As a young child, I did not have many friends. The kids at my school saw me through a fixed lencse…read more I was strange, aloof, and unwanted. My mind was too abstract. I never truly felt a part of a community, until Camp Wingate*Kirkland. School is a place of boxes. Everybody fits into one; artist, athlete, gamer, math nerd, weirdo... At Camp W*K, there are no boxes. We choose new activities everyday. You can be an artist who suddenly falls in love with tennis. A camper on the soccer field can be best friends with a camper in the library. You can do, try, be whatever you want to. No one will judge. No one will comment. The connections I've made there I will never lose. Camp W*K taught me that I am not in a box, I am not worthless, I can make deep connections, and I can be the person I mean to be.

When we had to climb up and walk on wires I almost peed myself. Luckily for my the wire did not break and I did not fall to me impeding death. So you guys should definitely check it out!

But succumbing to this tourist attraction was just plain good for the soul. We had a large group with little ones ranging from ages 1-8, and some 40 y/o-ish adults who were child-sized and/or child-like at heart. This made for one of the best memories we've made on this island. There was something for everyone. The 1 yo was saying "Argh" by the end, the 3-5 yo's were thrilled to be in the action, and even my 8 yo who I thought may be slightly too old for it got into his "Salty Dog" character, and asked me at the end, "How did they coordinate something like this??" We adults were laughing the whole time. The crew was fantastic, and props to the newest pirate Riptide who would come check to see if the baby wanted to partake in the revelry ;) My sixth star is for the precision and attention to detail, going the extra mile (personalized kids' "pirate name" tags made in advance), good people all around. Each time you thought, this couldn't get better, they would one-up themselves.

But more importantly, the owner and her staff are fantastic. They are so nice to my 3 year old son. They are patient and kind and I trust them 100% to take care of my son. They have a ton of classes on their schedule to accommodate families with even the busiest schedules. For little ones like my toddler, the lessons are more about gross motor, balance and coordination skills rather than actual gymnastics moves though they do actually sprinkle in some actual gymnastics stances even for the little guys. They also have two free play times each week that any member can attend so that the kids can get exercise more than just on their class day. During the winter months I worry about my son getting enough exercise, so this is a real plus in my eyes. Tumble Fun also hosts birthday parties and sometimes have "kids nights out" where they take care of the kids in the evening, let them play in the gym and give them treats to eat. Oh, and they have a bouncy house INSIDE the gym! I think that's totally cool. :) So to summarize, this gym rocks! Sign your kids up for the next session. You won't regret it.
