Wow, did we make the right call sending our two kids to camp here this summer. Selecting a summer…read morecamp for your kids is a very big decision and it's really important to do your homework and get it right. Having grown up in East Brunswick most of my life, I was nervous at first when my wife suggested we send the kids to Eagles Landing. I had attended Lake-Vu Day Camp for over seven summers and it was the best time of my life. I couldn't even imagine sending my kids anywhere else. Back then, Eagles Landing was Mill Road Day Camp, and quite frankly, Mill Road didn't hold a candle to Lake-Vu. But a lot has changed in the past few decades. For one, my beloved Lake-Vu Day Camp is now called *LakeView* Day Camp. To me, that is history that you just don't mess with. Something about that simple change turned the camp into a complete stranger in my mind. This name change apparently happened in conjunction with new owners purchasing the camp from the Levine family, who were among the most revered local celebrities in East Brunswick history. That the Levine's were no longer there was a concern for me. (Stick with me. I'm going somewhere with all of this.) My memories of Lake-Vu back in the '80s are some of the best memories of my life, and to be clear, I have nothing bad to say about the new LakeView. Our neighbors send their kids there and are very happy. However, when we spoke to others in town about where to send our little ones, there was a clear bias in favor of Eagle's Landing. And that's when I learned that the owner of Eagles Landing was formerly the Camp Director of the original Lake-Vu, who I vaguely remembered. He and his wife have an impeccable reputation in town, which was clear from all the great feedback we received from our neighbors and friends about how they've transformed Mill Road Day Camp into the beautiful Eagles Landing that stands today. So my wife and I met them briefly over the winter for a tour, and I immediately got a great vibe from both of them. It was also clear that a lot of time, money, and passion had been put into all the upgrades and renovations across the grounds. I was sold. We decided to take the plunge and signed up both kids for the summer. We also talked my brother and sister-in-law, who also live in town, to take the tour, and their three little ones are now attending as well. Likewise with our best friends across town who also followed suit, signing their two older boys up for the season. The rest is history in the making. Camp is now fully under way, the grounds are absolutely beautiful and more modern than anything I would have expected from a camp, and most importantly, our kids are the happiest I have ever seen them in their short little lives. What impressed me most was the orientation day where I got to meet all the staff during a full afternoon where all the kids and parents could swim and take part in all the camp activities. It was obvious that a very thoughtful screening process was used to select the staff, most of who are still young themselves. I could not feel more confident in the care and attention my children are receiving this summer. To run a camp of this size, you really have to know what you're doing, and you have to love what you do with tireless passion and energy. The decision to send our kids to camp here at Eagle's Landing is proving to be one the best and most important investments we've made on behalf of our children. Knowing how many of my favorite memories are memories of camp, I am so happy to see my kids making a whole bunch of memories of their own. I know they will cherish them forever.

Picking and choosing their enrolled children? Or are they racist?…read more Advance warning - long post I am (or use to be) a huge Goddard School fan. My first born went to two Goddard Schools, in #NorthBrunswickGoddardSchool and #BranchburgGoddardSchool. As I was expecting my second born, I obviously turned to one as well which is near my work. Also a current co-worker has one of there children currently enrolled and soon to be expecting her second one soon. So with no question asked, my husband and I (with another co-woker) went to take a tour of this facility. We were looking for January/February (2018) enrollment but was told there was a waiting list and the next availability would be in March 2018. I asked if there is anything we could do to ensure our spot for March, and was told by the owner Laura that taking a tour would put our name on the wait list automatically, nothing else needed. I went above and beyond with my work to get a delay start of March so my New Born could go to the Goddard school as preferred. I recently called at the end of November to ensure my son's guaranteed spot for March was still available. First, I spoke with the director, who was very standoffish on the phone. She informed me there wasn't any spots available until April 2018 now. I was SHOCKED! I had asked for the director, Laura who at that time was not available. Few days later, I had called back to speak with her and left her a msg. She left me a voice mail, stating "my director had informed you about everything already, if you are still unsure give me a call back." She's lucky that I did not hear that voicemail until I had called her back already, otherwise she would have gotten a piece of my mind. When I called back, Laura informs me that the next availability is early Spring, once I asked what that means she says Early May!!! I was very disappointed. Still keeping my composure, I had asked how is that possible and when was anyone going to inform me about this change..? I had sacrificed my maternity leave to ensure my son had a spot in March. She stated during the time of the tour that they would contact us when a spot was available a deposit was not needed because the tour was sufficient. The story changed when I inquired further. She explained that we do not call to let you know, if you want to ensure your spot, you need to put in a deposit." I was stunned! I told her that this is new and this information was not told. I continued on by saying that I had specifically asked her about a deposit and had brought my checkbook as well to make one. Her response was, "I apologize if you did not understand me, but this is how we have been doing it for past 23 years, this is nothing new." (talk about customer service people!) Biting my tongue and keeping my chin in mind, I had asked her if she could email me the enrollment paperwork since I wanted to have a guaranteed spot for next availability, I would try to drop it off or drop it in the mail with check etc. Now, 24 hours later, the next day, I have NOTHING! Not a single paperwork in my email inbox. Later that day, I had confirmed with both my husband and my co-woker who went with us to confirm if I was having a Pregnancy Brain and totally misunderstand her during the tour of having a spot available in March and tour is sufficient enough OR she did NOT mention any deposit? Both confirmed my understanding. So clearly Laura, you had provided me with wrong info and two other people confirms it. To make this even more interesting, my co-worker whom I recommended this place to, took a tour, and during the tour, she was asked to make a deposit. Now, her New Born has a guaranteed spot for March. As you can imagine, this is why I feel we are being ignored and purposely not provided a spot, interestingly enough, both of my co-workers are White. During the tour, I had noticed very little to hardly any minorities in the entire school. In the current New Born Classroom, there were zero minorities! And they are clearly going above and beyond to not only be very unprofessional, and providing me with wrong information to me just to ensure that my mixed African -American/ Asian child would not get into this facility.

They have a similar philosophy here - toys and songs can get kids moving well in the water. I've been impressed with their management team as well. I hope it continues on this trajectory.
