My daughter went here a few years back when she was 6 years old. She was traumatized. They do not…read moreunderstand childhood developmental stages or individual children differences. They used high school teenagers to take care of the kids instead of trained staff, which was a disaster. Our experience overall was that they are intolerant and have a very hostile attitude both towards the kids and the parents. We ended up pulling my daughter out and we never wanted to go back there. My daughter was so happy when we pulled her out of what we thought was going to be a wonderful camp experience, especially with a school with the reputation that Avery Coonley supposedly has.

We had my 4-year-old daughter's birthday party at ArtSpace with a glow-in-the-dark princess theme,…read moreand it was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was so well organized and stress-free. The glow setup was magical -- the colors, decorations, and lighting. The kids were completely engaged the entire time and had so much fun painting. The staff was friendly, patient, and great with the kids, which made a huge difference. As a parent, I really appreciated how smooth everything ran. Highly recommend ArtSpace for a fun, unique, and memorable birthday party. My daughter is still talking about her glow princess party!

Awesome place for people of all ages!! Everyone was so nice and our group had a great time.read more

Do not recommend. My son spent 2 weeks in this camp. While camp is in a beautiful area, it didn't…read morefit. He was not allowed to call or talk to us parents at all, we had no connection to hear from him personally. Camp directors make sure kid will only write 1 happy letter per week, so that even if there are issues, you will only find out when the child is back. My son is a great normal quiet kid yet he was bullied there and we had no control over it ... This camp Is a hit or miss. Also, directors use shady tactics of making kids spend pocket money (that they insist kids need to have) on stuff they don't need. Like my son brought home t-shirt and blanket and something else they basically forced him to buy. I tried to return with no luck.

My daughter joined Swift Nature Camp last summer. The area and nature is beautiful. There was…read moreincident when my daughter got sick and she couldn't call home. The counselors refused to notify parents that she was really sick. They told her that she was home sick and that is why she wants to call home. My daughter is 14 years old and very independent, Swift Nature camp management refused to contact parents, they did not care. She was really sick and they gave her throat medicine. From our point of view this action was unacceptable. It showed that all they care is business. My daughter suffered so much that she came home crying and very sick.

The host was great with our son, the place was clean and organized, and it was a huge hit. The simplicity for decorating with just a banner and table clothes we brought was perfect and it was very convenient to have the rolling container to wheel all the presents out to the car. Would recommend!

The price increase from 2019 to 2020 is unbelievable! A $90 increase PER WEEK?? For each child?What family can budget for that? Unless the Camp activities and facilities have changed dramatically, this feels like a pure money grab. I did not think Park Districts were for profit. Upsetting, to say the very least. We miss Sarah, the old program director.

There weren't many intermediate or advanced pole classes I could drop into at Rising Goddess (mostly seems to series over a few weeks) so I took an intermediate hammock class instead. Easy to book but bummed that the level changed from advanced starting the week I was there. I was given the grand tour when I arrived. This is a MASSIVE space! Love how many pole, aerial, and dance rooms there are, as well as a kitchen for special events. Everyone was super friendly, to the point where I had to excuse myself from conversation because I was a few minutes late to class. Oops. Audrey was the instructor, and she taught so many fun and accessible combos! Not sure when I'll be back in Oak Brook again but would love to take more classes in the future.

This is my third year being a CSA member. Not only is the taste of the vegetables amazing, but…read morerecently it's been significantly cheaper than shopping organic at the big box stores. I go to the farm for pickup every week, and I love the variety, that I can pick and choose between over a dozen different herbs and veggies, the extras they often have, the UPick tomatoes and beans and etc. It's also such a relief to know where my food is coming from, that there are no chemical fertilizers or pesticides in it, that it's not downwind a feedlot so no chances of salmonella outbreaks in their leafy greens, that it hasn't been sprayed to ripen -- the peace of mind itself is invaluable. They have three seasons (spring, summer, and fall) that you can sign up for (that often sell out early, especially the summer season), as well as Thursday farmstands in the afternoon. Also, at the beginning of May they sell seedlings, with prices cheaper than The Growing Place, and most of the plants I buy from there thrive in my garden with no additions required (I put compost in the hole and around the base when I first plant them, mulch around the seedlings, and that's pretty much it, by mid-July I'm getting more tomatoes and basil and etc than I know what to do with).

I'll keep you posted.

It's an affordable gym with good parking and friendly staff. Very convenient for DG residents. However lately the quality has diminished. No one seems to care to keep the equipment or bathroom clean. They've let go of staff that worked hard to keep the facilities running smoothly. Towels are starting to look like rags. They've opened the track for free for non-residents and lucky us WE get to pay more. How is that fair?! In fact, since making the track free the quality of the gym has gotten much worse. I mean, If you're not paying for the facility why care right? Super disappointed. Despite multiple attempts to contact the district, they are unresponsive and uncaring. It's worth considering another gym that cares more. But if you're not picky and want low membership fees, give it a shot.
