I was feeling nostalgic and decided to come here. I am now 40 and I came here in the 6th grade. Yeah.. old now. I see they still do the banana slug thing . We also did something cool with certs in the woods , you crush up I think the wintergreen ones and in the dark it looks like sparks in everyone’s mouths? Am I remembering this correctly ? Anyway because I was thinking about this today and how much I loved it I came back to give it 5 stars. I hope all the future kids have the Best time !

I went here back in 2015ish. Right before papa bear was prosecuted. I had lots of fun here, even though papa bear couldn't keep his meat in his pants this place still holds fun memories.I remember I had muddy shoes from hiking so I decided to go to the cabin when no one was there and rub my shoe on my friends pillow. Sorry Josue ?

I haven’t been to Walden West since I was ten years old attending Silver Oak Elementary in the summer of 2005, but the banana song came to me today unbidden and I just knew I had to make sure this place was still kicking. I’m so glad it is!Also, just to get this off my chest: I pranked my bully so hard at this camp. Put a fake snake in her bed as she was changing after her shower, and she ran out of the cabin screaming and naked. Sorry, not sorry. That girl was awful and deserved it. You’ll just have to trust me.

Walden West gave me such a great experience! I even cried when I was leaving! My cabin leader and the people in my cabin were so kind! I loved the song Banana Slug! Jellyfish took me on some amazing hikes! For example, my favorite hike was the night hike! Jellyfish showed his group such an amazing view of some cities! Everyone was so kind and I loved Kiwi, my cabin leader.

Walden West has seen better days. The drive up to the facility offers wonderful views but the actual space leaves a lot to be desired - the cabins are very out of date, but the larger issue is that they are not clean. There were brown smears of a mystery origin on the shower walls, dirt around the sinks, and unclean floors in the bathrooms the entire stay. The "teacher" cabin is very small and the rooms don't all have windows. Additionally, kitchen staff are not properly trained on allergens - specifically, gluten. We had several attendees with gluten allergies/celiac and the staff served gluten on two occasions while claiming it was gluten free. When I told the kitchen staff this, her response was that they've always served it. Unacceptable. One of our attendees got sick from this and had to leave our program early.

My experience at the Walden West science camp was a real let down. I waited 7 years to go to science camp and it was really boring. The food was not very good and they would always run out really fast and I'm thinking it was ruined due to covid. So I just think it was not as fun as everyone I know has said.

This is a review for Walden West Summp Camp. From what I know the group that runs the summer camp is different from those who run year-around science program for Santa Clara county. Walden West used to be my kids' favoriate summer camp. My elder kid attended every year K to 8th grade. Many of my friends and neighbors also sent their kids there every summer. Spots literally would run out in the first five minutes after registration opens up. Sitting in front of a computer at 7am in Feb was a tradition to remember. Everything changed after the program switched to a different organizer group in 2018. It is the same place and seemingly the same program, but it feels different. The program lead and staff are nice people but not capable. For any small issue you want to communicate with the office, it always belongs to someone else who is coincidently somewhere else. It is sad the program took a bad turn. My younger kid and friends did not go back after 2018.

Nice facility with lots of options both indoor and outdoor. There are nice trails adjacent to the property.There is a nice sized dining hall with a large commercial kitchen. There is also a pool and an indoor space that can be used for training or conferences.
