    Two fantastic participants

    Some of the best life experiences I've ever had and now I get to share it with my daughter. The Monarchy family is forever a recreational treasure of the valley and I recommend it to anyone who wants their children to "grow through participation"

    Great Day Camp for kids of all ages…read more Staff are wonderful; upbeat, kind, and happily answer questions. The number of established activities + daily activities is impressive (magic show, bounce houses, slip and slide). I can't speak about the food quality, however I appreciate the options and my kid never complains about what he gets. The grounds are clean. Playground is huge and offers many activities. Side note: VR headsets are offered. They do not age gate these to the recommended 13 years. So I was none to pleased to learn my under-13 kid used them. They know better now. But yes, VR is not appropriate for the growing brains of younger kids

    My son has been going here about 2 years now. It used to be fantastic: they had projects where you…read morecould bake bread, stitch a pillow, and stencil art. This year, though, none of those were available, and the kids were relegated to playing outdoors and eating lunch. When I would ask my son what he did that day, he would shrug and say, "Played on the jungle gym. What else?" It's disappointing because there was no reason given as to why they stopped doing these projects. They are still charging the same price - a whopping $645 per week (!) without all of the benefits. Maybe some of that is going to the overpriced meals they are having catered from Panera, which is charging something like $10 for a cup of soup last time I checked. Maybe we're paying for the counselors' meals as part of the charges. Who knows? There is no itemization, and parents are kept relatively in the dark about what goes on at camp every day. There are no field trips or swim days, so it is unclear *why* the charges are so high. I packed my son snacks every day, but he said he's not allowed to eat them, and true enough, when I picked him up, his snack pack was at the front gate, not allowed into camp. He said the camp itself provides no snacks, so it's unclear how Steve and Kate's Camp expects campers to survive on a cup of soup and hunk of bread while playing outside all day. Kudos to the person who wrote the little ditty on the badges, as that was very cute (photo attached). I hope they improve their program next year, or we will be looking at other options.

We know we wanted to do some kind of art party but wanted to be unique. We found that at Art Rebel for a glow in the dark art party. Ponti, the owner, made this birthday so special for our 6 year old and all her friends. From the beginning he was so easy to work with and very communicative. Ponti has kids birthday parties down to a science with different activities planned out that all the kids loved! Him and his team handled it all while we got to relax and chat with other parents. On top of that, we didn't have to worry about goodie bags because all the kids went home with a couple pieces of glow in the dark art that they made. There was a separate, and massive, room for food and drinks so when cake cutting came around it was so easy. Also he made setting up and packing up so easy. If you're looking for something different and special for your kid's birthday, I can't highly recommend Art Rebel Studio enough!

Ana and Tammy are very special to us, their encouragement, support, and enthusiasm is truly the best. And Emily is so wonderful, creative and caring. Everyday my son came home with a super cool project, led by a prompt, or from the tinker table, where the possibilities are endless. The environment at this camp is exactly what my sensitive kid needs... he feels safe to be himself, and go outside his comfort zone, while having the support from each and every staffer and camper there. He's able to be creative, feel included, think outside the box, and learn new techniques. He has definitely become more confident taking on new projects, and feeling proud! This camp is pure joy and happiness.

    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.
