This will be my son's 3rd year at Camp Bernie, and my daughter's 2nd. He will be a CIT this year…read more My husband also went when he was a child. Both kids love the camp and have made many new friends there, and have no complaints about it at all. It's a very basic Y camp so not a ton of bells and whistles, but they keep the kids occupied and having fun, and that's really all that counts.

My daughter says she enjoyed this camp however there are several incidents that I can't brush off…read more I got an email about a camp staffer who inappropriately touch a camper. I was glad to be informed however it's freighting to get a email like that while your child is staying at a sleep away camp and you can't call them. This camp's staff lacks training in supervision and emotional development. My daughter behaved in a way that was out of character and I believe it has to do with the environment. When a classroom is out of control it's because the teacher does not have control of the classroom. They could implement more exercises related to emotional development and respect for humans. Lastly there staff... I was waiting for someone to assist me with making a payment online and I never got a call back until a month later where a staff member called me harassing me for payment and said no one was supposed to call me. She was so rude to me. I was treated disrespectfully she literally muted my voice when I asked for assistance and when I emailed the director Julie she passively said "I'm sorry there tone came off that way" and directed me to make a payment in a different format that we initially agreed on. This is a massive organization that receives billions of dollars and is well funded to assist specifically single low income households like mine. There mission statement says they help people yet they have staff that are unhelpful and treat people indecently which says a lot about there organization. They're mission statement needs to be changed to "we don't respect people we just make sure we get paid"

In the heart of Abington, and about a hundred yards away from the Roslyn train station, you can…read morefind Briar Bush, a hidden nature preserve tucked away on Edge Hill road. With scenic walking trails, an outdoor classroom, day camps and a small indoor animal habitat, Briar Bush is a great spot for small children, couples on a date, or anyone looking for a brief respite from the urgency of the modern world. With free admission for locals and a small fee for out-of-towners, the preserve is accessible to all patrons provided that they are able to walk down some wooded trails that circle through the admittedly short walking routes. The centerpiece of the trails is a picturesque, secluded pond with benches for sitting and an interactive sign with information on the local fauna and flora. The indoor animal habitat has a small gift shop, pamphlets on upcoming events and information on other parks in the area, and several interesting animals such as a blind possum named Odin, a bearded lizard named Karl, and several other unique turtles and reptiles. All of Briar Bush can be walked through in an hour or so, but the low admission, interactive nature events and scenic walking trails will have you wanting to return again soon.

We visited on a Friday afternoon during the school year and it was the perfect day for it, not crowded at all, staff was warm and attentive everywhere you turned, and there was just so much to explore across two floors. As a homeschool mom, I am always on the lookout for places where kids are learning without even realizing it and this delivered completely. My little ones were engaged the entire time, bouncing between exhibits and coming back to do things on repeat. The water table on the second floor was a huge hit (dam building = instant obsession), the crawl-through body exhibit had them giggling the whole way through, and the immersive hall with the giant projector and the orchestra activity where they put their faces into the performers? They talked about that the whole ride home. We timed our visit to catch the 3 o'clock otter feeding and training, definitely worth planning around. Maybe 30 people gathered and it was totally manageable and really sweet to watch. What surprised me most was how engaged I was as an adult. I was genuinely learning things alongside my kids, which is not always the case at these types of places. It felt appropriate and interesting for every age in our group. A few things to know before you go: follow the directions on their website for the specific parking garage , it's about a 5-minute walk and was only $5 for us. Strollers and wagons are totally doable with elevators throughout. They also have a café if you want to make a full day of it, and rotating special exhibits (always check the website ahead of time so you know what's on and whether it fits your crew). We stayed about two and a half hours and left happy. Already thinking about when we're coming back.

I'm not an avid science museum fan but had a fun experience at Allentown's Da Vinci Science Center…read more It's the new location for the museum which use to be located outside of town so visiting gives you easy walking to other downtown attractions and museums. Everything was interactive and modern with just enough text and things to immerse myself in to keep my attention. I especially loved that there are live animals I can see including otters! Some of the fish seemed a bit crammed in their tanks. :/ And I was excited to see the live animal reveal...but it was a cold day and this happened on the upstairs pavillion outside so, being a California guy who had checked my coat in the free coat check lockers, it was too cold for me to stick with it. There were all kinds of heaters out there that weren't on which would have made a big difference to me (or anyone who gets cold easily) had they turned those on. I was there with a group of ten with adults and kids ranging from 4-16. Everyone had a good time and had plenty to do and interact with.
