To say this camp program is ran very poorly is an understatement. Our 4 year old daughter went…read morethrough 2 other camps this summer and a full year of preschool without a scratch. We enrolled her in the Headstart summer program at Flint Hill for only 2 weeks and she was injured twice and required medical attention, each time more serious and the last time due to a broken hula hoop, which is total quality control and lack of supervision and care of the kids. It could have been a lot worse as it was close to her eyes. The management seems to be ran by unqualified individuals who did not even inform us the first time she got hurt until we pick up our daughter from camp. Stay away unless you want mediocre and carelessness for your child.

Our 5 year old daughter has LOVED her week at Headfirst (Multi-Sport, St. Albans). I'm writing this…read morereview because I had some concerns after reading other comments - but I think for most children Headfirst would probably be a great experience. It is an investment, but not out of line with other options in major East Coast cities. We are visiting DC from out of town and were all anxious before the first day, but the week at camp has exceeded our expectations. Other kids have been great and every interaction we've had with the counselors/coaches has been very positive. Our daughter has looked forward to camp every morning and informed me last night that she didn't want to go home because she "didn't want to leave" her camp. It's definitely a bigger camp, so that is a consideration if your child would benefit from a lower staff:child ratio. The counselors are on the younger side, but for us - this was a plus because the energy was high and infectious.

I had high hopes for Congressional Camp based on rave reviews from friends, but my experience has…read morebeen extremely disappointing. On February 1st, I tried to enroll both of my children for a one-week session to see if they would enjoy it before committing further. I successfully signed up my son, but my daughter was waitlisted. Since we needed both kids in camp at the same time due to work schedules, I immediately contacted the camp for insight into whether she had a chance of getting in. It took two days to get a response, only to be told that the waitlist had 130 people and she would not be getting in. Realizing that it didn't make sense to send just one child, I immediately requested to unenroll my son. Weeks later, I finally received confirmation--along with a $200 cancellation charge! It's absurd that there was no way to place my son on a waitlist before enrolling, forcing families with multiple children into an impossible situation. This policy is unfair and completely lacks consideration for working parents. If you have more than one child, I'd strongly advise against this camp unless you're okay with paying a steep fee for a situation that's out of your control. This experience makes me question the camp's priorities--would you want to send your child somewhere that doesn't understand the basic point of camp?

Here is what you need to know: + Garage parking is free on Sundays + Tickets are sent electronically along with a helpful email and storybook pdf that helps prepare young children on what to expect when they go to the theatre + The theatre is truly intimate -- there is not a bad seat in the house (Trust me -- we were last row, on the side of the stage and still had a great view!) + Children's shows can be quite corny and cut corners when it terms to production value but not at Imagination Stage. I was really impressed by the quality of acting and the set of "Dory Fantasmagory." + They offer lots of free programming such as "Meet the Cast", family yoga, and a children's fashion show to go with the play. I went with a group of children ages 4 - 11 and they had everyone entertained. Seeing everyone's faces light up and laughing out loud has truly filled my cup of cuteness for the entire week. Thanks again Imagination Stage. Can't wait to visit again!

It's all about the counselors, they are kind, patient, inclusive and so positive, even in the face of rowdy behavior.
