Review for Yosemite Ridge at Camp Wawona Inc, Fresno, CA, USA
When I found Yosemite Ridge at Camp Wawona, my son and I were very excited to attend a family camp for Camp Sierra. While my son had tons of fun with other children, the parents sat in classes learning about our children's asthma. It was very educational and informative. My son was hooked and he was invited to attend camp. I was a little worried until I found out that there was a complete, volunteer medical staff on sight. I left my son in their care and he had a blast. There were constant planned activities at all times. He had no time to miss me and become homesick. He wanted to go back the following year only I told him since the camp is free to all children, it was time to give back to what they have given us. I asked to be a volunteer and do whatever was asked of me. What an enjoyable I time I had! I got to witness just what all the fun alal of the campers were having. The camp ground itself is so very beautiful and great cabins. The dining room was very clean and the food was delicious. My son is hoping to be a camper again and I would love to volunteer again and my son hopes to be a volunteer when he is old enough. We love the camp and we also love Melanie, the camp director. She is doing a excellent job being the camp director.
