Fun but a little cheesy from an adult perspective. Good lessons on the lasting impact of marginalizing others.

Do kids really bring crazy supplies to summer camp in order to prank other cabins? Where did those girls get all that glitter? This was a survival camp, not art camp.
Otherwise this is a nice easy children's book read with a good message that camp pranks aren't good, but rather working together is. It was also nice to see Isaiah's preparedness (carrying around dental floss to use as rope) come in handy.

And I still think it would be nice if the front of the book had a little map of the part of the park the book occurred in. Rocky Mountain National Park is quite large, and a map would help get a better idea where the action in different scenes was occuring relative to other scenes.

Read this book aloud to my kids. The cadence of the writing was not smooth. We felt that the writing style could have been edited a bit more to make a much more enjoyable story. The story line was good, but a lot of extra words that ended up making some parts confusing. Example: the wilderness survival campers at Rocky Mountains national park survival camp, could just have been restated as the campers.

Loved all of the survival skills included in this book and the continued theme of the value of family. Especially liked the emphasis on siblings enjoying each other’s company and working together vs fighting with each being the normal thing. But I thought the part with the previous camper writing a newspaper article was odd, a little creepy and kinda came out of nowhere.

My kiddo liked it but I rolled my eyes a lot as I read aloud the cheesy language and heavy handed morals/lessons. The survival skills camp concept was good as were the descriptions of the adventures, but not enough to make me want to read the rest of the series out loud.

Great series of quick reads. Perfect for read alouds with the kids, or to yourself. Always makes me want to pack my bags and head out to the National Parks.

Read aloud to the kids. It was okay, they didn’t love it. 2.5 stars.

My 7 year old loved it! Probably for all the shenanigans 😉

Not my favorite of the series so far, but my kids enjoyed it. If my kids are enjoying reading a book, and it has good messages and exhibits high moral character, then it’s a go for me.
