"I left about 5 hours ago. I already miss Mantis. Aka my naturalist. This is David Pangilinan. I hope to see you again Mantis."
"I just returned from an experience as a cabin leader, with my son's 6th grade class, for a 4 day, 3 night science camp. It was excellent! We had a very busy, fun, active, and tiring schedule. The staff were all truly fantastic, with both the students and adults alike. I appreciated the education/activities provided, and felt it was a comprehensive program with unique learning opportunities. Our class even got to participate in the rare opportunity to stock the creek with young coho salmon! As to the negative review regarding pronouns, I thoroughly appreciate the program's approach to inclusivity, and never felt the students were pressured, in any way regarding gender identity/expression. I feel they were all approached with grace and respect, and given a safe space to express themselves freely, as should be anyone's right. Do better people, everyone deserves to be respected as a human being. Walker Creek understood the assignment 100%- thank you! Thank you Walker Creek Ranch for providing amazing memories for myself, my son, his classmates, and future students."
"My son had his 6th grade end of year camp week with his school at Walker Creek. I heard such positive things about this camp in the past, so I am sad it has taken such a bad turn. The leader of the camp, I can’t even pronounce “their” name was completely and totally inappropriate with the parents and kid campers. “They/he” wanted all the parents and 6th grade kids to refer to each other as they or them, not he/she. “They” took extreme offense when asked to help with bags. So many other negatives to discuss it would take me pages to write them all! I truly hope that this camp gets new camp leaders and that “they” remember these are 6th graders and their parents who are looking for a fun camping week, not adults needing or wanting lessons in LGBQT procedures."
"It kinda sucks it nice on a school trip with friends but it rained for the first 2 days i was there and we went on like 10 diff hikes in like 2 days but the foods really nice thin mattresses though."
"Well the best thing is the scenery and it's a nice drive there. Everything else is very basic. The staff are very nice."
