My daughter will be going for her fourth year this summer…read more This was her first sleep away camp when she was 8. She came back with a bag of dirty laundry, a pile of new friends, and a great camp experience that has made her more willing to go out of her comfort zone to try new things. The food is incredible. Like, if they offered a week for adults, I would blow cash money to send me to camp Edit 2022: this was in my drafts pre-pandemic. They are back again. My daughter will be a junior counselor next year, but luckily got to enjoy her last year as a camper this year. The food still great, as was the experience.

St. Peter's Summer Program is absolutely the best place to send your kids. Both of my kids have…read moreattended the St. Peter's camp, and it is far and away the most engaging, enriching, and fun camp that they attend. The staff is engaged and helpful and do such a good job of making all of the kids feel safe and accepted. The St. Peter's program, while focused on creative and fun activities, instills values of teamwork, kindness, and enthusiasm. The program is not religious indoctrination, and you do not have to be Catholic or Christian to attend, but the joy that this program shares is a real thing.

As a long time AAU coach, I've had the chance to work with a lot of great trainers and skills…read moreprograms in our area. Tru2Form is simply one of the very best. It's where I send my own kids to train. Dustin, Eric and Derek run such a great program that I can sit back and have full confidence knowing my kids are getting the best training available. The talented group of trainers at Tru2Form not only know what to teach, they know how to teach. They keep the kids constantly engaged, having fun, and of course, sweating from impactful drills and teaching. They cater to all skill levels too. It's not uncommon to see some of the area's best high school athletes polishing their skills while on the other side of the gym, a group of tiny but highly motivated little ballers are learning fundamentals and skills. If you're looking for skills development (basketball and speed/agility) you will absolutely benefit from Tru2Form. Your kids will definitely improve and have fun all the while.

Under new management this center is not what it used to be…read more My list of complaints: -Kierra Tongue is rude and like to argue. If she's in the wrong, which is often, she will just start an argument until she thinks she's won. - Jasmyn Butler is loud and does not discipline her own kids that go there, but is quick to yell at another kid. -Kierra Tongue threatens 5 year olds that are being mean to her daughter. -They do not like to be called out on their BS, they will make it hell for you to bring your child. -There is no structure in any of the older classrooms; infants & tods are great really. -Way too much personal drama going on in front of the kids. -Communication at the center is terrible between management and staff && management and families. -The director, whatever Jasmyn's position is, and the two team leads consistently leave the center to go have drinks (while still on the clock), leaving the phone with another staff member and the front desk empty. These are just a few things.

Absolutely love the school, the staff is always nice and caring, our daughter has been there since…read moreshe was an infant and always comes home with new skills. The enriching and creative activities really allow them to grow even at a young age. One of the best features outside of the staff is their app. Mom and I are getting continuous updates throughout the day with pictures/videos and updates on the cool things our child is doing in class.

Good-- they had a lot of freedom and choices. Very unstructured, which can be liberating…read more Counselors are very kind and engaging. Caters to different personalities and interests. Bad--they were short staffed. My daughter was looking forward to sewing and baking, but for like 2 weeks it wasn't avaliable. This camp is expensive, so no bueno. Also, last day of camp, they called me as I was on the way to pick the kids up. I thought they were calling because it was exactly 6, and I was late, and it was the very last day of camp. The camp counselor says "your son is bleeding a lot out of his nose, it's A LOT of blood" I rushed in. They tell me another kid punched him in the face, but they don't know what happened. They asked who was watching the kids? They said they were too busy, so don't know what happened. The camp counselor said they were understaffed, that they had been "asking for more staff like the other camps have", and that she was going to write a complaint about it. I asked her to send me an incident report via email. This counselor also said "we'll be here tomorrrow (Saturday) cleaning up and will send the incident report. She never sent it to me. It's funny because before the kids did this camp, I saw a review from a mom saying something about the kids being unsupervised, and her kid got hurt, but I thought maybe this mom was overreacting. Now I see what she is saying. Would I send them again? Yes, because they really loved it. The counselors are nice, but they need proper support and the kids can be free, but should still be supervised. I would probably drive a little extra and take them to one that is staffed better.

We chose Casa MAKV over returning to the larger franchised center they had been attending due to…read moreour fear of increased Covid exposure. We are so glad we did, and we couldn't be happier!!!!! Safety protocols are followed, everything is spotless, and everyone is in masks. I am an educator and tend to scrutinize teachers & programs more than the average parent, and I am thrilled with everything Anny does with my kids. As a founding family we have been with her since the start. She is nurturing, consistent, and explains everything to her students, which is incredibly important for our son who is very concrete in his thinking. The school is incredibly organized with endless amounts of activities, wonderful natural light, and a huge outdoor play space. The Montessori materials and small setting provide the exploration and developmental opportunities that my kids weren't getting in their previous school with dozens of other children in their class. The school atmosphere and daily schedule provides my kids with the routine and stability they need. Anny's communication is phenomenal, with a weekly snack schedule, newsletter, and being accessible to discuss anything that pops up. Casa MAKV has a secure Facebook page where we can view pictures of our kids being engaged in daily activities. I'm sure I am forgetting something, but honestly we are incredibly thankful we found this school and Anny. Our kids love going to school every day and are annoyed when we come to pick them up because they are always having so much fun.

I'm a pediatric occupational therapist and a mom of 4 young children and can be quite particular with programs! Ms Anny is exactly what we were looking for and my daughter even learns spanish! Ms Anny is highly organized and responsive and also has been very accommodating when I've requested flexibility (as we were going through an adoption and a pregnancy!) She has 4 children of her own who are incredibly sweet and such wonderful role models for my daughters. I really can't say enough good things. We really lucked out!

If you're looking for a riding camp, look elsewhere. I paid the extra fee for an extra hour of…read moreriding per day, for a total of 2 riding hours per day. My son never received 2 riding sessions, only 1 per day and they canceled a day, which equals out to only 3 total hours of riding for the week (no riding Wednesday). I paid for 8. Even with that ripoff, my son said he only got to ride 10 minutes each day because the time is split between the kids. I asked them for an explanation and refund for the riding lessons that were not provided and they never responded to my email or voicemail. The kids all describe it as a swimming camp that dumps the kids at the pool all day. They didn't even ask if my son could swim. It is run by foreigners with thick accents that are very difficult for children to understand. Some kids like it because there are tons of kids going here, but if you're looking for a riding camp, this is the worst one. Don't let the nicer facilities deceive you, your kid will not learn to ride, and will not enjoy riding after this experience.

My daughter stopped in for a horseback riding lesson with her daisy toop and I went along to…read morefulfill my inner horse girl dreams. Camp Olympia is a horseback riding center, nursery school, and summer camp located only a few minutes outside the District. There is lots of parking and tons of green space to run around. It's an absolute beautiful space to send your children to. Our instructor greeted us and introduced us to the horses. The girls were able to learn different horse facts and were taught how to properly groom the horses and spend quality 1:1 time with them. All the horses were well cared for and were super sweet with the children. Afterwards, each child was taught how to mount and dismount a horse and was led around the track. It was such a special experience and we are already so excited to go back!

Over the years "graduates" of Valley Mill came back to be Counselors.
