They allow more kids than they can manage to attend. My daughter didn't even get a second snack because the line for snack was too long. When I complained to the director, I was basically told that it was my kids fault that they didn't get to do any of the activities, as kids choose what they want to do. I will not be sending my kids to this camp ever again and I am telling my nieces and nephews, who were scheduled to go next week, to cancel.

This camp is incredible! My children (ages 9 & 5) liked that they could choose the activities they…read morewanted to participate in throughout the day. They especially enjoyed the sewing and baking rooms where staff could assist them in these experiences. My kids also liked the special activities for different days that were in addition to the activity rooms. They had a blast with the go karts and thought the reptile and birds special presentation was really neat. My son was thrilled to participate in some sort of game show-like competition where he was proud to win this multi-colored poop emoji hat. I like this camp because it's convenient for parents. All I need to do is send my kids with a water bottle; I don't have to pack snacks, lunch, or even sunscreen since it's provided. I appreciate that I can sign them up the day of camp and I don't need to plan ahead. I also appreciate the long hours of the full-day camp, but I can pick up my kids whenever it's convenient to me. I've always experienced prompt staff interaction with pick-up and drop-off. Lastly, the staff at the Manhattan Beach location were friendly and professional. Rachel, the camp director, runs an organized camp, responds to email quickly, and is very welcoming. Grand View is an ideal location to have Steve and Kate's Camp due to its ample space. We hope it's there next summer too because we'd all enjoy to go back!

My son was VERY reluctant in the beginning, he's a great swimmer but just apprehensive towards new groups and activities but Coach Kyle and the entire staff were so welcoming and supportive from the beginning. By the 2nd week my son was more eager and engaged and by 3rd week he wanted to show up early and get some practice laps. By the time he had to take the swim test he had so many timed practice sessions under his belt and was well on his way for passing and felt very prepared. He's doing his first Jr. Guards session this summer and already doing great thanks to Coach Kyle and the entire MCC aquatics staff. Cant thank them enough!!

I had a good friend locally who had a son who was a parkour fanatic and she recommended Urban Youth Park. We both received friend sign up bonuses, so hopefully that is still being offered if you're thinking about sending your kids to parkour class! The instructors were engaging and fun, and the classes decently structured. The classes are by level, not age. Open gym time is also offered and they frequently have fun weekend night time events, like nerf gun parties. Located inside the now struggling South Bay Galleria near the Macy's. Easy entrance from both the Macy's and the Q LUV side entrance. We unfortunately had to move again unexpectedly and the staff were very accommodating with figuring out how I can use the remaining classes I had already paid for the month. We wish we could have continued to come to the fun parkour classes here. My kids always got a great workout and left nice and sweaty. Thank you so much!

I've spent enough time here to separate a bad day from a broken system and unfortunately I think…read moreit's the latter. The facility has potential. There are plenty of fields and having indoor space is valuable. That's about where my praise ends. The biggest problem is the coaching. Youth soccer should be about development. Teaching fundamentals, correcting mistakes, building confidence and making sure every child gets meaningful instruction. Instead, the quality depends almost entirely on which coach your child gets. Some are engaged. Others seem distracted, chatting with each other while the session runs itself. Too many practices turn into kids standing around or playing small scrimmages with very little coaching, correction or individual feedback. Parents aren't paying to rent field space. They're paying for instruction. The environment doesn't help. Parking is consistently frustrating, the building gets uncomfortably hot and the indoor fields often have that stale turf smell that hits you the moment you walk in. The front desk also sets the wrong tone. Most visits start with staff sitting behind the counter without so much as a greeting or acknowledgment. For a place built around families and young kids, that's disappointing. One thing that continues to surprise me is how little attention is paid to what's happening around the active classes. I've regularly seen parents, older siblings and other family members juggling balls and kicking them around right next to training sessions. It's distracting for the kids who are actually there to learn and no one seems interested in managing it. What frustrates me most is that this carries the LA Galaxy name. You expect a higher standard of coaching, organization and professionalism. Instead, it feels inconsistent from top to bottom. If you happen to get one of the good coaches, you'll probably have a positive experience. If you don't, you've simply lost weeks or months of development. For a program representing one of the biggest soccer brands in America, "hopefully you get a good coach" shouldn't be the business model.

We asked if he would finally take his test next week and they said he should swim in another pool to see if he would be comfortable swimming in different pools with his clothes on.

I didn't want to believe it, but here we are 2 years later and my son still can't swim.

If you have classes/credits in your account- USE them ASAP. Because they have an expiration date!…read moreWhen you purchase a group of sessions - they call them credits. Had I known this I would have not purchased the package swim classes and would have just opted to purchase them one at a time last year . However, as of April 2025 it seems like their website no longer allows for you to purchase one session at a time anyway. From a customer service standpoint no one reached out to us to let me know that my credits would be expiring and that I should book a class soon. So that's a bit of a turn off and a bummer. We live in Hermosa so it's a good 20-25 min drive from our house to get there each time. I'm going to have to rethink whether or not we should continue with them or just look for a closer alternative at this point, given their expiration policy. Seems like such a waste of money. As for the instructor , my daughter has the best rapport with Carissa. All of their instructors are good though.

I asked if his bike was still small the first day since it appeared to be to me and since they are the bike experts supposedly I figured they would know. She said no it's just right and then the next day she said no it's way too small and he needs a bigger one so I bring a bigger bike on the fourth day but it makes no difference. We had done lots of practicing with him before this camp and he could do more than glide and then for the parade he only could glide and horribly. Right after my husband gave him a boost and he rid on his own with some coaching and help. Waste of money.

If you have an anxious kiddo, they will be left alone with no adult guidance or interaction outside the pool. The coaches are often on their phones on the pool deck (when not in pool), which is disconcerting, and older kids have phones out and kids (including much younger kids) gather around watching each others' phones. Kids can't unsee things on the internet, and this could be traumatizing. I'm not sure why kids are on cell phones at a swim camp. It's extremely concerning, but adults running it said it's fine since "they're probably playing games... " Aside from that, the coaches were nice and swimming improved.
