Our mission is to provide the children with a fun filled weekend solely focused on them, since so much of the attention in their homes are given to their brother or sister battling this terrible disease. The campground at Puh,Tok is beautiful. Everything you would need is there, from scenery, to swimming, last year we had a rock climbing exhibition, to archery, and plenty of things that I'm sure I'm forgetting. The cabins are cool too. I'm a city guy so it's incredibly difficult for me falling asleep in cabins with thin mattresses and bugs, but me being able to do it, then come back a year later and do it again speaks to the quality of the entire experience. Ultimately, I will be doing this as long as I am physically able, and I hope that Camp Puh'Tok is our chosen destination.

If you are looking for an in-person school field trip for students, do not choose Snapology…read more Snapology's concept is GREAT, but what was offered could have been of better quality and execution. Snapology is overpriced with subpar materials. For a minimum of 50 students, the school was charged $750, for any additional students the cost was $15 per add-on. Snapology was to arrive at the school for a noon setup with pre-k and kindergarten students participating in the building activity from 12:30-2 pm. Snapology sent two staff members who did not represent Snapology with joy and excitement. When the two young ladies arrived they came with two rolling carts with shoe box totes of legos. As I greeted them, I asked if there was anything I needed to do. They said I needed to place the students in groups of five so that they would be able to go to the 10 Lego stations. When we arrived at the GYM small stations were created on the floor (no tables were ever requested or suggested for this activity via Snapology). As the students came, I began to usher students into the GYM along with school staff members and parents with no direction from the Snapology team. We had NO clue what to DO! The two staff members never gave us an introduction, a greeting, or guidance to get STARTED! So teachers and parents started managing stations with students. About 10 min. into the activity, a rotation was supposed to take place (no timer to be heard, no communication between school staff and SNAPOLOGY. One Snapology member moving clockwise and another moving counterclockwise. Now children are CONFUSED! Now we have 50+ with no direction moving around excitedly. At this point, I decided to have students FREELY explore the stations! Before the activity was over, I noticed the staff members cleaning up. Wait a minute we still have 30 minutes! They put the earthquake machine away, 2 green Lego mats, and a Lego bin. I see one staff take a creation from a student's hands now I am annoyed. Now it's time to ask for clarity. I spoke to one of the staff members in the hallway and was less than excited with her response. This is an easy activity that can easily be executed at your school for a FRACTION OF THE COST! Buy Legos and connector place them inbins now you have SNAPOLOGY!

This is a great, old school outdoor camp. Kids get to choose their activities each day--they can go swimming, catch frogs, play in mud, splash in the Gunpowder River, go canoeing or hiking, etc. It is loosely structured enough that can explore, follow their own interests, and use their imaginations. There are mixed age groups and it's amazing to see how kind and supportive the older kids are to the younger kids. The counselors (mostly former campers I think) are hilarious, energetic, creative, kind. Don, a former teacher who has run the camp for over 40 years, is very thoughtful and reflective and the kids love him. This camp gives kids the space to discover their own confidence, creativity, initiative, and it's really really FUN!!!

Starting with Nature Camps' "Little Feet" program, they have grown through the Day Camp and, for the first time, this past summer, "Teen Adventure". The counselors' skills in facilitating each child's personal development and ability to connect with people and the environment around them are astoundingly spectacular. I've lost count of the time I've found myself using the word "magical" to describe how Nature Camps is able to reveal, respect and develop children's best selves. Pick up and drop off at Nature Camps' rustic, wooded location in Monkton offers parents an opportunity to connect with their children and participate in fun activities like "Big Circle". (The (optional) van service from Greenspring Station and/or ad hoc carpools offers other options for families who'd prefer to reduce their own driving time.) In these ways, Nature Camps' values and opportunities outweigh the factors of cost and convenience. Our family's favorite part of each two-week session is the Family Overnight. Overnight activities include a potluck supper followed by entertainment from campers and staff as well as family and friends followed by activities like as night hikes, crafts, and singing by a campfire. The following morning, parents and younger campers are served breakfast prepared by older campers (and staff).

My heart breaks just a little bit more each day, knowing I will miss so many precious moments with children, while someone else will be there to witness so many of their "firsts". It's a feeling I'm sure I share with so many other moms. Thanks to the staff at Insight Kidz, I feel better about leaving them every day because I know they are in the hands of caring professionals who cherish them (almost as much as we do) and seem to understand how much I must miss them every day. The staff has been fantastic about keeping us up-to-date on the highlights, sharing their funny moments and their latest achievements. And the best part is that we don't always have to wait till the end of the day. They send us texts and photos when they know it's a moment we wouldn't want to miss. Their messages brighten my day, make me laugh, and help me to feel that even though we're apart, I'm still with them.
