The teachers are very positive and great with the kids. My kids had a blast and were very sad we were moving out of state and wouldn't be able to attend anymore.

My son comes our sweaty and tired - always a lovely way to pick up your child from a sports-activity. The one thing I find a bit disappointing is that the classes fill up - sometimes several weeks in advance and it can be hard to get into particular classes. So far our schedule has allowed for flexibility with this but given the short time in which to use up classes, it can be challenging to find enough options that fit our schedule.

The gym makes us pay to go to FL. To attend the National by pay the fee to get attendance. after we stay in this program for three years my daughter never gets treated fair. So, we left and what they did to my daughter in the last time had cost my daughter to not want to play volleyball ever again. Shame on you Alec and Shawna.

My children were past students of April's Play School, a Pre-K program that she directed 5 years…read moreago. After a few years of happy learning alongside great friends in a nurturing environment and we sent our daughter off to Kindergarten with a full heart and a thirst for learning. April's Play School was a very peaceful place filled with laughter and respectful friends. A couple years following her final Pre K class, she decided to bring the same fun curriculum to an outdoor summer camp and invite older kids to join along as participants or even junior counselors. Our youngest joined in for a week of camp along with her cousins. They had an amazing time. It's so fun to know that the kids are just being kids (with supervision), in nature, making up games and stories, building forts or even doing a structured project like washing berries and making jam. They took hikes and collected bugs. They did kid stuff and got dirty and maybe a little sweaty and they just had a blast. I was thrilled to hear that Camp Roots was gearing up for a 6 week run this summer. I immediately signed my little one up for 3 weeks and my Freshman aged son up to participate in the volunteering program. I'm expecting the same old thing as last time: slightly dirty, extremely happy & tired kids, competing with each other to over share their accomplishments of the day with me over dinner. It's soul filling to drop the hyper academic stuff for a few weeks and watch the kids truly enjoy (fairly) unstructured summer play. Go Camp Roots!!!

Unfortunately we had a less than mediocre experience with this camp. My daughter was placed in a…read moregroup well below her skill level and was forced to play with an 11in ball when the upcoming season requires her to play with a 12in ball. Kind of defeats the purpose of getting her ready for the next season. Wish I would have known it would cost $400 to have her play with the wrong size ball and get inadequate training. My daughter asked to play with a 12in ball and she was told "no, everyone has to use an 11in ball in this group." When asked to have her moved they said because she only had 1 year of experience that she needed to be in a lower level group despite the fact that she trained extensively outside of camp and her team just went to state a few weeks prior. Girls in her group were barely able to catch and throw balls (it's now week 6 of 8 and girls in her group are still struggling). When we spoke with Eve, she said she personally evaluated my daughter herself which my daughter said she's never did. Eve's assistant said my daughter could barely catch and throw which also was untrue because I stayed and watched and she never missed a ball. I asked my daughter if she missed a lot of throws that maybe I didn't see and she said no. After catching instructors in 2 lies it was decided it was best to take her to a real instructor. After attending a few practices it became very apparent that we were mislead. There are not enough coaches for players at this camp. Unfortunately most girls are left standing around waiting for the next exercise. The cheaper price of this camp may be tempting but not worth it. Invest in a real softball camp for your daughters.

I was a bit hesitant to enroll my daughter in this camp since she was on the Kirkland All Star team…read morelevel and I was not sure what level of softball would be offered. There were many girls that were on the all star team that were enrolled so my daughter enrolled. I stopped in periodically to see what they were doing and asked my daughter daily on what they did during the day. I will say that instructor to student ratio looked to be about 8-1. The instructors were collegiate players from freshmen to All American levels. If you are expecting a very detailed instruction on every aspect of the game, you should be enrolling in private lessons. But this camp does separate skill levels and allow girls of like skill levels and interests to train together. They really attempt to build up team work, sportsmanship and overall skill development while encouraging everyone to participate and have fun. The group breakouts are great for individual skill development but that typically only happens once a week. Is this a bit of a daycare, maybe but the skill development and fun factor and the new friends made was well worth the participation in the camp. I am a coach and I know there are many elements that help players develop teamwork, attitude and skill development are just a couple. I used my son who has played baseball at very high levels both before and after the camp and we both saw a good improvement in my daughter's skill level. If you are looking for a detailed batting lesson or specific fielding skills, please enroll a private lesson with your favorite instructor, there are many around. We plan on enrolling my daughter again in DBTR camp next year.

Due to the lack of recent reviews, I didn't know what to expect. Overall, my daughter had a great experience! They were a little less structured than other summer camps (in activities) but she was still happy and I liked how flexible pickup and drop off times were (as long as we did not go over 10 hours). It worked well for both parent's schedule. Unfortunately, they couldn't offer any field trips this summer (at least when my daughter went from mid-July to mid-August). Would recommend.

From the beginning, Beatrix fell in love with Gymnastics Connection. She has been doing gymnastics since she was 3, but all she remembers now is the Gymnastics Connection. She loves the open gyms, the instruction (cried when we couldn't afford two lessons a week, so I applied for scholarships), and she loves the coaches. After the spring showcase last year, she said she wanted to be a gymnast when she grew up. If I have obligations before or after class, Beatrix is able to sit with them an extra few minutes with a snack until I wade through traffic to get there. Above and beyond, one of the best experiences we have had in Seattle. From front desk (Stephanie Kyla) to Coach Maddy, Coach Megs, Coach Monica... stellar experience. They never turned their noses up to us when the credit card didn't go through. They made us feel like Beatrix belonged there as much as the other kids who don't need scholarships or second, third, fourth credit cards. We love you. We thank you.
