I was a camper, a CIT, counselor and a lifeguard. For kids…read morethis is a great environment. Tons of outside activities, arts and craft room, in a large swimming pool. They teach classes for swimming and when I was there they had a swim team. Each group is categorized by their age. In the middle of the summer we would put on a show for the parents to come in and see. When I was in my teens we would have her own swing pool one time during summer, we have sleepover and hope run a candy stand that was near the golf course. We stairwells I have a waterslide and a baseball game between the teams and counselors. Not sure if that still happens When I was a CIt in a counselor I believe we had uniforms. I believe we would help with the activities that would happen during the week. as a counselor would get paid. Ihope they updated some of the things. The events on the weekends would usually be business groups. We have different groups at different locations. Do you have lifeguards around the pool, staff to help with the food and people at the front to great.

The Vogelsinger Soccer Camp is as good as it gets at the Brooks School. I signed up my nephew for…read morethe 2 week program and he has enjoyed every minute of it. The facilities in the school are really nice. The location is in a quiet wooded area. The coaching staff is internationally diverse and the camp is run in a very professional manner. Well worth the money.

Horrible camp! Wish I could give a zero rating. Don't let the fancy campus and price tag fool you!!…read moreMy child was dismissed for the entire summer after just two weeks. This is his first camp. His behavior has been stellar at all places since he was 12 weeks old. He was every teacher's shining star. He rarely, if ever, had an incident. Most recently, he attended The Shed for a year without incident. One of his counselors at Brooks admitted to me that all the children needed reminding about using quiet hands recently. So it is obvious my son was singled out. He was bullied every day, yet no counselor apparently noticed. I called Brooks staff to share this. I trust my son's statements that the counselor's refused to help him when he was taunted and told him to "go away," or "leave" or "bye-bye." What do you as a parent when your child uses their words and receives such treatment? I'd get pretty frustrated. The counselors are poorly trained, they don't know their own camp policies (which one admitted to me in the parking lot) and the camp is terribly disorganized. Every time I spoke to someone different and they don't communicate internally, so some staff never communicated with anyone at the camp about any issues! Even the day he was dismissed, the person who called me said this was all news to them that I already had several conversations with Brooks folks. No one bothered to read the copious amount of notes I put in the application paperwork about what works and doesn't work for my son, which was asked of me. He was in early intervention when he was younger. This camp cost me $5,000 (over $1,000 a week, plus bus and meals). Not to mention they put all the kids in a room with nothing to do when it rains. I work full-time and I am a single parent. They have a "three strikes and you're out" policy and now I am left without any resources until the start of school in September. Never have I encountered such a level of incompetency overall and disregard for my child. Every one needs to be safe. I have no argument with that. But I have no confidence in Brooks' statements due to their disorganization and lack of consistency when it comes to communication and treating all children fairly. I had no insight into what lead up to the so-called incidents with my son which speaks volumes. That information is key for behavior modification so please be aware. Also conveniently, they have a no refunds policy if your child is dismissed. STAY far, far away. Next camp I'll be better prepared to make sure the environment is safe, controlled and the counselors aren't 14 and in training. I feel betrayed and ripped off BIG TIME. Nonetheless I am grateful to have learned from this experience and can share this with my fellow citizens.

We love the Goddard school! Our four-year-old daughter has been going to Goddard in Middleton…read moresince spring of 2017. We can't say enough great things about the school and also her teacher Miss Brittany. They offer various programs like soccer and chess and always find ways to keep it interesting for the kids with new fun activities. They have also had guest speakers for the parents and events like a Spring Carnival for the entire family. I was hesitant after reading the review here on Yelp about an abrupt closure a few years back due to staff leaving. The school is under new ownership since reopening and the owners Johann and Mark are wonderful!! I'm so glad we ended up here. This is by far the best child care setting we have experienced.

I'm truly angry at what transpired here. These kids will have their world, safe haven and friends ripped from them for no good reason what so ever. It was an amazing place and I feel extremely sad for the teachers, kids and parents. We will miss everyone greatly.
