I can't say enough about Stomping Ground Camp. My 8yo son went this summer. It was his first…read moreovernight Camp ever. We were all anxious and signed him only for one week, and mentally ready to go pick him up early in case he wanted to come back. I remember receiving a call from one of the directors two days after Camp started. I thought: my son is homesick and they are calling to go and pick him! Instead of that, he asked to call home to beg if he can stay longer! He was having so much fun and enjoying himself. For summer 2017, he wants to stay the 4 weeks!!! He can't wait. We love Stomping Ground Camp!

My kids (12 and 10 years old) just returned from 2 weeks at Camp Kresge. This is the second year…read morethey've been, and both years they had great experiences. This year was a little more complicated because one of my kids got homesick at the beginning; I was so impressed with the skill and compassion that the head counselor, Tom, exhibited during my son's crisis. He helped my son to feel safe and well-cared-for, and he comforted him and encouraged him in such a way that my son ended up really enjoying his remaining time at Camp Kresge immensely despite his initial bout of homesickness. This camp is so much fun for kids--they come home singing camp songs, telling funny stories about their experiences there, and talking about how amazing all of the camp counsellors are. 5 stars isn't enough for this camp and its counsellors. The perfect authentic, rustic, action-packed, incredibly fun summer camp experience.

Great camp. Great kids. Remote in woods. Kids seemed to be having fun at the camp. Beautiful area.read more

I didn't want to have to write this ever! But I was employed here last year as one of the child…read morecare staff, and after being lied to on the phone I've had enough! So I'm spilling the beans, there are child care staff that work there atleast while I was there that didn't have all of there clearance to work with children and the head of child care Brianna Dugas said a number of times that she would just change that employees hire date if state was to ever come, along with that staff there were instructed to go "toe to toe" with children when a child was giving attitude, throwing a fit, not listening, etc! We were instructed to ignore one said child if she was angry that day. While working there 1 time there was no school and a mom was under the impression we were ordering pizza for the children (like we planned) and didn't pack her child a lunch... I had an extra soup for lunch and got permission from the parent it was fine to give to the child so they could eat lunch and that mom wouldn't be late to work, Brianna then told me I'm not aloud to give her the soup and she's just going to have to have a snack! That's all the child ate all day because my boss Brianna denied her food! I quit the Y about 3 months ago cause I could not tolerate this kind of behavior. Unfortunately I had to call there the other day and ask for the copy of my finger print form because I got a new job and Brianna states that she never got it... STATING THAT WHILE I WORKED THERE SHE NEVER HAD MY CLEARANCE! which she has because I just got a copy and the address was sent to the greater pittston ymca! This is the most unsafe child care facilities I have ever dealt with and strongly suggest they shouldn't even be in business!

This review is only for the outdoor portion of the center:…read more This is a wonderful place where I imagine you can keep the kids busy for hours. My wife and I were headed to the Ross Zoo but opted out at the last minute due to the rain. This place is not designed for a couple of senior citizens to walk around but since I was here I decided to take a look outside. The outside walk through was magnificent and I could see my three grandchildren (one girl, two boys) truly enjoying all the touch and explore exhibits. Sound, flowers even a small playhouse. This type of exhibt really forces the children to use their sensory abilities including their imagination. One obvious observation is the tremendous use of color here. The design will surely captivate the children KUDOs to the team of the Discovery Center of the Southern Tier.

I loved all the pretend play, from doctor's office, dentist office, the bank, the car shop, the vet, the grocery store, etc. Sure some stuff is pretty outdated/old, but at the same time there were some features we hadn't seen at other children's discovery museums, such as the flight simulator. We had a fun time and spent maybe 1.5 hours here.

This helped them make friends, body awareness and confidence. As a mom, it helped me meet other families with similarly aged children in the area! We have also taken advantage of their open gym times to burn energy and their themed parents night out (because who doesn't need to have some adult conversation?)! The gym is clean and safe! My older daughter has now been on the gymnastics team for 3 years! She started in mommy and me classes at 2 years old. We have traveled, made memories and so many friends along the way! My daughter has learned so much, besides gymnastics! Shooting Starz has become a family for us! I highly recommend!!

This is gonna be a long one. My daughter absolutely loved this place the staff is friendly but the…read moreowners are money hungry! First off they over stack these classes so there is no one on one experience it is very difficult for the girls to learn anything when there is 20+ girls to one or two coaches. At the end of each session you can either move up or stay in the same class. Don't ever question why your daughter is not moving ahead because all they do is make excuses and tell you to enroll in private lessons. This is where they make their money private lessons.Now I don't want to sound biased but my daughter was very good I seen girls move ahead before her. That's fine, I get it sometimes that's how it is but after three years and still has not made the team something is wrong. So I ask the owner what do I have to do to get my daughter on the team I was really to pay for more private lessons now they want to use her age credit she is 8 1/2 years old now I am told she's too old to make the team? This is absolutely ridiculous I guess I was a problem father, I really have no idea. So with a heavy heart me and her talked about possibly moving to a different gymnastic school. She agreed for was frustrating for her as well I see this happen a lot through the years being there a lot of girls disappearing and I was wondering why, I do see why now, so needless to say three months in the new school my daughter made the team and there is well had no idea why she was not on the team at this place shooting stars. After talking with numerous people through the time that we left this place, I found out this is their standards their money money money. So good luck if you would roll in this place you'll see ..... update, anyone want to know a real school just ask me, daughter is now throwing double fulls at age 12 and is on a level 9 team, funny how she couldn't make the team at this place lmao!!
