My son (5) and daughter (8) attended GrowFit for spring break 4/7-4/9 (2026)…read more My daughter was in a group with 8-13 year olds and her counselor in training was having issues with her boyfriend and told all the kids in her group about it. She told them she gets naked in bed with him and sucks on his....she then realized what she did wrong and told all the kids to keep it a secret from their parents. I've been told this counselor has been removed, but 1) why is a 14 year old in charge of 8-13 year olds 2) why isn't there a more robust training 3) what is the vetting process before hiring someone? 4) why are 8 year olds in the same group as 13 year olds? Don't ever send your kids here. My daughter's innocence was stripped away in a day.

I sent my 4.5 year old son here for summer camp and he loved it. The coaches treated him as if…read morethey were their own little brother and we really appreciate their enthusiasm, connection and personal attention to my son. There were multiple days that he came home and said Matt and Peyton are his best friends and multiple days where Matt and Peyton came up to my husband and I during pick up and drop off to greet us and give us a detailed report of how he was doing in camp. This meant the world to us. Thank you so much for a memorable summer and hope to see Matt, Peyton and team again next year!

Absolute trash. My son played a full season. The league admin is scattered and pushes dates,…read morepractices, locations. We played in a playoff game today where parents on the other team were literally banging on the bleachers and chanting and screaming to distract. Refs and admins did nothing. We're talking about 6-8 year olds. I'm happy to sit with anyone that is considering this half cooked league. There are some solid folks in the org but do not pay for this. Feel free to DM and I'll share many more orgs that are equally priced and better run. THIS IS A DISASTER

Beware - these people are scammers…read more I signed my daughter up for a summer camp that was advertised as being at St. John's in Glen Park (where we live). Literally the day after we signed up (and paid), we received an email from Legarza saying there was a location change to Stella Maris School. Since Stella Maris School is across town from us, we emailed Legarza to say unfortunately this would not work for us and we would like a refund for the camp. Legarza emailed back to say they would not issue a refund because we had not purchased their insurance / payment protection. Instead, we could only choose a different far away location or get a credit for another week. They also tried to claim they advertised the location as "tenative" - when that is absolutely not what their website said (we would not have booked the camp otherwise since, long story short, we only could book camp within walking distance of our home that week). Instead, only *after* paying for a spot, did their confirmation email state: "St. John School - San Francisco Pending Final Confirmation - We are confident we will offer this site during this week, however we have not yet received a final confirmation from the site. If registering we will secure your spot. If there is any issue we will likely find a similar location for this week, and our standard refund policy will apply." And, of course, their own email notifying us of the change said there was a "location change" and "We will be moving from St. John School to Stella Maris School." It's understandable when circumstances change, but it is absolutely unacceptable to try to force families to pay for something they did not purchase.

He gets exposed to so many different…read moresports (field hockey, soccer, basketball), and gets to spend time outdoors, while meeting new friends. It's held mostly at Sacred Heart's campus, but also at Burgess field. Coaches are super receptive to each individual child, coaxing them out into the fields and getting them to play (and patiently eat their lunch :D ) Alex's other highlights of camp include Joe's Friday BBQ (ALSO my favorite day of the week where I don't have to prep food), baseball cards for good behavior and special toys on Friday. We can't wait to return to this camp, I cannot rave about it enough!!!

But they also believe in winning and competing and as the kids get older the coaching gets more real. This is sports, after all, not finger painting. Our three sons have all had the privilege of being coached by Joe and his team and we are forever grateful. Our sons learned the value of teamwork, hard work and patience. They have learned how to win AND how to lose. Something kids these days are protected from for too long as they grow up. Joe will gently and lovingly push them to excel. Hi Five also coaches multiple school teams at Hillview Middle School in Menlo Park to the point where parents are fighting over who gets to have Joe as coach. In the 2021-2022 season at Hillview, two of his basketball teams won their respective Menlo Park City Championships.

I'm hesitant to write this review but as I trust the Yelp community's reviews to make decisions on…read moremy kids' camps, I hope this helps give insight to prospective parents. ** They left my 6 year old alone outside for an entire class session. The first day of camp had water play. My kid's shoes got wet so the counselor helped her put them in the sun and had her sit on a bench to wait. Then everyone went indoors for other activities, leaving my kid alone outside. She was not able to get to her shoes because the pavement was really hot. After a long time, she finally just ran over to her shoes. A counselor then found her and brought her to art class when they were cleaning up after the activity. I don't know exactly how long she was left outside on her own in the hot sun, but being that a class ended in that time, I'm guessing 30-60 minutes. She came home near tears. I called Tony who was 90% business-apologetic and 10% defensive (claiming that she might have only been out there for 10 minutes, as kids don't have a strong concept of time). ** There is NO check in and check out protocol. There is no checking off of names when they arrive, and no ID checking during pickup. And obviously no head-counting when camp is in session. ** I can't speak for all the counselors, but all the ones that I saw during drop off were quite young (teenagers) and just talking with each other rather than interacting with the kids. Some of them were chatting with each other as they made friendship bracelets. ** They struggled with enrollment this summer and sent us many emails the weeks prior, encouraging us to spread the word. This is fine and understandable, but I felt they took it too far when my daughter told me that they were telling the kids that "Galileo is boring" and negative statements about other camps. ** On the last day of pick up, my husband went to pick up my daughter and found Tony getting in the kids' faces and yelling at them, drill-sergeant style. Tony was saying how he was fed up and how they weren't listening. While I did not witness this, my husband was quite shaken up and wanted to file a report. (We didn't, and felt it was better for us to share our experience and let parents make their own decisions) All this being said, there are some positives about this camp. The material and communication prior to camp was impressive. Tony was responsive when we had the issue the first day, and he did follow up the following day to check in. He was also flexible with allowing my younger daughter to drop out earlier this summer due to schedule conflict and charged us a reasonable fee. My daughter did have fun at moments, and came home quite happy with her face painted one day. For us, the negatives outweigh the positives by a landslide, and we don't be going back.

She really improved his strokes and taught him various things such as a flip turn, two hand touch in butterfly and breaststroke, diving, corrected his breaststroke kick and his butterfly kick.

What a waste of a lovely pool.

All this and more for $40 dollars (3 kids and me). Waste of money, unfriendly, and will never return - what do they want kids to do in a pool - swim lengths in silence...???

Our ten year old went swimming almost every single day, and loved his field trip to the pinball museum. He made friends and felt very welcomed. Our seven year old loved his camp counselors and got a huge kick out of the pickle making activity and water day. Overall the staff were kind, attentive and very organized. I was told this was one of the more expensive camps in town--you definitely get what you pay for. Our kids are already asking to go back next year!

A transformative summer for my 9 year old rising 4th grader! My son often enjoys being at home…read moreplaying with his legos, reading, and playing with his brother. He is high functioning and can navigate most social situations, but this is what he prefers-- being home, playing independently and sticking to his happy routine. When I signed him up for camp Keff, I wasn't sure what to expect, as other than soccer he has never participated in anything like Camp Keff before. The first day we met his counselors, they asked all of the right questions and went out of their way to introduce themselves to my son and our family. The counselors were warm and introduced our son to other new campers in his group. My sense is that this was very intentional on their part, so as to foster a sense of connection amongst the newer campers. When we left him that day, he looked quite serious so naturally I went home wondering, "did I make the right choice encouraging him to get out of his comfort zone for a full 4 weeks (half of his summer break)?" Yes, that's right, we signed him up for 4 weeks knowing that no refund would be issued and it was the best decision ever! From that day forward, I dropped him off every day smiling and he would come home with an even bigger smile with so many camp stories to share! We weren't sure if he was ready to go on an overnight with the camp just yet, but as it turns out, we were the ones that weren't ready yet and he was LOL! He went on his first overnight with Keff and had an absolutely sensational time building forts, making crafts and eating s'mores by the fire. My son made so many new friends and even more wonderful memories I know he will cherish for a lifetime. He experienced so many new and engaging activities and with the support of Keff's well trained and experienced counselors, he was able to navigate things that have been more challenging in the past with ease. My son is already talking about going back next summer. His excitement and enthusiasm about all things Keff is a testament to the care and dedication with which these counselors approach their work of providing a safe and nurturing environment for campers to explore, play and create in! My only regret-- not signing him up for more weeks of camp. :) My many, many thanks and congratulations to the entire Keff camp staff on an epic summer of fun! Thank you for all that you do and for your care and commitment to the safety of our children!

We especially appreciate how the skills she's learned at UPB directly translate to her games. Over the past few months, she's been working on her pace, shooting form and taking more efficient angles to the basket. Her coaches' attention to detail and sharpening of fundamentals has really leveled up her overall game. She looks forward to every session and genuinely LOVES all of the coaches and staff.
