I wish they offer their adult workshops year-round. Also wish they offer Zoom classes for adults and would hold some special events more often. Most of their classes are focused towards children, not adults. They should do more to inspire adult attendance IMO. I've had a few workshops cancelled due to low enrollment, which is disappointing but to be fair, I've had this happen with other art schools too. They aren't always consistent with responding to emails so it's best to call if you have questions. I've also noticed inconsistencies on their schedule/calendars. My favorite teachers are Theresa Bates and Roy Lerner. I highly recommend (both passionate about teaching) and to learn about mixed media, which Theresa also sometimes teaches. Mixed media has changed my life in some of the most spectacular ways!

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!!!

This is a review for the summer camp, only, where my seven-year-old Onondaga Chief has been going…read morefor two years in a row. Adam Wallach and Ken Barer do an incredible job of running the camp, marketing it, communicating with parents, rallying kids for weekly spirit days -- and generally rockin' it. The kids swim twice day and are given just the right amount of freedom for their age. My guy was thrilled to ride his bike around on trails independently (without a grownup following closely) in mountain biking. Picky eater though he is, he seems to eat decently well, carbo-loading every day at lunch. Kids get occasional treats like fruit sushi, which the kids get to make themselves, trips to an ice cream truck, and cold (not-too-unhealthy) popsicles in the afternoon. Our guy kept telling us about eating fresh strawberries at lunchtime that were picked, he said, from the camp's own strawberry patch. (I can't verify this claim; it did seem like it'd take an improbably long growing season and an awfully, awfully large patch of strawberries to supply all those hungry kids for the summer.) Counselors keep the kids hydrated in the heat, buses are shockingly timely (MTA should take note!). Bus counselors do a great job of communicating bus arrival times. Activities are varied and interesting, including options like "mining," water works, pottery, archery, crafts, farming(!), all manner of sports (tennis, soccer, baseball, etc..) -- and there is always something new going on. My guy was excited to go from the moment he woke up each morning. Yes, the camp is guilty of blatant cultural appropriation -- but we get that at this point, there's monetary value in the branding that makes change difficult. At least they're changing the logo in coming years. We'd be thrilled if they actually taught the kids a bit about the tribes of the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois Confederacy that the groups are named after. (Our son reports that there is some sort of small "museum" on the grounds with a few artifacts found on-site.) We did some of our own research. All in all a fabulous, fun way to spend the summer. Our guy is counting the years until he gets to be a counselor himself.

It seemed pretty clean despite kids being everywhere. Adults could fairly easily also use the structure with their kids. Age ranges are pretty big! There's a small area for babies and young toddlers, but otherwise there seemed to be kids between 18 months and 6 or 7 years old in the main spaces. Our favorite part was the larger, open space with balls. There were lots of places to run around. Having an indoor tennis court was unique, but it was a bit crowded on our given day. We entered through the back, through the dance studio entrance, and were a little confused about set-up and cost. I'm surprised they don't have a desk at that entrance.

As any parent, I take pride in throwing my child the best (reasonably priced) birthday party that…read morethey could have. And I thought I found that in The Play Place. I am VERY disappointed in the lack of communication and down right false advertisement that their website displayed. I will take this as a learning lesson for future birthday parties. First and foremost, I would like to say that the two staff members helping were polite and understanding and helpful throughout the party and in no way does this review reflect on them or their service. (A+ to them) Also, I would have no issue going there during open play but in NO WAY would I pay to have a party there again or even consider it to my friends/family. 1 stComplaint: I was informed as seen below from their website that there would be a LIMITED number of the public. I chose the 1st party slot at 11:30am and walked into what looked like 3 other parties going on since there was an INSANE amount of kids there. At NO point was it mentioned that there were sports play and teams happening prior to my party and I should expect kids to "clear out" within minutes of the party starting. The anxiety and disappointment was enough to ruin my whole day. The celebration kicks off with an exciting 30-minute session of play on our Adventure Playground (Open to a limited number of the Public), where the birthday child and their friends can explore, climb, and play together. Once the energy is running high, we'll transition to our turf field (Private to you) for 30 minutes of engaging fun field games, run by your 2 party pros that will keep everyone entertained. The final 30 minutes is in your Party Room for pizza and cake $549 - 15 Party Guests 2nd Complaint: They have a Happy Birthday board which excluded my childs name throughout her whole party! It wasnt until the end of the party that I was informed by party members that her name was never on the board. I believe a staff member overheard us talking since 20mins later there it was. We had the 1st party slot. There was no reason her name was excluded on that day. It didn't matter to me much at the time since the kids are playing and not paying attention and i was so stressed out by other thing to notice BUT it is a big deal! 3rd compliant: The owner mentioned that they will provide veggie sticks, water and apple juice + 2 pizza pies within their package. At no point was anyone informed that these items would come in pitchers! If I knew this, then I would ahve purchased my own bottle water. I wasnt expecting the big bottle water but even the minis would be nice. The last party place we had provided these items so I was surprised it was not mentioned more clearly. So since I kept asking for water, they provided water bottles - which I thought was included and ended up being charged ADDITIONAL for it after the party. No call, no text no explanation just an additional charge to my card for water. RIDICULOUS 4th complaint: The play area ( even when in one side of the playplace) is SOOO big that the poor staff member tried to gather the kids for a game. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE! No child is going to stop playing to hear instructions on a game when there are 5 million other things going on. Plus trying to keep the party together was impossible. The entrance, layout and overall experience was chaotic and unorganized. The list goes on. Not worth the cost.

My son attended for less than 6 months after I finally became fed up with the following:…read more 1) Every week they beg you for more money -- donations, activities, scholarship programs (for the POOR kids of one of the most affluent areas in NY?????), etc. The Director (Ronnie) cries of their non-profit status and how low they keep their tuition costs to help out parents. Note: I met a former board member that knows the situation well, and she said, "Ronnie is bankrupting the nursery to support her lifestyle." Explains why every week she was on vacation in California or on some international adventure. 2) The energy is HORRIBLE esp. if you are not donating to all of their programs. They won't even greet your child when you arrive with him/her. The teachers all look exhausted, unhappy and annoyed. And they are quick to tell you what they think of every detail of your child's abilities -- mostly negative. 3.) They charge a HUGE deposit (no other preschool in the area charges like this), and BEWARE of the contract. We lost several thousand dollars for taking our son out early. It's insane. 4.) It is so tiny that in the winter the kids are all huddled together in a small space -- ALL DAY. A MUCH BETTER OPTION: World Cup Nursery School. Amazing, sweet, welcoming and your child actually learns something! Large facility as well. Plenty of room for kids to exert energy!
