Feedback from our Programs
Our Experience at Mother Lode River Center was Exceptional. Your staff was eager to help us make the most of our trip... It brought what we were learning in the classroom to life, allowing my students to make an unforgettable experience and connection. All your activities were well-planned and most importantly fun!

The students had a great time in the outdoors while reviewing info. they have studied and learning new things. The hands on experience of gold panning was one of the high points for the kids. It was a lot harder than they thought!

...Our kids had the time of their lives, enjoying themselves completely. Your staff kept them interested n the stations, the food was delicious, and the camping areas worked out well. Our parents enjoyed themselves also...Thank you very much for all your communication, care and effort.

The sunny day and beautiful area set the stage for a great day. Every student I spoke with said they really enjoyed their day and learned a lot about water... They clearly had a memorable day.

The staff Members were very professional and knowledgeable about what they taught the students. They connected well with our students and were positive role models and guides for various outdoor activities. The students appreciated and respected their expertise.

...I learned how to make a dream catcher, what the Nisenan Indians used to make food...It was very fun to play in the streams, search for bugs, pan for gold, (that was the best), and roast marshmallows. You made the trip super fun!
