I attended a birthday party here and while the lady upfront was very nice in greeting the children…read more The two hosts that ran the party were kind of rude. They rushed the kids through the use of the instruments and also the celebration. They were cold and didn't seem how to know how to be friendly when speaking to kids at all. Overall no one was happy with the service and effort put into making sure the kids have fun. Maybe they are just not great for parties but I was kind of surprised by how bad it was. Do better, your establishment is geared toward children. Perhaps hire people who like working with children.

All of the equipment we used was new and we were surprised to find equipment like the jacob's ladder available. The facility is meticulously maintained. The locker rooms have a relaxation area where you can sit back and catch up on TV (if you wanted to).

The bus is air-conditioned with a loving and trained bus counselor. The counselor facilitates activities on the bus. Our son loves going to camp. He was skeptical before he went for the first day. He told the counselor, "I didn't want to come but I changed my mind." He was hooked when he arrived. The staff are thoroughly trained. This is the only camp (that I know of) that has a mandatory week-long training. The staff are compassionate, knowledgeable, patient and flexible. Nature Place Day Camp is intuitive and thoughtful to each camper, rather than prescribing a "one size fits all," schedule driven, rules based mentality. The campers are encouraged to be curious. Campers exude confidence through this curiosity. The camp has daily swimming in their beautiful "pond" (a tasteful pool that looks like a pond). My son is learning how to swim! In the past, we have invested our time and money in swim lessons ad nauseam with no results. He did not even want to go into the pool. Now that he is learning at nature place day camp, he has made more progress at camp than he has in years of lessons. The camp is teaching respect for nature and thoughtfulness. The camp values the environment and demonstrates an authentic love for the ecosystem to the campers. The camp also encourages mindfulness and thoughtfulness in silence and quiet meditative peace (instead of other camp's whistles and bells). The correspondence with the camp is wonderful. We can always reach someone at the camp whenever we need to talk about issues related to camp (e.g. different pick ups, meals etc). The camp sends out beautiful weekly updates which lays out what happened the prior week. The camp is a lovely place. My only regret is that I did not get to go here as a child. My husband and I are so fortunate to know that our son is getting a well-rounded, nurturing, safe and nourishing experience.

The staff (from counselors to instructors) is also fantastic and a group of very experienced professionals. The directors are always developing new programs and bringing in the latest activities for campers of all ages. One of the newest additions to the camp is the climbing wall and zip line. My kids could not get enough of them. My kids are also huge fans of animals and the fact that Deerkill has a pony, and a couple of friendly alpacas is a great plus. Overall, I would recommend Deerkill to anyone that would like to provide their kids with the opportunity to have summers they will never forget making life long friends along the way. Thanks Deerkill, the kids can't wait to be back again this summer!!!

Our child has benefited year after year from the hands-on experiences and the contemplative studies the school provides to each and every student. As parents in the 21st century, it's so reassuring to know that Green Meadow remembers what it's like to be a child. Their holistic approach to educating through the years with developmentally appropriate and exceptional curricula allows children to see the world for its natural beauty and native brilliance. Because students are fully engaged in the learning process, from performances to immersive explorations (have you even seen their notebooks!?!) they develop an autonomy, agency, and confidence to take on the future in the face of all its uncertainties. You will reconnect with the best of your youth through your own child's experience at Green Meadow. It's truly a beautiful education.
