Jim is a true gem, he challenges the kiddos to be active participants in their learning. The most impressive part is that he treats each kiddo with the same respect he would treat an adult. Too often kiddos don't get this same level of respect and when you are able to find a human who truly appreciates and is interested in interacting with kiddos you have to celebrate them! Thank you for being a great teacher and learner Jim!

My daughter was very excited to attend her first day camp this summer. I filled out her medical…read moreinfo, letting them know that she had been diagnosed with separation anxiety and asthma. I expected and received a phone call on the first day. I discussed with the counselor what coping skills worked best with her. On the fourth day of camp, I received a call saying that she has attempted to assault a counselor. I rushed in to discover that she had been crying, wanting to come home and had just been told "no. You have to participate with the rest of the kids." I was told by the counselor that she had been wheezing all day, and vomiting. When she went to hug the counselor (counselor told me herself that she opened her arms to invite her in for a hug) for some comfort, she was mouth breathing at this time as nothing was done about her asthma even with an air quality alert. They accused her of attempting to bite and refused to allow her to finish the last day of camp. There are 3 times they should have called me before this moment, 2 of which were medical emergencies and could have resulted in hospital visits. I made the mistake of thinking that because they call themselves "Christian based" that my seven year old would be treated with love and kept safe. Instead she was out into a dangerous situation and then criticized and accused of things she never did.

I remember going here on a field trip in the 8th grade. During the reenactment of The Underground…read moreRailroad, there is a part of it where our group hid underneath a house in complete pitch black darkness. During this, I couldn't see anything and was sexually assaulted by multiple people. All I could do was swat the hands off of me. We were told to be completely silent under the house because it was a scene where the police asked the people living there if they had seen any escaped slaves. It was the perfect storm to sexually assault somebody and nobody will ever know who did it. I was 13. I feel like my teachers and the employees failed me. I'm 26 now and I've carried it with me all of these years. If they are still doing these field trips, I really hope they added a light under the house, even if it's dim lights so that you can see what's happening around you, or cancelled that part altogether. I hope it hasn't happened to other little girls.

I am a VERY skeptical person and I do not let my children to go to with strangers overnight anywhere. His teacher convinced me to let him go the first year. Last year he came back raving about the camp and asking to go to summer camp there. We weren't able to pull it off. But, after hearing his excitement I had no problem letting him go this year and tagged along. Impressed is an understatement and all of my concerns were calmed. The amazing staff made everything an adventure and kept the children smiling and happy. I don't think the kids realize how much they learned. He wants to go to summer camp this year and I will be letting him go. His sisters too (if they want). This is an excellent place and I can see it being part of his future beyond one summer.
