The new coaches Mark and Zach will be with TRA for a long time and they've shown their professionalism along with their amazing coaching talents and skills.

Coach Sam (Samantha) is amazing. She is so good with the kids and is so consistent. I have also noticed that after every class my daughter knows what they will be doing on the next class which tells me she is a planner and she truly cares about being a coach. We are so happy we found this place. Thank you coach Sam for doing what you do. You shine out there!

We love the other two locations but this one was incredibly disappointing for their lack of cleanliness. Toddler time is a great opportunity for little ones to expel energy and UE offers that. However, I don't feel it is sanitary at all especially for the young ages that are there. They have chemical bottles just laying around that can easily get into the wrong hands. They had garbage laying around on and by the gym mats, even though it clearly says not to bring food in there ppl don't always listen. There was a staff member "working" but she was just sitting on a mat the entire hour and lots of rules were broken without care (shoes being worn, etc). There has been a broken light for quite some time and it's also a safety concern where the bulb flashes like a stobe. This can be extremely harmful to someone who has epilepsy and isn't a precaution that people aware about before they enter, nor is it something that they have fixed and has been like that for quite some time. There is chalk everywhere which is a given for gymnastics but this is so much then I have ever seen elsewhere and an asthmatic they can feel it in their lungs and you just see the dust in the air which is not good to breathe in. It honestly doesn't look like this place is cleaned even tho there are full chemical bottles just laying around. It just felt very unsanitary and gross. In comparison to the other locations in town, this one is disappointing to see their lack of care and attention. There really isn't an excuse for that neglect.

It rang up $79 total for our party of four. I would definitely recommend to bring wipes for your hands, to clean up, and a car wash afterwards because your car will be covered in saliva. This was quite the experience and very well loved!

I've been going to the camps since I was in about 5 years old. The towers was my first experience away from home overnight but I learned so much there met the Lord on a personal level and carried that throughout my life a relationship with him. I learned how to fish and archery, zipline canoe, sail, kayak, rock climbing and most importantly horsemanship one and two classes helped me build a relationship with the animals that I love so much. I just turned 40 this year and looking back over my childhood these were the best days of my childhood life I would never forget it and I will always suggest allowing your kid to go experience something like this. This does not mention the counselors in the level that they're on with the children is amazing, college students just loving on us kids you know living in an environment that they didn't have to be in but chose to be there for us is amazing

I think it played a huge part in me becoming an educator. During my observation this semester, my group of fifth graders invited me to their end of year camping trip. I was very excited about it and for good reason. I went to Pine Cove for a ropes course when I was about 13 and I knew immediately how much fun they were in for. Pine Cove operates on a mass level. They are a Christian based camp that has 8 different camps operating in the US. 6 camp sites are in Tyler, TX and 2 others are near Columbus, TX. The camp isn't slap you over the head with the new testament and try to convert you into my beliefs kind of a camp, rather, it's lets you experience God's beauty in it's natural form. Since I came with a public school, the Christian aspect (i.e. bible studies and quiet time) were not a part of activities. But I would have loved to take part in that with the camp counselors who seem to have amazing relationships and great appreciation for what they do! Since they offer women's retreats, couples retreats and day camps for youth....I'm sure that I will be getting to experience that aspect soon because I will defiantly be going back! Pine Cove offers a vast number of activities for youth of all ages to participate in. Their website offers adult retreats and conferences for all ages as well. The staff is wonderful with kids, literally amazing!! I didn't realize how much of an outdoors girl I was until was canoeing with my group of gals and didn't want to get out of the canoe! They feed you amazingly well, which, back in my day of camp, sloppy joes were the norm!, we got to eat BBQ baked potatoes and fajitas! Kids these days have it so good! Between the lovely set up with the cabins and the vast property that they have, you won't miss home too much! As a future teacher, this is definitely something I am keeping in mind as field trips and team building are being brought up!
