It is not too far from home and very new and clean. I am guessing this camp is less than five years old but the construction and thought process behind the layout is wonderful. They have a huge slide that goes into the lake. They have a theatrical theater, new, clean, very nice cabins that have AC. They keep out fresh fruit as snacks, and my daughter being a vegetarian had no problem at all. The leaders of this camp base everything (from what I can tell) about developing your daughter into a strong independent person. They stress the great women in history and the impact they made on our lives. They lead your child into coming home full of confidence and pride in the things they accomplished with out your help. My daughter did one week last year but it will be two this year. This camp made a huge impression on her life and I am excited to see how she grows in the next session this summer. This is a very nice safe and protected place for you child. I often look at the picture on her wall hanging out in front of her cabin , messing around with her friends, having the time of her life. Sincerely, Papa Bear.

My daughters have been going to this camp for 5 years. Every year, they count down the days until…read morethey can go again. It's been a magical place for them. I'm so happy that Piper and Popsie (the leaders) have been part of our lives. Some of my favorite stories my girls have shared.... When my youngest daughter went for the first couple years, she had a "big sister" from the 9th grade leadership girls. The big sisters are supposed to grant wishes for the little sisters. Well, my daughter wanted to stop time. So, her "big" got everyone in the camp to agree that if my daughter yelled "Freeze!" in the dining hall, everyone would stop in place for five seconds. It was an empowering moment to know her wish could come true in such a creative way. Another year, my older daughter was struggling with some friendship issues. When the counselors ended up giving her the firelighter award - as someone who represented the spirit of camp - her entire self-perception changed in a very positive way that carried forward out of camp. This year, the middle school girls wrote everything they didn't like about themselves on post its, stuck them on their counselors, then ripped the post-its to shreds... so they knew they could destroy the power those things had over them. On top of all these amazing self-empowerment moments, camp is just fun! My girls come back learning new songs, happy about new friends, and exhausted from having so much activity for two solid weeks. And they even rave about the food. We heart CLC.

I am beyond pleased with Stepping Stone School! My daughter has attended since she was just six…read moreweeks old and is now two years old, and it truly speaks volumes that the majority of her teachers from earlier classrooms are still there. Every morning when we walk in, my daughter is greeted with so much love from Miss Emily. They even talk about Miss Emily's four cats, which always brings a smile to my daughter's face and makes her feel so comfortable and connected. Throughout the day, Mrs. Chelsie often stops by her classroom to visit, take pictures, and share updates with me, which means so much. As a single mom and a natural worrier, having that consistent communication gives me such peace of mind. I genuinely have no worries when my daughter is at Stepping Stone. They truly treat us like family with daily updates, check-ins, and even phone calls when my daughter misses a day to make sure everything is okay. At Stepping Stone, my child is never forgotten and is always well cared for by every teacher she encounters. Mrs. Melissa has also left a lasting impression on my baby girl. Even after transitioning classrooms, she continues to check in on her, making sure she's doing well and thriving. I am incredibly grateful for the love, care, and dedication shown to my daughter and our family. Stepping Stone School is truly a special place.

If I could give fewer than one star, I would. This review reflects my personal experience as a…read morelongtime parent at this daycare and my opinion after several years of repeated concerns about safety, supervision, and communication. In my experience, supervision has often seemed inconsistent, and I have personally felt uneasy about how safety situations were handled. On one occasion, my child managed to leave the classroom area unnoticed, which was extremely upsetting. While staff responded once they were aware, I was left feeling that better safeguards were needed. During another incident a few years ago, I witnessed a staff disagreement that happened in front of families. It was very uncomfortable and left me questioning how well the administration manages staff and parent communication. In my opinion, classrooms often appear overcrowded and understaffed. I've observed one teacher overseeing a large group of children, and I've heard staff express frustration about not having enough help. Because of this, I've felt that my children weren't receiving the attention or care I would expect, especially given the cost of tuition. My younger child often came home needing a diaper change after long days, which made me concerned about how often he was being checked. Despite bringing this up with leadership multiple times, I didn't notice improvement. On another occasion, he was hurt while playing, and I felt that the follow-up communication could have been handled more carefully. I've also noticed several facility issues -- such as unlocked windows and peeling paint -- that made me uneasy. When I mentioned these to the director, I didn't feel confident that they were promptly addressed. Over the past year, I've been contacted by licensing agencies and have also reached out to the corporate office myself because I felt local leadership was not resolving issues effectively. In my opinion, the facility's priorities seem to focus more on image and parent reviews than on meaningful changes to support children and teachers. I was even asked to post a positive review, which made me uncomfortable given my experience. For a program that is among the most expensive in the area, I expected a safe, nurturing, and well-managed environment. Unfortunately, my personal experience has been the opposite -- disorganized classrooms, inconsistent supervision, and leadership that feels overwhelmed. Parents considering this center should, in my opinion, visit in person, ask questions about safety procedures and staffing, and make an informed decision based on what they see and feel comfortable with. I wish I had done the same much sooner.

The program has provided her with an opportunity to graduate to a counselor someday and it is her biggest life goal. As a helper at the moment she truly relishes the opportunity to be a leader to the younger kids. McDonald Ranch was her first exposure to riding horses and to farm animals in general. This experience has been life changing for our whole family. Richard and Linda have a difficult job dealing with kids and parents who aren't always easy. They are kind, and fair, and patient. They have provided transportation to their program, which would have otherwise been impossible for us. It's not fancy but it is real life.

They said said that they would do Covid restrictions and turns out they didn't but that's not why I wouldn't recommend sending your children. My daughter went for one day and I got a hysterical call from the lady owner saying that my child was horrible and acting out and she was kicking my kid out. I was shocked. When the husband dropped off the children I asked him about it and he said that he didn't know what she was talking about and that my daughter had been wonderful that day. I asked my daughter what happened and she said the wife started screaming at her after she drew a rainbow flag during art time. The Husband was surprised at this and apologized. I called the wife to ask her about this and she started yelling at me. It was awful. The next day I found out that a co worker had sent their son there the previous year and the wife had yelled at the boy and kicked him out of the camp after he said he had two dads. Not only was this traumatic and Homophobic, we were stuck without a camp for the rest of the summer without having broken any known rules. Do not send your kids to this awful abusive place.
