Love this place! The staff are friendly, educated, and well-trained. The animals are very diverse and beautiful. The activities are a blast, as well as educational. And the facilities are modern and clean. But the best part about it is the culture. After the first campfire you feel like you're part of a unique family. Cub Creek Science Camp is #1.

I went to this camp for four years. I first went when I was 11 and it was great! It became my summer routine that I cherished every year. The pottery and animal programs were my favorite. The facilities were good, especially for a camp. Despite the amazing activities and facilities, the staffing got way too political. Unfortunately this camp has a major problem with nepotism. My last year I had this awful counselor who is related to the director. She was very immature, constantly using sarcasm, complaining about her campers, glaring at us, etc. I felt really angry most of the time and hurt. In addition, the director hired people who weren't cut for the job but whom she obviously liked better and demoted great people whom I guess she disliked. Overall, it's a fun camp that is very awesome for young kids, but parents need to be aware that counselors can become a problem. I would recommend calling about them before drop off. Too much money to waste on bad counselors that ruin the fun.

My daughter attended Cub Creek in the summer of 2014 and loved it. The cabins and camp facilities are very nice for a summer camp. It is very organized, and drop off and pick up was very easy and quick. The only negative I can think of is that the animal habitats are unfortunately not as nice or as large as I would have hoped for (more like a bunch of cages versus a true habitat). My daughter is already signed up to go back in 2015.

My kids attended Cub Creek last summer for a week. At the time they were 10 and 8 and they absolutely loved it! They did email, but only had great things to say about how much fun they were having. As a parent, it's nice to be able to go online and see pictures of your kids and how much fun they are having. The camp is a bit pricey, but well worth the money. Both kids are excited to go back again this summer.

Excellent camp. My son went for the first time this year. Flew him 1/2 way across the country just to go to this camp. We were scared to death but the camp staff treated him like he was one of their own right from day one. I really can't say enough about this program. Also, all of the campers are so nice and treat each other so well. No form of bullying exists as it is not tolerated. Great group of diversified children. Great experience for children of all ages!

As a staff member here in the summer of 2011 I can honestly say this is an awesome and unique camp. I wish I had known about it when I was younger. Kids here get to have experiences with animals that is rare anywhere else as well as enjoy the outdoors and make new friends. As a staff member I enjoyed working with the children and letting them explore and learn different things such as how to care for an macaw and where the hidden treasure chest was in the treasure hunt. Some of the newer things like the zipline are awesome! I also enjoyed how the staff members were structured with 4 to a cabin we were able to give equal attention to the children to ensure they were enjoying their time at camp and helped with any classes they wanted to get into. I would/ and do suggest anyone who has a child that loves the outdoors, science or animals to look into attending Cub Creek Science camp it will be an experience they will not forget

This camp is awesome for people interested in science. It allows children to have one on one with exotic animals and gain the knowledge about that animal. A class is offered where they can adopt any animal on camp and take care of it for as long as they are here.
