They teach fundamentals, how to win and lose, a work ethic and discipline! My son has been going since he was 4, and in two years, he's improved so much and has so much fun playing on a team.

My kid loves basketball so I sent my kid here due to the high ratings. I wish it were better. Here…read moreare the flaws that I think everyone should be aware of prior to signing up: 1. They don't speak to your children with respect. There is constant berating and talking down to children. A child in the class asked a reasonable question and the instructor responded sarcastically. The instructors clearly expect the children to misbehave and believe punishment and threats is the way to get what they want. It reminded me of a boot camp with drill sergeants, which is not something I want for any young child. 2. It's chaotic. They split the class into 3 stations with different instructors. They don't clearly explain the drills and then punish children for doing it wrong. Going pack to the previous point, they intentionally don't or are incapable of answering the children's questions properly, which further confuses the children. Also, one of the instructors brings her two young children, the younger of which cries and demands her attention during the session. She eventually picks her child up and tries rocking the child to sleep while attempting to do basketball drills with the students. I thought this was a one-off but its happened week after week. 3. They end the class with a silly chant. Needless to say, we cut our losses and stopped going. I didn't want my kid to hate basketball.

Last summer was the first year that my son attended this camp. A good friend of mine recommended it…read moreto me since my son loves doing interactive experiments and seeing how things work. Without knowing anything about the camp and going just based on my friend's rec, I signed my (then) 6 year old son for all 4 themed weeks. The first day, I asked him how his day was and his response was, "I love Galileo!" This continued on until the last day of camp. He loved it so much that he made me promise I would sign him up again the following year. Throughout the school year, I kid you not, he would randomly ask me when I would sign him up for Galileo. Once, January came around, I had no excuse, I signed him up and we are all set for the summer! He is so excited and the fact that this year, it'll be at Montemalaga Elem will make the commute much more easier! I loved how all the teachers and staff were so attentive and always interacting with the children. Even at morning drop off, it would be strange if you didn't see someone dressed up in a funny costume to welcome your little ones and take them over the thresh hold into the magical land of Galileo (it was actually an alley with paper streamers...but the kids loved it)! Each week they would work on a theme and continue working on it, until Friday-the day the kids present all their hard work and show it off to the parents. Prepare to go to pick up on Fridays with an empty trunk. You'll definitely need all the space to take home the towers and models they've built! My son loved it and if he's begging me to sign him up all school year long... Galileo is doing something right! You won't be disappoint!

The staff are very professional -- not a bunch of teenagers pretending to know how to interact with kids. 3. Every morning the kids enter the camp in such a fun, positive way -- starts the day off right. 4. The kids get to do art, science/engineering, and physical activities, and they get to work on their projects the whole week, then present them on Friday. They feel very good about their projects! Thanks, Galileo!

After spending some time at some other camps this summer, I am now realizing how unusual it is for…read morethis camp to have consistent staff for the entire summer duration, if not for many years sequentially. This explains the highly experienced counselors, undoubtedly trained by Heather and Adam the owners. Some of the other camps in the area seem to have "on call" staff depending on the volume of drop in kids, which I found problematic because my kids could not identify regular staff to approach with questions and found themselves disoriented initially. This is what happens when companies exploit workers instead of seeing them as crucial childcare providers. The price difference at these other camps is not worth the inconsistent staffing or burnout amongst the employees about having unreliable work hours.

One of the greatest outcomes of Covid - PBC Camp! We really needed to put K in something since…read morehaving her home for a year. This camp came up in my "South Bay Summer Camps" Google Search, and I did not look back. I happened to book PBC on their last day of early enrollment. The staff was accommodating towards my hesitation towards booking my 4 yo. They answered every email promptly, and were extremely helpful with their information before camp started. Here are my takeaways from our first year of PBC Summer Camp: You book everything through their online portal. The portal is set-up so that you can enroll your child(ren) all in one shot. You pick the weeks that you want to attend, and they have an option to add or remove weeks. (You cannot remove a week once you've paid for it. I assume.) There is an optional lunch program that you can get as well. The food is delivered by Kelly's Corner, and the menu is provided a few weeks before camp starts. There is a Summer Camp handbook that spells out everything for you. It is emailed a few weeks before camp starts. The information is neither overwhelming, nor leaves you with additional questions. I actually appreciated the simple wording, and straight-forward handbook. Before each week, PBC sends a simple 2 page email with drop-off and pick-up reminders and any updates that are warranted. Sometimes there is a piece of paper that they give you at carpool that reminds you of the spirit weeks, but other than that, there is very minimal email correspondence that you need to keep up with - which I greatly appreciate. The themed weeks are awesome! Last week, was pirate week. They had a huge pirate ship bounce house for the kids, and the costumes were fabulous. There are dress-up days every Wednesday and Friday, and the campers and counselors get into character. Each week is truly memorable for the campers. My child gets in the car every single day at pick-up and talks about a game that she learned, a new song, or a friend that she played with. I am pretty sure that my shy quarantine child still has not said a word to anybody, but I do believe that she is starting to come out of her shell. Regardless, she is really having the best time ever! K plays so hard that she tries to keep the fun going at home. We have learned the rules of "What time is it Mr. Fox?" and apparently there is a blue monster in "Red Light, Green Light." K asks every single morning how much longer until we leave for camp. She truly loves to attend, and wants to go every day. This 4 yo is easy-going and chill. Drop-off and pick-up was simple and seamless since Day 1. The greatest part for me, is the extended alone time, since K comes home and walks herself into her room for a nap. One of the directors, Heather, greets every single car at pick-up and drop-off, and you can tell that she truly cares about the campers. Based on my conversation with her, this is their first time at RHP. If they happen to go back to their old location, we may be devastated by the 'longer' commute. (VERY short commute right now. Hah!) Our hope is that RHP has a pool, and they continue to let PBC use their campus for years to come. It is a great set-up, and the carpool line is always a joy. We look forward to spending the rest of the Summer with PBC, and it has been such a great stepping stone in our goal to reacclimate K to a structured school setting other than Mama School. PBC, thank you! We are grateful for the fun that you have provided to the community. (Posted from MamaGooLiving.com)

My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.
