I didn't buy the GROUPON but we tried out Debra Miller-Palmore's amazing boot camp for kids wanting to improve their basketball skills and their overall life skills. Her team puts the kids thru a 2 hour boot camp Tuesdays, Thursday (5:30 - 7:30) and Saturdays & Sundays (3 - 5) She's a retired Olympic Basketball athlete and she knows her stuff. She requests a minimum 3 month commitment and that seems like the perfect amount of time to help the kids improve their game. We selected the once a week plan. the cost for once a week is $190.00 per month, $45.00 start up fee include the jersey, bag, log, etc. It's hard work and the children will leave sweaty & hungry but it's surrounded by wonderful restaurants so we include that in our plan. http://www.topofthekey.com 770 465-1502 dpalmore@topofthekey.com

My niece goes to this camp all summer and never gets bored. This was her second summer and she is always making sure that I have her signed up whenever there is a school break, as TSOF also does break camps during City of Decatur school breaks, teacher workdays, etc. Knowing that each day is a well thought out combination of learning and fun is what makes this camp really work. If learning is also fun-well, there you have it-the magic combination! All of the kids are excited to be there, the staff is great and very attentive. Each time I am there I am greeted kindly, as is my niece. They are actually HAPPY to see us walk in the door! This is a novel and brilliant idea and finally, I feel my money is well-earned by Kris and her staff...not just babysitting and coloring. amy niece comes home with little electronic bugs, her mind filled with fun things she cannot wait to share with me. I also saw the group at a science fair and a festival in Decatur! Way to get out in your community, team!

You can tell kids adore her. :) We always look forward to our Wednesday sessions and are excited to continue with the new music collection. Special credit to whoever curates the playlist. The music is fun, engaging, and honestly so catchy that I often find it stuck in my head all day and don't mind it haha. I highly recommend these classes. It is a wonderful experience for children to develop a love for music and also have quality time with their parents.

Camp Scene is a summer camp program for children ages 8 to 12. Each one week session is full of…read moreadventures your child will never forget. Every day the Camp Scene bus (15 passenger vehicle) travels to different locations so that the kids experience the outdoors with an emphasis on environmental education. The camp director/owner Mr. Seitz is a middle school teacher. All staff members are certified teachers with first aid training. Last week my daughter attended their first week of camp. Among other events, she went canoeing, kayaking, rock-climbing and adventure swimming. She came home excited every day about the science lessons and gained a new interest in preserving the environment. In addition, she overcame a long-standing fear of being out on open water. This camp is a sure winner! I don't know if they are adding extra weeks this summer, but I know they are planning sessions all summer next year.

This is a fantastic organization that I wish was around when I was in school. This organization…read morepartners with elementary and middle schools nation-wide to promote healthy living for girls. They have coaches (usually teachers or school counselors) that coach the team once a week, talking about healthy body images, positive thinking, and healthy habits, like running. The organization has 5k 'races' where all the teams come together for a big 'race' and party. The reason that I say 'race' is that it is untimed and each participant gets a #1 bib. Everyone is a winner and it is all about being healthy and happy. I have participated in the 5k multiple times and the girls have such a great time. I had the opportunity to be one of the girl's running buddies for her first ever 5k. She was so proud of herself when we crossed the finish line. I just recently volunteered in their corporate office helping to prepare for the 5k happening this weekend. I filled goody bags, sorted the race bibs, sorted t-shirts,etc. They provided pizza, salad and drinks for volunteers, which I thought was very nice. I can't wait to help out with this organization again soon!

Not a safe crowd of people at all. Race itself: Very nice! Well laid out, good course, good course support. Simple to get to the start line and out of the post-race village.

This was our first time running this marathon which was in its 10th year. We were in for a big…read moresurprise as we expected a nice flat course. Clearly we didn't do our homework. The temperatures were in the 40s with gusty winds around 20 mph or more. It was our second marathon of the year and weekend and so we knew we wouldn't be comfortable. (The previous day Nicole and I had run in Chattanooga on Raccoon Mountain). The aid stations appeared to be about every 2 miles, which was good. There were three distinct food stations featuring orange slices, jelly beans, and Oreo cookies. To wash it down the electrolyte drink of choice was Powerade (blue, red and yellow) and of-course water. The course took you through at least three university campuses, a park system and quaint neighborhoods of Atlanta. I can't keep emphasizing the hills. They kept coming and coming! Despite the cooler weather which typically helps to increase course speed, this was not your PR course. The race swag included: a long sleeve shirt and a decent sized (although unattractive) medal 4" inches in diameter. Finishers got a lunch snack box, chocolate milk, water and a warming jacket to fend off the wind. Finishing in Centennial Olympic Park definitely was a nice touch and I felt like this marathon featured many different city segments.

They provide opportunities for elderly to engage with the volunteers delivering the meals, and this is often the only interaction some recipients receive. This interaction is beneficial to both the elderly and volunteers. Meals on Wheels offer volunteers of all ages the opportunity to give back. Training is thorough and interactive which is helpful since sessions are usually at 8:30 am on Saturdays prior to deliveries. Brandon is over the volunteers and always makes everyone feel truly appreciated. He explains the volunteer opportunities including packaging meals to delivery drivers and driver assistants. There are also onsite opportunities during the week to assist with front desk needs. Volunteers also aided in the signature fundraiser ' A Meal to Remember' to raise funds and awareness to continue serving Atlanta area residents. After volunteering with several groups, I decided to volunteer with MOWA to honor my dad's birthday earlier this year. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This led me to organize a service day with my alumni group as the VP of Outreach. Everyone enjoyed helping, from kitchen duty to deliveries. Lastly, served as a volunteer and auction team volunteer at the fundraiser last month. Meals on Wheels Atlanta is truly a resource that deserves our support and look forward to future opportunities to volunteer with them. Please check Instagram and website for ways you can assist too. #Mealsonwheels #givingback #elderly #volunteer4life *Update* January 13, 2020 Returned today to volunteer in honor of my Mom's Bday. Initially tried to do deliveries but discovered that it was not an option on Mondays and agreed to assist with meal preparation. My daughter and I were scheduled from 9 am to noon, but ended up staying until 1 pm. We braved the rainy weather and felt so good after helping prepare 720 meals. We package meals consisting of chicken casserole, squash and baby carrots in assembly line fashion with helpful staff including K.C. and weekly volunteer Billy. Brandon, the volunteer coordinator, personally welcomed us and took pictures. Everyone made us feel welcome and look forward to volunteering with Meals on Wheels in the near future.
