The kids enjoyed themselves and didn't want to leave. We came on a Monday so the parking wasn't bad and the Park was not crowded at all. Only downfall it was a super hot but we enjoyed ourselves. They have a concession stand that sells food or you can bring your own picnic set up. They have Avalon that you can rent or you can bring your own tent and utilize the picnic tables. The bathrooms are fairly clean, but of course there was no air circulating. I do wish they had some type of fountain where you could get filtered water from for free. Definitely on my to do list for next summer!

We decided to visit on a Monday with the hopes of a small crowd. Well it was not packed but definitely not a small crowd. You can pay $20 for parking inside or free parking outside. We decided to go with free parking and it was just fine! The ticket booth was a little crowded when we arrived right after opening. The line did move fast. The price was as expected for a water park at $35 for adults and older kids and $28 for under 2 and elderly. The park is open from 10am until 6pm and we spent most of the day here. The park has several picnic tables available. We decided to bring a tent to cover it. Best idea we could have thought of! They offer some paid cover sitting areas but they were booked. Our set up was perfect... just should have bought more snacks/beverages. The park has a wonderful kids area! It has a setup with the dump bucket and kids play area. The large pool area is my favorite part. The water was the perfect temp and felt clean. I stayed here most of the day. They have a few water slides near the top of the park. It had good selections for older kids. My kids loved this part! We did visit the concessions and the food was good! We spent about $13 on each meal. Next time I will bring food to save. They have a decent restroom area that was clean and comfortable. So will all of that being said... we LOVED this experience! 10 out of 10! Well done Spring Valley!

He is truly an experience in itself, aside from the magic he shares in chiropractic care. I called the office after tweaking my back at work. The receptionist offered me a 5:30am appointment, which I ecstatically accepted and confirmed. After an hour, I actually called back to be sure I'd heard her correctly. THEY ARE OPEN AND SERVING PATIENTS AT 5-FREAKIN-30 IN THE MORNING!!!!!!!! That alone is enough reason to commit to their program of total wellness. Back to my situation- I roll in and limp through the door, to be greeted by happy people full of energy and kindness. They verified my appointment and showed me to the room, where Dr. Cole (in full three-piece Christmas suit, mind you) proceeded to straighten me out. When I was leaving, I was informed that I held an outstanding credit from TWO YEARS AGO. Talk about a pleasant surprise!!! This place is friendly, clean, convenient, EFFECTIVE AND HONEST!

How can you not love a park on a brisk morning looking over a lake!…read more The playground area is made of rock base and there is a sand pit. We went in the morning around 10am and the park was not too busy maybe around 5 kids. It wouldn't matter though the park is pretty big and spaced out with fencing. So it is pretty easy to keep up with your child and not feel over crowded.. Plus as an adorable little bonus they do have a swing that is a wheelchair swing for children who are handicapped Just on the off-chance you go on the offseason it can be a little noisy during clean up but I always see that as a good sign because they're keeping the park clean and not many beautiful places are kept as nice as this one was being kept.. The trail has photo opportunities for kids and workout equipment along the way! Also tons of rest stops picnic tables and just beautiful views.. it also looks like there is a stage that could potentially be for music and you can rent gazebos with picnic tables under it.

After going to a movie my husband and I picked up a pizza and set out to find Sportsman Lake. Heading north on 31 we found the sign and turned left. After passing the fairgrounds we headed into the park area. We found an empty picnic table and devoured our pizza. The small lake is beautiful with an elegant white pier. There were a lot of people but the park is spacious so we were still able to enjoy a peaceful meal by the water. There were several pavillions which are perfect for family gatherings, a playground for the children, and even a little train but I'm not sure of the operating hours. Several families were feeding the ducks and geese and couples were taking a stroll on the walking path. I definitely plan to come back the next time we are looking for a peaceful place to relax.

He has praised the camp for his ability to learn, believe in himself, and do hard things never imagined before and has expressed interest in retuning next year.

For any parents wondering my thoughts about this camp I would highly recommend reading this. I respect that everyone is entitled to share their experience, but I also think it's important people hear from those of us who've actually spent a lot of time at Extreme Military Challenge. I've attended for about ten weeks across multiple years, including winter and summer cycles, and my experience has been completely different from what's described over there. Sure, this program isn't easy. It's built to be physically and mentally challenging, but challenging doesn't automatically mean unsafe. In all my time there, I never saw campers being denied medical care, all the sexual assault claims get taken very seriously, but having a group of 30 to 40 teenagers sleeping in the same room utilizing the same latrine somethings gonna happen that is not the camp's fault and as soon as the camp is notified about these situations, they take it extremely serious. The amount of kids that have gotten sent home because of making stupid decisions and being irresponsible is actually crazy. I never saw staff telling kids to keep secrets from parents, the silly chants? You mean Cadences? Yes those are to keep everybody in step while marching not for entertainment for the parents, and I never witnessed the kind of culture that's being portrayed in this facebook group. It was tough, yes, but it was also structured, and focused on building discipline and confidence. I'm not saying every single person will have the exact same experience I did, but serious accusations should be supported with evidence and handled by proper authorities, not assumed as fact because a post says so. This camp is designed for personal growth through challenge. Some people thrive in that environment, and some decide it's not for them. And that's okay, but not liking a program or struggling with it isn't proof of systemic abuse. This camp isn't just about discipline, perseverance, motivation, and physical activity. It is also about the fun and pride and joy you feel when you accomplish something that you didn't think you could accomplish before with some of the best people you will ever meet. I'm not speaking for the camp, I'm speaking as someone who lived the experience over time. For me, it built resilience, confidence, and the best friendships i have. I just want people considering it to see more than one side and to make an informed decision. Personally, this is one of my favorite camps I've ever gone to and met some of the greatest people and mentors in my life. Yes, at times it gets difficult, but also I've had a lot of fun at extreme military challenge
