I worked here for two weeks and had a really bad experience. We had super long hours and low pay…read morewhich I was aware of before take the job (around $3-4 dollars an hour working from 8:20-5:15ish with a 1 hour lunch break). Despite this, the office staff would often ridicule the counselors behind our backs and at times to our faces for displaying any tiredness, or wanting to leave/take our lunch break at the time that was agreed upon instead of staying extra and helping more. Higher ups often gossiped among themselves said really harsh and untrue things about counselors they didn't like, or essentially anyone who asked for anything from them. Me and a fellow female counselor were sexually harassed by two male counselors, one of which was older (like in his 40s) and had a leadership position. We reported one of the incidents and our supervisor said that they would not talk to the counselor because an anonymous counselor told them that I initiated the sexual conversation. I am pretty sure (though not completely sure) that the only people who heard the conversation were me, the two harassers, and the children at the front of the bus. That makes me think that the anonymous counselor was either one of the harassers, or they were made up. The other female counselor involved told her supervisor that she didn't want to get into the pool with or be in a bathing suit around her harasser. One day after she said that her supervisor made her get in the pool with him. There were numerous incidents of a counselors doing sexual harassment or making homophobic/antisemitic comments in front of (or in some cases to) the kids. It is true that a friend of mine reported the homophobic/problematic comments and the staff did talk to the counselor about it. Even after that conversation though, a lot of the comments were still being made. (For example, a counselor would put items on camper's heads and say, this is your yarmulke. Another example was the counselor was telling a story to some kids and saying "a boy liked me and it was gross." And he asked campers their pronouns and laughed at the prospect of their pronouns not matching their gender assigned at birth). Due to the work environment I messaged the director that I wanted to quit and she did not respond. When I got into work she looked at me angrily and would not address my quitting. I later learned that she was saying very unkind things about me to other staff members. She called me into her office and told me that she did not like that I complained about the pay, which I did complain about, but not to her. Another higher up heard me complaining and told her about it, but I think I have a right to complain. I also heard incidents from other counselors of the higher-ups intimidating people into not quitting, which is not okay. Overall the camp is fun for children but was really harmful for me and other staff who worked there.

Staffs were very friendly in getting us settle for the show. Theater space and stage can improve but it seem to work for the purpose of people attending the show. Props and stage decorations was a too simple. Overall it is a decent theater for the production shows that's bring performed. But there's always room for improvement. I would definitely return back for other shows with my kids. We see you soon!

Answered all my questions promptly, gave me recommendations without being pushy. Booking and planning were easy, I really had not much to do beforehand. On the day of the party, they were very attentive - again, I didn't need to do anything logistical and was able to focus on greeting the guests and enjoying the party. The show they recommended for our age group (mostly almost-3 yr-olds, ranged from 1 to 5, plus parents) was Cinderella. It was as enjoyable for the grown-ups as for the kids. Many of the kids had never been to a theater before and some got a bit scared/confused when the house light first went out, but the interactive nature of the show made it easy for the kids to get into it. They make it quite fun and accessible. After the show, they served pizza and then had a delicious customized cake for us. The whole time, the actors were around, interacting with the kids... totally blew their minds to talk to the characters :D All in all, it was so memorable. Planning was so easy and smooth, people were so helpful and attentive - as someone who usually obsesses and stresses over event planning, I was lost... everything was done well, nothing went wrong, so I was left with no choice but to sit back, relax, and enjoy!

We live in a great city where there is a lot of volleyball going on almost on a daily basis. I've…read moreplayed in Urban, Downstate, NY Lawyers League, Metro, VBLI, QVC, Dig This and BCV, just to name a few. It has been about 7 or 8 years since I started playing in BCV and I haven't missed a season of joining the league or clinics. I still go to other open plays but have found that BCV is my go to when it comes to league play and clinics. They do have open play on Friday, Saturday and Sunday but sadly my schedule doesn't allow me to have enough time to play then. The open plays that I have been to for BCV have been great. There are two courts, one for intermediate and the other for advanced. The skill level varies on the intermediate court as you might get some beginners, higher beginners that play but it's all fun (we were all beginners at some point). The advanced court always has some great rally's and hitting! The league play for BCV is very well organized and maintained. I find that every season I've joined and played has always been positive (except for the losing record a few seasons in a row). There is a great level of competition, divisional breakdown, referees and for the most part (90%) of the gyms are good! I've had only a couple of issues and they have always been immediately taken care of by one of the BCV staff. I love that the scheduled matches are always the same day of the week and in the summer the gym always has AC!!! Even for the seasoned vets out there, the clinics are well worth it! Sometimes I prefer the clinics more than the actual league play because it helps tweak my game and fix all the bad habits and mistakes that I make on the court. The clinics are definitely a work out and something that I'm going to continue to sign up for. The staff of BCV has always been extremely helpful, from the very first open scrimmage that I attended to the clinics that I'm taking now. David, Ram, Adam, Nicole, Mike, Poo are just a few that have been great to deal with on regular basis. I've helped some friends and family put together some teams and introduce them to BCV, they all love the league now and continue to set their teams up every season. I'd recommend this to any volleyball player in the area if you're looking for something competitive or just looking to have some fun (you just need to find the right team and right fit). With some luck and if I pay attention during the clinics I can chase that golden ball for the spring season.
