Seeing the recent upgrades as a longtime customer brought forth by the newer management and the board has been so special with this once historic stables now being able to upgrade our much needed essentials for the horses and the students. Just an all-around amazing place to ride and connect. The fact that it also happens to be a nonprofit is such an awesome thing to see in the horse community.

Grandparent here, with a second generation of Briarwood campers. It has consistently been a…read morewonderful experience for my children and now my grandchild. If you could imagine the quintessential day camp, this would be it. Everything that is fun under the sun, and great for rainy days too. Great lunch program, with lots of choices for picky eaters. Excellent swim program. Last year, our granddaughter tried out an overnight camp, but missed Briarwood, so she's back again this year and happy about it. One very cool thing is that since the inception of this camp, each bunk makes their own plaque every summer with their bunk name and year which are then hung up. It was amazing to our granddaughter to see her mother's and her aunt's plaques from when they were campers decades ago.

My kids go to Briarwood every summer and they LOVE it! Everything about Briarwood is fantastic…read morefrom the owners, to the property, the activities and the counselors. This is a group of people that truly care about helping their campers (and staff!) create memories that last a lifetime. The property is beautiful and includes anything and everything that kids of all ages will enjoy. They have multiple swimming pools, a rock climbing wall, all sorts of sports, gymnastics, boating, fishing, art, ceramics, minigolf...I'm sure I'm forgetting something because the activities seem endless. It has the feel of a "real" camp of days past, where there are no screens...just new friends, camp songs, bunk shows, and dance-offs. For me, the best part of Briarwood is that my kids come home LITERALLY arguing over who will tell me about their day first. They talk all through dinner about all the exciting things they did at camp. Prior to Briarwood, my kids spent their summers at different weekly camps, but the stress of managing that logistics became too much to handle. Briarwood offers transportation and they give the kids lunch, snacks, and plenty of water, which makes MY summer so much easier. One of the most impressive things is the tenure of the Briarwood staff. The counselors of each "bunk" call parents before the start of camp to introduce themselves and to learn about the kids. Some of the counselors I've talked to have been there for 20+ years, starting as campers themselves!! My oldest child has already talked about how he can't wait to eventually be a CIT (counselor in training) and how he hopes he will be able to be a counselor one day. Bottom line, the owners, Matt and Mike have built an incredible camp and I tell them every year that I'm so grateful that they create this experience for my kids. Knowing that my kids are out of the house being active, well cared fore, and making friends (and memories!) is priceless. My only complaint is I wish I could go too!!!!!

They have fun after school events where you can meet the other families and they really make you feel like family. My sons teachers are amazing. Miss Lule and Miss Tanaia treat my son like he was thir own. They take interest in all of his stories and you can tell they really care about him. They are both really hands on with all the children which is so nice to see. I am going to miss this school so much when he goes to kindergarten next year. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking in the warminster area!

He started out with Miss Madison & Miss Monica and they did a really great job as he was transitioning and getting used to a new space. I loved hearing at pickup how great of a day he had. Now his current teachers Miss Kayla & Miss Madison have been awesome with training him to use the restroom. I explained what I have been doing at home and they have really been on top of getting him fully potty trained! Whenever I have a concern I love how they are so attentive with answering questions and finding solutions. I am happy with the care he receives and I love how he never has anything negative to say about his teachers! I am at ease knowing he is in a loving environment where he actually wants to go to school every day to see Miss Kelly & Miss Sydney as soon as we walk in as well as his teachers once we get in the classroom! I would recommend COA Warmister if you are looking for a place where they value you as a parent first!

In just a few weeks , I had learned so much, there's actually a lot more skill involved than just getting up on the horse and walking with it! Joy had been patient , she knows her horses and she knows who would do well on what horse, just by looking at you ! The horses are all nice. It's in her huge backyard, there is plenty of room to learn in her ring. She offers the best price on town , and I feel there's a little more effort into her lessons because these are her own animals! Joy will teach you the ins and outs . She knows everything, feeding, cleaning, brushing , riding.. "Those who can't do, teach" is NOT how you would describe her because she DOES know everything and also teaches you what she knows!!! Absolutely love it here, it has been one of my best decisions!

It's generally clean for a small park full of pre-teens during the day. The few trees here are old and big, which is nice. For non summer camp days, it can be a pretty quiet & boring suburban place, pleasant yet creepy. It'll do if I don't want to drive too far for a bigger place.

They also have yoga in the park at nearby Rockledge Park through Twisted Monkey Yoga Studio. It has more climbing structures and running space for toddlers than nearby Ciegelkowski, but it doesn't have the baseball field or basketball/tennis courts that the other park has. Never usually that many kids there (if you want your child to have some playmates - there's Wall Park in Cheltenham or Champion Park or Fox Chase Rec in Fox Chase).

She didn't just raise her voice, she creamed to scare my little one. When I rushed to the room to tell her there is no excuse to treat babies like this she started to argue with me that it's ok because my daughter could fall down even though just couple seconds before she was screaming on other baby that spilled his water. It happened in "sunshine" room where they have babies up to 18 month old. They do have a video cameras in each room, but they don't have voice recordings and I would have never known my daughter was treated so horribly. Teachers extremely unprofessional. They came from the era of Soviet Union where it was ok to scream and mistreat babies whenever they feel like it.
