Best learning center in town. Love the caring and friendly atmosphere and especially the quality learning experience. My granddaughter loves to go every morning! She is thriving here! read more

Smitty's Camp ROCKS! Daily my 7 year old would excitedly regale me of her day and all of the games or camp songs she learned. She even taught a few of those games to her parents! I particularly loved the "Bazooka Joe Bubble Gum" song she'd perform and sing. Smitty's is an "old school" summer camp. The kids get to swim TWICE a day! There's a nice pool as well as HUGE inflatable water slides! I typically sent my daughter in shorts, a bathing suit, and a long sleeve rash guard that would double as sun protection since they are outside ALL DAY! They also get to kayak, canoe, and go fishing! I love that even the little ones build confidence in learning all these new skills. My impatient daughter has *yet* to catch a fish but is wistful for that day to come. Every week is a new theme and they do games and crafts to compliment the weeks theme. My daughters favorite was Holiday Hullabaloo. "Monday is Christmas, Tuesday is Valentine's Day, Wednesday is Easter, and Thursday is HALLOWEEN!" My daughter joyfully informed me. The Minute-To-Win-It theme was also a hit. In between games there is also a playground and also a covered patio area where they can do crafts or read books. I have seen the older kids playing kickball on the baseball field in the mornings too. On rainy days they go inside and watch movies. Smitty's has such a FUN Summer Camp culture! I wish I had been able to attend something like this when I was younger myself. The main improvement Smittys needs is their front-of-house administration. Getting any resolution over the phone has been very difficult for me be it an emailed receipt or even a confirmation if could make a reservation for camp. You really have to go IN PERSON to get anything done unfortunately. TIPS: - Wednesday is Ice cream truck day so pack your little one some cash if they want some! - There is no on site food preparation for lunch BUT there is a water refill station as well as a Camp Store for snacks. - My daughter would carry a pound of sand home in her shoes so we had a rule that she would leave the shoes OUTSIDE! - Pack extra sunscreen for your child to apply after swimming or when needed. - They upload photos at the end of the week of all the fun the kids had to both their website and Facebook! read more

One of the last old school camps. They offer boating, fishing, sports, pool, slides, and fun in he sun all day. They are a little challenged for room inside when it rains. My girls have been there the past 2 summers and loved it. Made new friends, learned new things, and played outside without screens to entertain them. read more

I was not particularly impressed with this facility. I had my 4 year old here for about two months before moving her. The children watch too much TV (1-3 hrs per day) and the center is too small to accommodate children who do not fit into the typical 2/3/Vpk learning path. I was never concerned about her safety or wellbeing here, but it was too expensive for the level of education my child received. They did however offer a military discount (no naccrra) and worked with my employer childcare program as well. read more

I have had two granddaughters at Smitty's since June 2015 ( infant to age 5) and have only good things to say about the owners and employees. Either my husband or myself have dropped off or picked up almost everyday for the past 4 years so we have a first hand perspective, even though we are the grandparents. They have been safe, loved, cared for and received early childhood education. We will miss our Smitty's family as our granddaughter starts kindergarten but will be back next summer for camp. read more

Beware for summer camp. They are limited on space inside when it rains. They are forced to stay outside and in their swimsuits all day. When it rains they take the younger kids inside in their wet swimsuits. So they are going from hot weather and into A/C in wet clothes which caused my kids to be sick the following week. The older kids stay outside in a shed when it rains. Hello.. what about lightening?? Then they have a fly/ fire ant issue. My kid got ate up with fire ants and his foot swelled up like a balloon! When I got there to pick him up he was barefoot and a staff member was spraying ROUND-UP on the ground!! Hello.. that has been linked to cancer and they are using that where kids run and play! My kids said that during the day the counselors do not really watch them and do not help them when trying to learn how to fish. Another kid tried to push my kid under the water in the pool several times as well and nothing was done about it. Not managed very well and I will not be sending my kids back. This place has great potential but I think they are taking on too much during the summer as they are not equipped to have that many kids. read more
