    World of Discovery is a great day camp. We've been sending our countless children there for 6…read moreyears. The staff is friendly and helpful. They run a fun and professional outfit. Oh! They are also very knowledgeable. I'll often have a hard question and I'll speak to some teenager (cue eye roll). Then, the kid gives me a friendly and accurate answer because they've been going to the camp since they were 4 and are subject matter experts! It's hilarious. Send your kids. They'll have a great time and not become part of the furniture over the summer. Why are you still reading this? Sign up, man!

    I paid $3,399 for 5 weeks of this camp and it was nothing like advertised. The "campground" is just…read morea public park with no secure place for belongings, no private restrooms, and no backup indoor location in bad weather despite claims otherwise. Children roam unsupervised, staff are mostly untrained teens, and lunch is either a peanut butter or cheese sandwich unless you send extra money for fast food. My 7-year-old son (ADHD/ASD) was promised support and supervision -- he got neither. Items constantly went missing, leaders ignored repeated requests to help him keep track of belongings, and he came home dehydrated more than once. Activities like arts and crafts never happened, and "swim instruction" was just free play. The bus service was chaotic, with extreme delays, poor communication, and at one point my son's bag (with his AirTag) was left on another bus, causing me to panic thinking he was lost. He also spent hours in wet clothes after a rainstorm. This camp is unsafe, misleading in its advertising, and not equipped for young children or attentive parents. I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Follow the signs. Thereis parking to the side of the main house. This visit had a tour of plants . There is a pond, fire pit and picnic tables throughout the area.it is a nature preserve park with many native plants along with some for sale. I suggest wearing a hat and sunscreen. While there are paths, sturdy shoes or work boots are good too along with a bottle of water. I did sera sign for bathrooms as well. They have a compost pile on the side.if you happen to have peelings from vegetables feel free to drop them off on your visit and learn how they make black gold for the soil.

We had a group of about 15 Cub scouts there finishing the ferns and animal related topic badge. The lady who gave a lesson about how to track or discover animals around us during our daily life, but the lesson was in a small room with no AC. The boys were not interested in the discussion at all. The session was informative to the parents, but the lady seemed unable to handle younger kids. We then took a nature walk outside and the boys were very into the hike. The trail was clearly marked and easy to access by foot. Parking lot was relatively small. Overall it was an okay experience.

We notice after just 4 or 5 group lessons that children 5 and 6 years old start to make contact with the ball and start hitting the ball back with a partner and the thrill in their eyes is just amazing. A great reason why the children are successful is our staff. Many other programs have older instructors teaching very young children but we have a young staff...

CampsRUs is great for kids that aren't super into sports and competition, and prefer other activities. Each day is different. They go to a nearby town pool 1x a week, and 1-2x a week have a fun trip. This year they went to White Post Farms, Adventureland, Bounce, laser tag, bowling, Bellmore Playhouse, and a bunch of other places. Trips are different for each age group. The camp is run out of a school, so they have a playground and gym, as well as classes in stem, arts & crafts, etc. One day they had a slime truck come, another day the NY Islanders came, another day was a petting zoo with pony rides. I love that the camp has a Facebook message group and sends pictures every day of what your kids are doing. They are family run, and seem to really care.

The teachers and staff are super friendly, patient and loving. Special thanks to Ms Gloria who is always great at communication of all the needs & concerns we have! We love you, Ms Gloria! They send the pictures and daily reports (with potty time) every day, which is super helpful for first-time parents! And they even helped potty training for the kids (thank god!). During Covid, there are very strict Covid protocols in place (mask mandate, cleaning, no parents at the class room, etc). As someone who is more cautious and still doesn't feel comfortable with indoor dining with mask off, I trust Ms Gloria and teachers at Kiddie since they follow the Covid protocols very well. Now that my kid has graduated from Kiddie, I am planning to send her back during future summer/winter breaks. I will definitely recommend to my family and friends as well!

    I see some frustrating reviews, while some have a point, but some might not telling the whole…read morestory. I'd like to add in from what I see. The pool will close early if there's an extreme weather like thunderstorms which not suitable for swimming outdoors. The snack bar is pricy, so as the membership. Kiddie pool may have bugs sometimes, but still clean enough to use. They're pretty strict about the rules, not flexible, it seems mostly just protecting their profits, most of the times are understandable. The facility is members only, or paid guest that brought in by a member. To address another reviewer's concerns, non member swimming lessons takers are only allowed to use the pool for the lessons only. That price doesn't include all other facilities, of course besides shower stall and changing room. You have to pay to use their facilities like the pool and playground, etc. Parents got plan better. While I can see it's frustrating to have a young kid waiting in the heat, but I don't see it's the management's fault that you didn't pay to enjoy them. You're lucky if they didn't catch you and let you use sometimes, that doesn't mean you're entitled to. It's unfair to all the members/ guest that paid to use them. On the lessons pricing, I personally think the package is a great deal. The single lesson is 85, while they offer discount on packages, the more you take the more discount you get. They offer different discount rates on 4, 8, 12, 16 packages. As of 2026, 16 lessons package is 615, it goes down to about 40 per session. That's almost half of the price compared to single lesson and other swim school like saf-t. I don't think it's reasonable to buy a package, then ask a refund per session with the package discount. If you take only 1 session, it seems reasonable they charge you the single lesson rate less the discount for the package. I don't see any noodle/kick-board offered by the pool. Members/guests bring their own. There are staffs that are nice and more accommodating. While others, seems like high school/ college students have no experience in handling situations. Once I missed my turn to go to an activity, the kid there signing the seat just telling me no, nothing can be done. While at the end of the day, I was just kind of complaining to the office, they were more understanding, and managed to squeeze me in since they have availability towards the end of the day. I didn't go at last, but their attitude made the experience completely different. Overall I think the facility is nice, offers activities throughout the week. Some staff needs more training to have a more accommodating mindset. If you have money to spare, it's a nice place for the summer.

    Pool is nice and big, however, the "noodles" and kickboards have not been replaced in years and…read morethere are so few of them. The snack bar prices are a bit steep for a snack bar and they don't have enough people working there. You can wait on line for food and drinks for 20 min. They also need bug zappers. Locker room should be cleaned or at least the floor should be dried several times a day. Please enforce no loud music. Great music throughout the day but some people bring speakers and play some crappy music very loudly. More table in shade needed in snack area
