Super friendly and super competent staff round up just 2 SMALL GROUPS of nice kids at a playground (Mother's Meadow right near 19th) then they go 5 DAYS A WEEK OF FUN FIELD TRIPS or do special outings in GG park.

Originally purchased a Groupon deal for my daughter to attend here. We signed up for the 8 classes…read moreand once they ended decided to continue on. It's a great program for kids wanting to step up their basketball skills. The group size ranges, some weeks are larger than others, but the coaches always split them up depending on skill/experience and age. When you attend their 1.5 hour weekly class on Sundays, there will be plenty of: hand eye coordination, dribbling, shooting, passing and cardio drills. At the end of every class, my daughter is so beat! But, she has a good time and looks forward to attending knowing that she's getting better each time. All of the coaches are great in pushing your child to their ability and they always acknowledge it with praise. Great job coaches!

My 8 year old son really enjoyed this camp summer 2019.

The camp counselors were great- they made it fun for all the kids regardless of their skill level. The check-in and check-out processes were a breeze. Each day was loaded with fun and running around, which is perfect for kids in the summer. Definitely a highlight of the summer camps my son attended and he can't wait to do it again!

Wanted to go back but has sadly aged out. Definitely worth it!

So the all-inclusive nature of it really worked well for us. It was not only affordable, the camp offered some great enrichment programming for girls (GURLS) which really resonated with my kid. Besides playing Ultimate, the kids get to play other fun games, such as dodgeball, etc. Bring a sweatshirt, it can be cold and windy on the Gilman fields in the Summer :)

Neg #1: My child took Robotics Camp. He said that the materials are so cheap that the things they…read moremake don't work well, and it was frustrating. Neg #2: Camp is supposed to be from 9-3. He said that they started around 9:10, waiting for the children to come. They line up at 2:45 to walk to wait for parents. The first day he called me, and I said it wasn't 3:00, but they had them waiting in 90 degrees weather for parents. Then, I get there, and they make me go back to my car, while my son waits, to get my identification. He's 13, he may know who his mom is. On the 4th day, I find out that he could have checked himself out each day. NOBODY TOLD US! So, if you start at 9:10, end at 2:45, and have an hour of nothing (SEL) time...just have a shorter day filled with, um, camp stuff. Neg #3: Children have to give their pronouns! I wrote the camp, but they said they don't have to...NOT TRUE...they had to. Stop the insanity. They have this crap thrown down their throats in school. Let camp, just be camp! They have an hour of SEL. Mind you the counselors are junior college kids, not trained to support issues that may come up in SEL. Also, it is ROBOTICS! Neg #4: They called them kiddos...okay, but really?!

This review is LONG overdue. Just been busy with kids, work, and life. But I did want to comment on…read moremy experience with Camp Edmo from last year (June 2021). I looked into many different summer camps for my son during that time and came across Camp Edmo. I read their website and thought it was a good idea to put my son in their summer camp (for 3 weeks). My son was 5 years old and had completed Kindergarten during that time. Make a long story short, my son completely hated Camp Edmo. He begged me not to go every morning. I kept asking him why, he said it was boring, the counselors didn't help him build anything during class, and he spent a lot of the time just sitting there. Again, my son was 5 year old and shy at the time. A counselor should of helped him build something (since it was a stem, engineering camp for small kids). Instead my son, everyday, would bring a bag containing engineering supplies untouched. Camp Edmo costs and arm and a leg, counselors should have just done their jobs and help the kids build. Oh and if you send your kid to Camp Edmo, know they will get super dirty. I think they have them sit on the street or dirt, cause my kid's pants were always dirty. This year, I'm glad my son's school will be offering summer camp. Thank goodness for that, because Camp Edmo is one camp I will not be sending my kid to again.

We took the outdoor climbing clinic and he went over how to make good anchors, select the correct gear, and proper belay and multipitch techniques. If you are looking to learn to climb, or if you already climb in the gym and want to go outdoors with confidence, Andy will get you started in a safe and engaging environment. Also his classes are capped at 4 people which gives lots of space to ask questions and get 1on1 instruction. He clearly loves climbing and likes helping other people enjoy this hobby.

Andy is an extremely knowledgeable, kind, and passionate climbing guide. I was impressed with the structure of his class, which started with a lesson on the forces of lead falls, how to read our gear, and the principles of anchor building. He then gave us hands-on practice with different anchor building methods. Thanks to Andy's excellent instruction, I left his class feeling completely confident. He even allowed me to take pictures, videos, and notes during the class, so I could revisit the techniques later :) If you're looking for a climbing guide who is the freaking best, don't hesitate to take a class with him! Muchas gracias, Andy!

For the younger kids, it seemed like they had a good mix of soccer and other fun activities. The only thing I recommend is to remember to put sunscreen on your younger kids if they aren't used to doing it themselves. It was foggy in the morning and one day I forgot to put sunscreen on my son's arms. When the sun came out, the staff did have him put sunscreen on but he did it himself and you can definitely see all of the parts he missed. This was my fault though- just a reminder to others. I definitely recommend this camp!
