We have been taking kids on field trips here for 3 years. Best field trip ever! The camp and…read morecounselors are extremely knowledgeable in their fields and the camp is extremely nice. Yes, there is a play in the evenings that the kids participate in called Underground Railroad, but students are prepared ahead of time and a TON of thought goes into the "level" of intensity. It's perfectly fine and a good experience for students. The previous review is not accurate at all on the Underground Railroad.

I didn't even know this place existed before a few days ago, but it was a BLAST! I went with 2…read morefriends to try the knee boarding, it was first of all a very cheap day. $25 got us a generous 2 hours (20 minutes were added on as well for free) on the cable. The $25 was all inclusive of life jackets, cable ticket, board, and helmet. There are plenty of obstacles and trick equipment in the wake oval for you to try if you're up for it. I didn't fall off at all, but if you do, a potentially long walk awaits you to get back to the launch station. NOTE: Beginners should have good core and upper body strength. Some friends had trouble staying on the tow line due to the speed and jerky turns. I lift weights daily and do advanced hot yoga which really helped. You will get tired and need to take breaks too, they have a nice patio area for that. All in all, I'll be back and up for trying full wakeboarding next time. It's a cheap, fun (if you can stay up/hang on), and unique experience!

Had a good experience last summer at a birthday party here. But disappointed yesterday at the Aqua…read morepark. Inflatables in bad condition- everything dirty and a lot of them only half or less inflated. All but one of the slides were too sticky to slide down, where it was actually painful to get down them. The one slide that did semi "work" landed us INTO the rope that's supposed to divide the area off from wakeboarders. Safety wise, the division of this play area from the wake board area is too close to equipment- made me nervous for the kids I was with. Last to note is the goose poop situation- just WOW. Aquapark just needs some maintenance/cleaning and safety eval and could be great! Too pricey for current condition.

This summer camp is for you if you like music at all, but especially if you're into barbershop or a cappella music (think Pentatonix, Straight No Chaser, Street Corner Symphony, etc.).

I am a VERY skeptical person and I do not let my children to go to with strangers overnight anywhere. His teacher convinced me to let him go the first year. Last year he came back raving about the camp and asking to go to summer camp there. We weren't able to pull it off. But, after hearing his excitement I had no problem letting him go this year and tagged along. Impressed is an understatement and all of my concerns were calmed. The amazing staff made everything an adventure and kept the children smiling and happy. I don't think the kids realize how much they learned. He wants to go to summer camp this year and I will be letting him go. His sisters too (if they want). This is an excellent place and I can see it being part of his future beyond one summer.

I feel they really treated me well in terms of handling some surprise extra guests, getting the pizza and soda, the host was super helpful. The whole experience was a win. I think it's a little less, OK may be a lot less, noisy and distracting and wild than Scene75, and that's really good for kids that are a little more introverted, or a little younger. I think the younger ones and the quieter ones still can have a good time at get air, where they don't actually have that good of a time at the noisy places. The cashiers know their stuff, and they are just engaged. I walked in carrying some stuff in the first thing they asked is "do you want a cart?". They didn't ask about money first, they focused on returning value first, and I like that emphasis on the humanity.

As someone who loves to work out at recreation centers and…read morehas been to many throughout her life, this one takes the cake as one of the cleanest, most modern, and largest. It has an indoor fitness pool, an outdoor pool (looks like mostly designed for families with kids), an ice skating rink, a huge weight lifting and cardio machine area, multiple group fitness rooms, and a full-sized basketball court (that they use temporary drapes to turn into multiple courts for pickelball or pick-up basketball). There's probably more I'm missing. I've never actually walked through the entire place. They have a ton of community and fitness programming for the area. From 8 to noon then 4 to 9 most evenings, they have different fitness classes going on. They aren't just your basics either. They have enough TRX bands to support TRX classes or some of their strength-based classes use workout areas they've had installed. They have lots of spinning bikes and classes the support them. I've never actually encountered any machine or part of the fitness center that didn't work. Everything is well-maintained, and I've never even encountered an empty cleaning spray bottle before. The biggest "issue" I've had is when the water tastes a bit off because the red-light says the filter needs to be replaced on the water fountain. Prices aren't cheap, but they aren't expensive either. When a yoga class elsewhere will cost me $40, it's only $11 here at Kettering. If you get one of their multi-class passes or a membership, it's even cheaper on a per-class basis. They have lots of kids camps and kids activities including some homeschooling group play classes and more. I haven't paid much attention to the kid things, but I know they have some! Great spread of bodies and ages here too. You'll mostly see older adults, and it's really refreshing to see a ton of different types of people instead of the college-aged adults. Everyone here is super friendly, and it's clear a lot of the community uses this place as a great place to see and hang out with friends while staying active. Huge parking lot, but if there's a lot going on (like a kid's hockey meet), there have been a few times I've been unable to find a single parking spot in this beast of a parking lot. Bathrooms are clean too.
