We spent our Fourth of July at Terrapin and it was absolutely wonderful! From being welcomed at the…read moredesk (I am so sorry I can't remember his name!), to our awesome guides Justin and Jasmine, to Scott who helped at the swing and doing the belay to get us down - we truly enjoyed the whole experience (despite the unbearable heat this weekend). Justin and Jasmine made sure we stayed hydrated, and regularly brought us into the air conditioning to avoid overheating. They ensured our safety every moment we were there. The rope course was insanely fun, the giant swing and zip line were a blast and our favorite part was honestly the rock climbing! Justin and Jasmine were fantastic - we will definitely come back (preferably not during a heat wave haha) and hope they will be our guides again - every single person today made it memorable for my family! Thank you so much!!!

Be careful, they charge 25% cancellation fee if you cancel a camp registration before May 31, and…read moreafter June 1, they only refund you their class credit. And if you cancel it within two weeks before the camp starting date, you will get no refund! Read their demanding policy before you register! Yes, I signed it, but I did not read the policy and assumed this camp's policy was similar to other camps' policy in this area that there is no charge if a cancellation happens more than 40 days before the camp starting date. I write this review just to remind people PLEASE READ THE POLICY! There will be NO REFUND for CANCELLATIONS AFTER JUNE 1. They only refund their camp credits to you so you can not get your money back!

Club Scientific Chesapeake offers all kinds of programs, but the one I'm reviewing is the one my…read moreson attended, which is for the Summer Camp of Camp Jurassic for ages 4-5 years old. I knew it was the perfect camp for my son since Camp Jurassic deals with dinosaurs and gemstones, both of which my son loves. The camp staff seem to be very caring of the children and offer plenty of fun activities. My son was excited every day to go to camp (and it was his first time ever going to camp) and after each day he always brought home a variety of projects that they had worked on during the day which varies from an erupting volcano, to an edible volcano, to a dinosaur model, to magnetic gemstones, rock candy, and so much more! My son was thrilled to go on a dinosaur dig where he "discovered" dinosaur bones that they put together. I'm thrilled to discover a camp that challenges my son both mentally (since they do scientific experiments and learning projects) as well as physically when they go outside to play. I've never seen my son so excited about attending anything before and he comes home every day with stories of all the fun he had during the day and all the new things he's learned. I highly recommend this company if you're looking for some place for your child to have a lot of fun as well as learn a lot in the process, since my son can't seem to stop raving about how great of an experience he's had with them!

Today was a beautiful day to visit this place. My husband found out they were opening up for their…read moreFall festival which included a petting zoo that included chickens, pigs/hogs, goats, Llamas, donkey, ponies, horses, rabbits, and turkies. The cost was not bad for the whole family, and kids under 2 are free. There were several various vendors, ice cream truck, taco food truck, and grilled food for sale. Parking was good and easy. My god-daughter enjoyed the pony ride. We definitely enjoyed the entire day here. My god-son fed and petted a few animals.

Plenty of beautiful horses, a petting area, a tree house & a park. We reserved time for the pony ride and petting zoo but it felt like we were rushed through our experience. The women who helped us immediately seemed frustrated because they overbooked 2 large parties along with our reservation, her vibe didn't feel welcoming because of their lack of organization. My kids did the pony ride literally 2 rounds (they wanted to keep going) then they had about 10 minutes in the petting zoo. That costs me around $60 & they do not take credit cards.

We had a very troubling experience with this Goddard School…read more We disclosed our son's ADHD prior to enrollment and explained that his medication was actively being adjusted. Despite this, he was given only a few days to acclimate before being sent home, briefly allowed back after a meeting, and then dismissed entirely -- without a reasonable adjustment period or meaningful accommodations. His twin sibling was allowed to remain enrolled. During one meeting, the owner, Melvise Powell, yelled at my husband and me and abruptly told us to leave her office. We also became aware that another individual appeared to be listening in via the office phone without our knowledge, which raised serious concerns under Maryland's two-party consent law. When this was pointed out, the meeting was immediately ended and we were ordered out. Additionally, our daughter later reported that an employee would pinch her when she did not nap, which we found extremely alarming and concerning. ADHD is a recognized disability under the ADA, and excluding a child without attempting reasonable accommodations -- combined with unprofessional conduct and concerning reports about staff behavior -- raises serious concerns. Based on our experience, the owner was extremely rude and unprofessional, and families should steer clear of this school!!

We had a very disappointing experience with this Kiddie Academy location…read more Before enrolling, we were very clear that our son has an IEP and requires his IEP team to come into the daycare to provide services. We specifically asked if this would be an issue and were told it would not be. Based on that assurance, we paid the enrollment fees for both of our children, with a start date of 12/8. After payment and after setting up a shared email at the school's request, Kiddie Academy informed us of new requirements for specialists entering the building, including a background check through the school and a medical report. These requirements were never disclosed prior to enrollment. As a result, our son's IEP team informed us they could not provide services at this location due to the requirements imposed. Because our son could not receive legally required services, we were forced to withdraw both children. To make matters worse, the school also changed our start date from 12/8 to 12/15 without consulting us. We contacted the school multiple times requesting a refund since we enrolled based on information that turned out to be incomplete or misleading and no services were ever provided. Our concerns were not adequately addressed. Families with children who have special needs should ask very detailed questions and get everything in writing before enrolling. Transparency and communication were extremely lacking in our experience

If you're gonna go to the Soccer Dome, expect a relaxing, winding drive out in the "country"…read more Soccer Dome is an indoor soccer place. There are 2 large fields with a small one for kids or for practice. The netting to prevent damages from the balls need to be replaced. There's a small concession stand. The restrooms (at least, the mens) needs to be renovated and have everything running smoothly. A couple of shower stalls are available for players. I was there all day. Towards the end of the day, it was stuffy from the players sweating. The ventilation system need to be upgraded. It could use a fresh coat of paint. Other than that, it's a decent place for soccer fun.

My daughter LOVES Camp Oasis! She'll probably attend again next year. Maybe…read more The program is decent and cost effective. Also, they always put on a cute show at the end of the two week program. Plus, the kids swim everyday in the neighboring pool. Why three stars? I honestly can't get passed the fact the kids have to sit on the floor to eat their lunch. I get that there may not be enough tables to accommodate a large number of children, but this is a paid camp. Why don't you invest in more tables or mats or something? Eating food sitting on the floor is highly unsanitary. Do you eat food sitting on the bare floor? I bet not. But, the camp counselors eat their lunches at the tables. Please change this practice; tables don't cost THAT much.
