puget Sound, native populations and history and the rich forests that were everywhere past the edge of a parking lot. So, it is with some sadness that I read how some reviews here seem to miss the points that really made this place a valuable and safe learning environment for me and my peers. I was split up from my friend group and bunked with kids I didn't know. I hated it I also badly needed to have that experience despite it's ommission from the brochure. I think, and deeply, that those times allowed for fewer expectations which in turned allowed for a more broad perspective as to our control or lack of it, our marriage to nature It would become of immeasurable value in the kids who would grow up to be the stewards of the PNW. I understand the change of time as much as I understand how some qualities should not and don't change with time. Camp Orkila delivered both. Not like in the myriad of camp pamplets I see now, but in ways even the Camp did not necessarily include as part of the spiel. Thanks Camp Orkila.

    My daughter went to camp with 7 other close friends. All parents wrote the girls names in our…read moreroommate request forms and were under the impression that the girls would be spending their time at camp together. This did not happen! My daughter was put in a different UNIT with two of her friends while the other 5 were in the same cabin/unit. One of the three separated girls was successful to switch with another girl and join the larger group's cabin, leaving only two girls in one unit separated from the other 6 friends. My daughter and her friend attempted multiple times to join their friends' cabins/unit by contacting their Unit's Director who stated that they would look into the issue. After several days of not hearing back, the girls reached out to the Unit Director of their friends' unit, and were promptly made aware that despite being told that they could've potentially switched with two other girls from their friends' unit, that there was no space left in the unit. I understand that potentially there were other complications, but it felt that this issue was handled in a sloppy manner, considering that the issue could've been solved from the beginning had all the girls been put in the same unit (which would've made much more sense, considering that the girls are all the same age and had requested to be put with each other). To say the least, this significantly impacted the experience that my daughter and her friend had at camp. The two girls expected to be moved the first four days at camp and that did not happen. This was a VERY expensive camp and I feel cheated since the group of girls went together and DID NOT spend quality time at camp together. The injustice was heightened by the fact that one of the girls was switched while the other two did not have this chance. What is the purpose of the roommate form, if not for groups of campers to be put together? I sent a note complaining about this with no response so far. I will not be sending my daughter there again and would not recommend to anyone.
