They offer day camps, overnight and week long camp. The kids seem to really love it!! They have several activities for the kids to choose from. Everything from swimming, basketball, canoeing, arts and crafts, zip line, horseback riding and much more. My picky eater even says the food is good! If she will eat all week then it must be good. The camp counselors are wonderful with the kids. Very patient and caring. They interact with the kids and get them involved which is great. During the year you can also attend mother/father and son/daughter weekend camps. They do have a sponsorship program if you need help with the camp cost. It is based on approval and first come basis. So apply early. If you want to send your child to camp, you should definitely look into Joy El!!

I have a feeling that whilst spring has sprung a lot of other places in the MD Burbs, we just quite…read morearen't there yet with Constitution Gardens. From the pictures on Yelp I expected the scene to be a bit more of lush greenery and even maybe some rose bushes. When I went to the park, it was a bit more barren and ides of winter than I was hoping for. That being said, the quaint little cozy stroll of a park is located right in old town Gaithersburg behind a large apartment complex that I'm CERTAIN gets its fill of it during the spring and summer. The park has AMPLE amounts of seating. Bench swings line the entry path which also has a little pavillion that could host a number of different happenings - first thoughts go to band stand. Then on the path you find a circled group of seats that evoke King arthur and the knights of the roundtable vibes. Most especially because the head chair at 12 o clock - crafted of large branches can only be considered a throne of sorts. Stroll further in the park and you find a lengthy sand village, complete with miniature log houses, outlined in stumps, and to me gives off the impression of a Japanese sandy zen garden. There are 2 slides built into the side of a hill that tempt the childhood in me. And another large sunken circular pit that has tree stumps to sit in. At the end of a garden is a water pump that has a little downspout into a creek. Of course... I tried the waterpump and the well was unfortunately dry. But, as a kid I could only imagine the fun when it's really going. It seems like Constitution Gardens has the potential of a young nation that just asserted its independence from its empire. I really pray that it's somewhat untended to current condition is just it's current hibernation phase from the winter. Because man oh man can you just imagine the fun that kids would have here, and the VARIOUS spots that parents could congregate and come together for rich and vibrant conversations about their community. I will go back to the gardens later in the Spring to see if it's lived up to it's inherent potential. I truly can't wait.

This place is unmonitored and such a devastating loss of a safe resource for kids who are there for the right reasons. Frederick Douglass would be horribly disappointed in these youth. Arrogant, acting a fool, completely missing the point of the theme, and an awful and embarrassing representation of Loudoun County. They were belligerent, swearing, and acting a fool in front of young children. Way to go "parents." It makes me ill thinking of the lack of civic knowledge amongst these kids. Blatantly stomping on hard earned tax payer dollars with this once fabulous community resource. What an absolute shame. I will never go back and never take a class here either.

It's great that you're also able to bring your own items if you want. Peeved at an ex? Take their old junk and smash it to your hearts desire. There are markers to write on objects as well, I wrote my wife's least favorite person on a plate and tossed it to her with a bat. Believe it or not she really did feel better! I believe we'll be making this a yearly thing. The owner is very nice as well and tries her best to keep it as affordable as possible. So do be respectful to the items she requests you not to hit, the more that's needed in furniture replacement the more the prices will go up. Overall I completely recommend getting some anger out here. Oh extra perk, she'll put on whatever style music you feel will help all the relief the most.

Understood - but weird to say break s* but don't go near the unprotected windows. The plywood must have been replaced because the walls do not look anything like the pictures online. So, the pictures look like we're in a construction site. The Ballroom is NOT air conditioned and there is no fan. So we were all sweating bullets with zero air flow. The speakers on the audio system was playing awesome tunes but you could hardly hear it back in the Ballroom area. PS This property is NOT handicap accessible. Not only steps outside, but steps are inside also to get back to the rooms. Overall, a good experience for the girls; but we will be looking for one much better cared for than this place. PSS You are definitely going to want to bring more of your own stuff to break - there is not enough provided.
