Their original booked venue dropped them without consideration after his military schedule changed, leaving us without the deposit and with just a month and a half to recreate their wedding plans. To say we were stressed would be an understatement. Then I called Coto Valley Country Club, and Angela welcomed us with open arms. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly understanding of our situation and the extremely tight timeline we were facing. She immediately put us at ease and made us feel like we were in good hands. Angela went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, including the things we had planned and the many things we hadn't even thought about. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and especially her calm and reassuring demeanor made what could have been an overwhelming experience truly enjoyable--from the very beginning all the way through the wedding day, and even the day after. And the result? Absolutely breathtaking!!! The wedding was everything our daughter and her fiancé envisioned and more. The natural beauty of the property alone makes Coto Valley Country Club one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Orange County--and trust me, we visited many. But what truly sets it apart is the people behind it. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the wedding for weeks afterward. They commented on how beautiful every detail was, how personalized and thoughtfully everything was handled, and how every vendor was truly a 10 out of 10. As a mother, being able to help create such a beautiful and memorable wedding for my daughter meant everything to me. What started as a stressful situation with an impossible timeline turned into one of the most special experiences we could have asked for. A heartfelt thank you to Angela and the entire Coto Valley Country Club team for making our daughter's wedding so beautiful, seamless, and unforgettable. We will always be grateful--and we would recommend this venue without hesitation to anyone looking for the perfect place to celebrate their special day!

That being said, I believe it's the best school in OC and one of the best in the country--as its top 40 National Ranking confirms. The academics are second to none, especially the International Baccalaureate program. It more than prepares the students for college and offers some of the best counseling. The arts program is also superior. The theater program won the top prize for high school musicals and have also had several best actor and actress awards. The orchestra and choir are also top-notch winning their share of awards as well. The sports program is well known and established as one of the best as well. Not only do they win CIF titles in football, basketball and baseball, but also in soccer, water polo, golf, etc. The school makes an effort to be excellent at every level. It doesn't just focus on one area and forget about all others. Instead it makes every effort to provide 100% support behind every endeavor.

My three children absolutely love going to the Kid Zone! The teachers are wonderful, incredibly kind, and know each child by name. They always have all sorts of new activities and fun crafts for the kids to do every single day. Knowing my little ones are happy, safe, and well-cared for makes my time at the gym completely stress-free. The workout classes are phenomenal. All of the instructors are super skilled, supportive, and truly take the time to get to know everyone in the class, helping to build a genuine sense of community. Beyond the staff, the members themselves are wonderful--everyone is so kind, constantly greeting each other, and sharing compliments.

My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.
