The coaches are AWESOME, so great with the kids even in difficult moments. The kids had a ton of fun and were spent by the end. One parent actually said "Best birthday party ever!" Additionally the whole staff was extremely accommodating! Just a superb experience. We can't recommend them enough.

My 12 year old son joined in the courses and activities and he stated the Parkour portion was too long and he enjoyed more of the nerf wars. The party was 2 hours indoors on the course. It is very compacted in a small space for the taller kids. They only allow one kid to go at a time because of the spacing. At the end of the indoor activities they had everyone go to the back patio and this is where food and cake was done at for one hour. Not enough seating for everyone in the back and many had to sit on the asphalt or the dirty fake green mat they had out there. Getting portable benches or tables for the backyard would make it more appealing for parties. The stairs don't belong to the business and some staff came out rudely telling the kids to not sit on there. Perhaps a sign or a plastic chain across the bottom rail will also help prevent the frustration of the staff being taken out on the kids to not go on the staircase. The staff did help with the clean up after the event which was nice. Another reason for the removal of a star was because the door leading to the patio doesn't have any safety features on it. It swings inward and has no resistance to it and is the perfect height to nail a kid. Which it did hit the birthday boy right on the forehead. An adult going in while he was going out opened the door and he got a big bump and gash on his forehead. During parties a pool noodle or cushion over the door handle could prevent a lot of injuries. Also placing a tension spring on the door would also help so the door doesn't go full force inward. Easy fixes if they don't want to put a window in the door. This place is geared for younger kids. Age 8 and below. For older kids not much for them to do. Easy fixes can be done to alleviate many issues.

    My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

    My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

    It's been a tough year for businesses whose primary activities were all indoors. However, now…read morecoming out on the other side of things, I am so impressed with the space, capacity, and cleanliness of the Glendale YMCA. First of all, it goes without saying this is an older Y. The building itself has probably seen better days, but the condition of the courts, workout equipment, and weights are all great and just what you need to get a workout in. I primarily use the treads and free weights, and have never had an issue waiting for others at 7pm on a weekday. I also want to commend the staff member who showed us around the facilities for the first time. He was helpful and seemed genuinely interested in getting us on board as members. In Glendale you either get boutique fitness classes or overpriced muscle gyms. If you are looking for a reliable, affordable option, I can't recommend the Glendale Y enough. I'm not sure what capacity was like pre-pandemic days, but since we've started going last week it has always been populated but not crowded. Masks are also not required but it's quite easy to space out because - well - there's a ton of space in every room!

They are unable to properly handle or resolve even basic issues when problems come up. Unfortunately, there seems to be almost no real supervision or management in the gym at all, and there are absolutely no proper standards for maintaining the environment. The staff do not appear trained to deal with conflicts or unexpected situations, and when problems happen, they seem completely unable to resolve them properly. Honestly, this has been one of the worst gym experiences I've had. The environment feels chaotic, unprofessional, and poorly managed overall. I would absolutely not recommend this place.

Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. At first, we were worried--the younger ones might experience culture shock, and the older ones might feel bored just "babysitting" their younger siblings. But on the very first day at pickup, those worries disappeared. The entire ride home was filled with singing, laughter, and chants they had learned at camp. After dinner that night, they even put on a mini pep rally in our living room, proudly cheering their group songs together. From that moment on, we knew this camp was something truly special. Every staff member we met was incredibly friendly, welcoming us with smiles that immediately put us at ease. As outsiders unfamiliar with the American school system, we felt completely confident leaving our children in their care. The camp provided first-class entertainment, activities, and most importantly--safety. Camp Kids Klub gave our children an unforgettable summer, one that blended fun, growth, and community in the best way possible. Save us a spot, because we'll absolutely be signing up again next summer!

    My child has been at KidsKlub development Centers since kindergarten (he's now going into 3rd…read moregrade). We cannot say enough GREAT things about all of KidsKlub programming. This is the first year that my son is in the slightly older aged summer camp program at South Pasadena, and he is absolutely loving it! He comes home sharing about what they do (something he rarely does without coaxing) all of the trips that they take during the week, which at this time is three days out of five. He loves the counselors and leadership staff as do we. All of Camp KK staff is incredible. They are super responsive, accommodating, and most importantly, take wonderful care of the children. There are too many to name, but Ignacious, Debbie, the Executive Director, "Eor", "Crush", "Sketch" and "Smile" are but a few. Programming - I love that we can drop off as early as 730 am and pick up as late as 6pm. the children are taken to the beach every Friday, swimming 1x per week, and another super fun field trip 1x week as well. KK has been doing this for so long that they know exactly how to build the infrastructure to ensure our kids safety while having a blast. Thanks for making my son's summer exceptionally fun all while allowing us parents to keep our full work weeks in tact.

    I have to say I'm disappointed in Ms Billy. Initially she seemed like a great teacher - as my son…read morehad positive feedback and seemed to enjoy the class. Gradually my son would come home sad and upset. At first, I brushed off his complaints as maybe he just had a random rough day. Today, I picked up my son and Ms. Billy complained about his projects and all kinds of stuff right in front of my son. My son came to the car crying feeling terrible about his artwork. I asked him several questions about what happened as I didn't want to make any rash judgements about the teacher. He explained that he felt that Ms. Billie was being mean to him and that he was really struggling with clay (it's a new skill for him). I asked if she helps him with his clay a little extra since he's obviously struggling more than the rest of the more experienced students (I'd think she'd spend a little extra time with him). He said no - she was drinking tea and when she came back he had made a snail project where its tongue broke off and couldn't put it back on. He said he destroyed it and my son said she made another mean comment to him: "ohh so you're breaking stuff, instead of making stuff". He was struggling to put on the tongue, which you didn't help him with. Ms. Billy told me it was Gary the snail which didn't go with the CA theme they're working on. Ok. My question is: how is one of your struggling students able to make an entire snail project without you noticing until he's that far along with it? Then, the tongue falls ogf of it, you make a comment to him about it being wrong, he destroys it, you make another comment to him about him about breaking things instead of making things. Ok. If she's going to drink tea instead of helping struggling students then she shouldn't be surprised about them struggling. He said she was helping the other students - not him so much. He also said he got up to grab a toothpick, and she said to him "you're disrupting the entire class" and he was embarrassed that all the kids stared at him. He wasn't being defiant but she keeps treating him as if he is. My son said he was really surprised at how mean Ms. Billy was treating him - he genuinely didn't know he was doing anything wrong, She did sound agitated when she was complaining to me about my son. I know my son - he's not a bad kid and he's super kind. I'm not just saying that because he's my son. He truly is. I'm the type of person that takes criticism well and I'm happy to help correct behavior when necessary. In this case, I really feel that Ms. Billy is not spending enough time with struggling students - in my sons case not understanding instructions according to her. I didn't appreciate her putting my son down in front of both my husband and I. Ms. Billy made it sound as if my son was being defiant - I can assure you my son is not defiant - he genuinely is just having a hard time with the project! He's asking for help from his teacher in his own 8 year old way. He just turned 8 by the way. Mrs. Elizabeth in the front is amazing on the other hand! Very helpful and kind lady.

The teachers here are incredible and create such a warm environment and sense of safety where children create and learn to their full capacities. I appreciate Ruby Hannan, Anayantzin Sanchez, and Billie Frolov who have all guided our kids in various classes & camps including Claymation, Make Your Own Stuffie, Mini Makers, and Youth Lessons. We've also been to some cool events here for children, our favorite being when they invited the animators from the new Ninja Turtles movie/Mitchell's Vs. the Machines to come talk to the students and show them people can become animators when they grow up! Truly an inspiring place where children come to explore and create their own art. So thankful to have found this studio! *also editing my review to add that I specialize in a field of child development & communication; I respectfully disagree with the parents below who claim this place is merely a bunch of babysitters or that their children didn't learn anything during their time here. I've been so impressed the way the educators here scaffold the summer camp in a way that the older kids are making Claymation videos or sewing stuffies alongside the younger ones. No one is so frustrated that they can't participate and at the same time these kids are challenged!! My children had increases in their artistic abilities, social skills, vocabulary, fine motor skills, ability to use technology to create art, and I would go so far as to say even their overall self esteem, as the final art show is truly a special time for families to come together and celebrate what these children have created with the guidance of some awesome instructors. Sorry, but I could go on! The only time I've ever seen the tv on at Art/Work/Place was during the gorgeous, hilarious, magical Claymation Camp viewing party a year ago and the time the Ninja Turtles animators used it to show us some clips from a movie they made. Again, context matters.... Let your kids give them a try and decide for yourself :)
