We've been doing trackers for years. The kids have a good time but I wanted to weigh in on the…read morepricing of late. The price has gone through the roof, but I'm really irked by the timing. Drop off is at 9:30 and pick up at 2:30, so essentially 5 hours (little more than a half day camp). It's already expensive at nearly $750 a week, but then you have to pay substantially more if you want to pick up or drop off at the same time as most other camps. Basically you're getting a half-day camp at more than full-day camp prices. Really annoying to get nickled and dimed this way.

What a rare, and beautiful program is Gaia Girls. Sarai, Erika and their cohorts are extraordinary…read moregifts to our children and us mothers. To say Gaia Girls is the antidote for the cynical, materialistic culture we inhabit doesn't do it justice. To praise the peace, groundedness and loving kindness Gaia Girls fosters only scratches the surface. To gratefully acknowledge the powerful process Gaia Girls creates to strengthen the mother/daughter relationship is modest. My daughter and I spent a life changing weekend together with Gaia Girls and I am deeply grateful. We are benefiting every day from what we brought home with us (blessings, songs, gentle awareness of each other), and we can't wait to go back!

My daughter and I had an amazing time at Artemis Village, Summer 2018. The setting was beautiful…read moreand the girls seemed to be entering a magical world of connection, beauty, and creativity. When I arrived on Friday to spend the weekend with the other mothers/female caregivers and girls, my daughter was so happy to see me and include me in the world she had entered. It was so special to see all the girls, each with their own mother/ female caregiver and sense the bond that they each shared. There were activities for mothers and daughters to do together and I felt these activities brought me closer to my daughter. There was also time for the mothers to connect with each other and there were even mentors for the mothers, from whom I drew a lot of support. I experienced many circles of connection during this weekend-- connecting with my daughter, connecting with the mothers, connecting with the mentors and the village they had crafted to support us, connecting with nature on my own and collectively, and more... Some girls and mothers who attended had known each other for awhile and we were new. I wondered what this would be like, but both my daughter and I found everyone to be very welcoming and inclusive and there were other new families as well that were very easy to connect with. I am so grateful that both my daughter and I could have this nurturing, inspiring experience and we are both looking forward to participating again this summer.

The coaches connect with the kiddos and teach soccer fundamentals but also balance it out with fun games and some youth led activities, which is the best way to introduce soccer while ensuring play. These are the moments kids remember, impactful for sure. In addition, the individualized care is something to note and one all parents appreciate. Last year my son was having bad grass allergies, and Coach Nitzi made sure to stay in regular communication with me and went out of his way to help my son stay comfortable and active.

This summer my son already attended a few great high energy adventure and play camps, and I had…read morealways wanted to try a Reggio Emilia (RE) approach with my son. He normally attends a Montessori preschool, and for many committed reasons I won't bore you, I always felt that RE may better fit his learning style. Camp Doodle is RE-inspired with projects based on a weekly theme. My son participated in "Light and Shadow" and grasped complex concepts. He is constantly paying attention to where a shadow lands due to light source(s) and stomping on my shadow as a form of chase and tag. The last day the camp counselors put together a gallery of all the campers' projects. Given identical materials and theme, each child's creation reflected a wide range of creative and conceptual development. I could see my child's personality projected in how he constructed his project pieces like a kaleidoscope. This was the only summer camp that gave me a glimpse of how my son's mind works. I give props to his counselor for being enthusiastic and welcoming. She was so warm and inviting each day. Her energy was unwavering throughout the day. The brief drop-off and pick-up updates were informative and insightful. She had previously taught preschool and now teaches elementary school, and thus she is experienced with working with young children and effectively communicating with parents. I was impressed by the caliber of the head counselor. I appreciated that the summer camp has 5 different weekly themes, and so I can pick and choose which weeks to send my son. Camp Doodle is also one of the more flexible camp registrations that takes in consideration the ever-changing family schedules. This is also one of the camps that has a later regular pick-up at 4PM, and my son still did not want to leave. As a side note, this is the only camp where my son had zero bathroom accidents. This only happens when he has zero anxiety. There is something to be said about Camp Doodle's calm environment that helped my son modulate his energy & focus on projects & activities, and he also could initiate and pivot to address his primal needs without being distracted or too absorbed into his environment.
