They allow more kids than they can manage to attend. My daughter didn't even get a second snack because the line for snack was too long. When I complained to the director, I was basically told that it was my kids fault that they didn't get to do any of the activities, as kids choose what they want to do.

This camp is incredible! My children (ages 9 & 5) liked that they could choose the activities they…read morewanted to participate in throughout the day. They especially enjoyed the sewing and baking rooms where staff could assist them in these experiences. My kids also liked the special activities for different days that were in addition to the activity rooms. They had a blast with the go karts and thought the reptile and birds special presentation was really neat. My son was thrilled to participate in some sort of game show-like competition where he was proud to win this multi-colored poop emoji hat. I like this camp because it's convenient for parents. All I need to do is send my kids with a water bottle; I don't have to pack snacks, lunch, or even sunscreen since it's provided. I appreciate that I can sign them up the day of camp and I don't need to plan ahead. I also appreciate the long hours of the full-day camp, but I can pick up my kids whenever it's convenient to me. I've always experienced prompt staff interaction with pick-up and drop-off. Lastly, the staff at the Manhattan Beach location were friendly and professional. Rachel, the camp director, runs an organized camp, responds to email quickly, and is very welcoming. Grand View is an ideal location to have Steve and Kate's Camp due to its ample space. We hope it's there next summer too because we'd all enjoy to go back!

Youth Soccer Should Build Dreams, Not Break Them…read more We are witnessing a devastating failure of oversight at Sand & Surf Soccer Club. One coach in particular has crossed the line from discipline into cruelty -- speaking to young, hardworking, impressionable players in ways that drain their stamina, crush their confidence, and drive them away from the sport they love. This is not just about one bad season. It is about a culture where bullying goes unchecked, promises of improvement are broken, and leadership fails to protect the very children they claim to develop. When a single coach is allowed to act this way, the damage spreads across the entire club. Every young player deserves encouragement, respect, and the chance to grow. Instead, we see dreams being killed by words and actions that have no place in youth sports. We call on: Club members to demand accountability and refuse to normalize toxic coaching International soccer leadership to recognize this oversight gap and enforce standards of conduct Coaches everywhere to remember: your words can either build futures or destroy them Silence is complicity. It's time to stand up for the players whose voices are being drowned out. Their dreams matter. Their futures matter. And we will not allow negligence to continue unchecked.

Camp Adventurewood

My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

You can truly feel that they work hard to create a safe, joyful environment for the kids, and as a parent that means everything. The activities are fantastic: well planned, age appropriate, engaging, and fun. The natural setting is also beautiful and feels especially important these days. My boys came home with confidence, stories, friendships, and summer memories they will cherish forever. And the camp spirit is real. We still sing the silly songs at home, especially the announcements song whenever we have a family announcement, and the birthday song too. I cannot recommend Cali Camp enough.

But it now caters to a younger crowd and has substantial co-working space. I've certain found more members using the facilities but also discovered quite a bit of new programmings like the Pilates classes, mahjong club, live jazz performances and movie nights. I was not really sure about the change at the beginning but I am now fully embracing the new LAAC. Many of the staff and members have been here for a long time and it is nice to be greeted by familiar faces when coming to the club. The restaurants are pretty decent. Love to top my salad with a nice piece of salmon after workout at the Famous Players or have a tasty glass of scotch while enjoying the live jazz performance at the Invention. The sports bar Duke's has great happy hours and fun monthly evening karaoke or chess club meetings. The only thing I complain about is the need for shock absorbance and insulation of the noise or moving the weight station. The northwest corner of the Famous Players near Olive Street shakes every time the weightlifters drop their weights, which is very annoying and distracting for the diners. Feel like the ceiling or floor is going to drop out. No joke. For now, I would sit as far away from the northwest corner as I possibly can. But hope the club would look into it. I have been trying to sign up for the monthly wine tasting but they are always full. Maybe consider having the event more frequently or scale up? Regardless, I am still exploring all the new offerings at the club and really pleased with the Pilates classes and the live music performances. Although I am apprehensive when I first see the co-working space and the influx of new members, I now appreciate the additional events and classes that come with the new members and hope the club continues to do well and do better as I am here to stay.

The lap pool was my favorite part - clean and calm. There was some miscommunication between the lobby and the store, as one said there is no reservation system but there in fact was. But even when told all the lanes were fully reserved, more than half weren't in use. Parking is a bit of a hassle; for non-members it's definitely not worth it. At the time of visit, the parking machine wasn't working. There are also sperate elevators for parking vs the athletic club / hotel area which was a little confusing. The stair numbers also didn't coordinate the best with actual level.

The following are three more 5 Star Reviews; two that YELP Review Software made the decision not to post and one more 5 Star Review that was posted in YELP in Santa Monica (that should have been posted in YELP in Playa Del Rey): Jan 7, 2019 My kids had a blast at the 5 Star camp over the winter break. The staff is super friendly and have a wide range of activities lined up for the kids. I love the fact that they keep the kids active, with physical games and even took them on the sand berms on the beach. My kids did not want to leave when I arrived to pick them up and were exhausted after a fun day. I'd also like to plug the school enrichment programs that 5 star offered. My kids have taken film making, hip hop, ceramics, chess, lego engineering, and Spanish. We've had a great experience with the instructors and coaches and the kids have enjoyed the social interaction, especially with seeing kids who are not in their class. Coach Stu is a pro and will bend over backwards to ensure the kids are having a great time! Dana R. Westchester / LAX, Los Angeles, CA August 2, 2018 This is our first year with 5 Star Enrichment Summer Camp and we are very happy with all the coaches and activities that are provided for our 6 year old. Our son is a timid and cautious boy and this summer camp has allowed him to explore and grow a little more. He always comes home excited to let us know what he did, gymnastics and meeting an engineer would be his top favorite things. We would recommend this camp to anyone looking for a wonderful outdoor summer camp. Dania M. Los Angeles, CA Mar 30, 2018 My sons just finished their first week at 5-Star Spring Break Camp. THEY LOVE IT!!! When I pick them up after work, they have huge smiles on their faces and are excited to tell me about their day and show me their projects. I'm thrilled that they're happy, but I'm also ecstatic to see Professional Instructors as staff!! (No worries about clueless college kids being put in charge of children, which happens at other camps we've tried.) And another great thing about 5-star, is that this gem is affordable. Camps are held at a nice, clean facility, and it's still easy on the wallet. What a find!! Christy W. S. Venice, CA read more

UNFORTUNATELY I've already paid 320$ for the summer and I am trying to get as much out of it as I can (which is not much). From the moment I was enrolling and was assisted the lady had an attitude, she asked me how did I know about this boys and girls club and told her that I worked in the area and she very to the point said, "oh". Ummm ok lady that's for the welcoming???? That was the red flag heck if she wasn't friendly with me dayum I wondered how she is with the kids. Sure enough not to long after that as I was dropping of my kid and I saw how rude she is with other kids. I know this is not a CHILD CARE as their forms say but dayum what are my 320$ for? Every single time I drop off my child and pick her up there's ALWAYS staff members on their phones when the kids are sitting on the couches staring at each other. One time I was picking up my daughter and as I was standing there hoping she'd see me first she was walking behind a staff member tapping her to get her attention she followed her from one corner to another I was starting to think this staff had no sensation on her arms, did she really not feel taps on her arm or once again were these kids being ignored???? THIS PLACE IS NOT WORTH 320$ They are so disorganized horribly!!!! I've spoke to other parents and to my surprise I am not the only one that feels that way. I thought that this location would be better I was horribly wrong.
