Rude & not really educational

My daughter had an outing there this last weekend with her Girl Scout troop and it was horrible! WAY TO MANY kids to too few staff, one staff member told our troop to break into smaller groups to make things go faster for us then I get chewed out by a different staff member because she 'doesn't care what she said out front and we're just using extra resources' - VERY RUDE about the whole thing, did not learn a thing about salmon!!! Kinda learned a little about how to keep the river healthy but ALL SELF GUIDED SELF TAUGHT!!!
All in all, if you're expecting to learn or be treated with respect from these people, save yourself the frustration. DON'T GO HERE!!!!
