Open Meadows Farm is a horseback riding facility on a historic property set in the bucolic…read more country near Skippack, Pa. They also run a Horseback Riding Summer Camp for children and most recently have been hosting children's birthday parties. We recently planned and attended a wonderful party there and were delighted with the results. The "Dragon" themed party was planned for a 6 year old with guests ranging in age from 4-6. Five was the perfect number for this party but the Farm allows up to 10 guests for two hours. The ponies were adorned with their "unicorn" costumes to the delight of the riders. Each pony was accompanied by 2 experienced handlers. Every child was required to have a parental waiver signed and were provided with a helmet for safety. I have never seen so many smiling faces before. Two ponies allowed for multiple rides by each child and that was something they really loved. Short wait time! The next activity was a wagon ride full of real hay around the beautiful and historic farm founded in 1774. Adults and children alike enjoyed communing with nature and enjoying the beauty of the day. Kids love throwing hay at each other and reaching high for overhanging branches. We moved onto the Fairy Garden where dazzling little fairies had been hidden in the trees, just waiting for discovery by the little party guests. I counted at least 22...there could have been more. For a small fee each child was able to "find" a special magic stone that had been hidden just for them. We had to drag them away from the Fairy Garden..they really loved it. On to the rustic barn which had been festively decorated with tiny twinkle light. We brought our own decorations, paper products and balloons and set things up before the guests arrived. A burlap covered table for the guests reinforced the farm atmosphere and an extra table was set up to hold the ice cream cake, cookies, snacks and drinks. An old wooden wheelbarrow was draped to provide a spot for the gifts. It was a great party and I cant wait to go again with another group. The Fischer family made it an absolutely perfect day for the children and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an alternative to video games and bouncy houses!!

Yelp has this listing improperly named. As usual, when I submitted a change to its correct name,…read moreMusser Scout Reservation, Yelp trolls refused to correct it. FYI, the correct name is Musser Scout Reservation. Musser Scout Reservation is a BSA designated scout camp for Cradle of Liberty Council scouting. This facility includes Camp Hart, Camp Garrison, and Camp Delmont in 1400 acres of MontCo along Unami Creek. My Cub Scout has visited for the Musser FallFest two seasons. Many Boy Scouts volunteer to run the different activity stations, and as teens themselves, they do a good job, but teens handling younger kids all day can be tiring for them and the end result can be hit or miss. Overall they do a good job and keep the kids stimulated. The first year our pack had everyone go separately according to their own schedules. I do not recommend doing FallFest alone. When you're not with a pack it's really up to parents to wedge their kid in edgewise at activity stations, and we encountered other packs who were pushy, cut lines, and selfishly commandeered ridiculous amounts of time on the popular slingshot (yuk!) activity, while others (like us) just needed 3 minutes to complete the requirement and move on. It's sad and disappointing when scout leaders themselves have zero comprehension of Scout Law or Scout Oath! Going with a pack (or as many other kids you know as possible) seems to be how the FallFest is best designed to process people, and it's a lot more fun for the kids to achieve these tasks with friends. We are in a different pack this year, and going as a group made the experience SOOO much better! The facilities themselves are consistent with Camp Hidden Falls (Poconos) and Chester Heights Camp Meeting (Glen Mills), which I frequented as a Brownie and Girl Scout decades ago. Musser facilities, like state parks and other scout camps, are a bit worn by the elements, and run down here and there from rugged use and lack of funding and/or (volunteer) staffing to keep up repairs. I noticed a bit of litter in places which was sad for a Cub Scout event, but Musser's facilities are overall in good outdoorsy shape. For our entry fee ($10 per adult/$25 per scout), and the fact that the staff is all volunteer, I felt the value was okay. The day includes a cafeteria lunch of pretty standard camp cafeteria food (hotdogs/hamburgers, potato salad, tossed salad, fruit, chips, granola bars, Oreos, and coffee, tea, water, fruit punch, etc for beverages). It includes all activities, including the popular archery, slingshot and bb (for kids older than Lion rank). My scout got to take home a carved pumpkin, a badge type piece of leather tooling work, and one craft. Oddly they kept his other craft made with a clothespin so they could reuse the clothespin--can they not spare a $0.10 clothespin? So it was overall a good value but some odd quirks. Last, having grown up Quaker, I'm wholly against guns so we do not participate in the bb activity. They have no problem issuing the FallFest patch as long as you complete most of the activities.

There is also FallFest which is a great time to come experience some of the activities that take place during the Summer. This is a great place to make lasting memories with your Kindergarten (Lion Scouts) through 5th grade (AOL or Arrow of Light) aged children. There is STEM, Scoutcraft, Handicraft, Boating, fishing, Native American area, a pool, a bouldering wall, a nature center, slingshot, BBs and an Archery range. This is Camp Hart along with Camp Garrison and Camp Delmont. All located on the Musser Scout Reservation in Pennsburg, PA. I spent 8 Summers as a resident adult leader with kids from K-5. The kids love this camp! There really is something for everyone here! My son loved boating, fishing, swimming, Archery, BB shooting....pretty much all of it. I had so much fun spending the time with him that I continued attending 3 years after he "aged out". The staff is always friendly. The food they serve has gotten much better over the years, 2019 being the best of all the years I was there (Chef Chris). You just have to keep in mind that he has to follow guidelines given to him for family friendly, nutritious foods. I will greatly miss my time at Camp Hart.

Our kids were pushed and talked meanly to by other kids and nothing was done. We told them to talk to counselor and they tried and were told it's just kids being kids. Our kids were often excluded because they are the quiet kids and not the aggressive kids. It was the worse experience and our kids left there feeling deflated and worthless. We then emailed and called Angela Russell and she never responded. This was THE WORST EXPERIENCE ever and I honestly would send my kids to the YMCA instead. There was no place for my kids to go when they were overheated or dehydrated. Absolutely horrible!
