The camp and all the action is in Groveland (in the Sierra Nevada Mountains just outside Yosemite.) We have visited with our kids 5 times over the past decade. Each time is wonderful and different, depending on the weather, amount of water in the river, time of the summer, and what's going on in the world. Family Camp is a super place to unwind away from the ceaseless roar of technology. (My cell phone doesn't even work there!) Because they prepare your meals for you, you are completely on your own about how best to unwind. Hot? Maybe sit in a tube and float in the river. Hungry? Stop by the camp store for some ice cream. Bored? Good! Maybe you'd like a hike, fish a little, or lay on your back and watch the sky. This is a place unlike any other you'll take the kids to. You can let them be free. They get to decide what to do. Maybe they'll catch a fish. (The camp will cook it for them.) Maybe they'll go adventuring or go to the campfires. Got little ones? They'll love the activities. Even now, with our children in their teens, we go - although now we rent extra cabins and have them bring friends, since friends are where all the action is when you're a teenager. They play cards, fish, and laugh. It really is that simple, and it's really just that good. Family Camp is a gem.

We spend most of our time playing in the river! My kids like to float down on inner tubes. The river is shallow so we do hit some rocks and have lost some tubes but the smiles are totally worth it! We love the staff and have so much fun playing our favorite camp games Mission Impossible and nine square in the air! Each day is packed with optional activities from gold panning, fishing and camp fire! (Kids favorite camp song hi my name is Joe! And of course there are smores!) Ryan and Michael (aka Parker) remain my kids favorite Counselors so glad they were there again! This year we got to meet Ryan's family and hope his brother will Be a counselor next year! Such nice people!!! That is what is great about camp Everyone is so relaxed and friendly! The accommodations are a wooden structure with a tarp (bring something to hang over the openings as they don't close all the way) and cots. The bathrooms are camp bathrooms- don't expect to much from them! The food is decent for camp food! This year they improved service by having two lines! Woot woot! My only complaint would be the bees - they are everywhere. We saw two kids get stung. Jenna is doing a fantastic job and works her tail off! We love love the animal ambassador show! Each year we have learned so much! Added July- 2018! Just got back from camp! Another great year! My kids are already planning what we need to bring for next year! Even the smoke from the Fereguson didn't slow us down! We hiked to Cascade which was a hike but beautiful water falls! We also hiked to nearby Rainbow pools- two of my kids jumped from the big rock! We miss Jenna and her animals but Jaye is doing a great job!

We enroll him 3 three weeks and he wants more.

They weren't the cheapest or the most expensive we could find, but the descriptions of the camps sounded like we'd get a good value for our dollar. Our kids were excited about the different themes of each camp week that we ended up signing them for two weeks each instead of one because they liked different themes. We booked the "It's Elemental" and "Animal Adaptations" camps for our twin boys and "Castles and Catapults" and "Explore Hawaii" camps for our daughter in February. They were thrilled about the summer camps, and we glad to see how much they were looking for to them. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic took over everyone's lives. Like many parents in the Bay Area, my wife and I had to juggle not only watching but teaching our children as well as juggle work. My wife and I are both healthcare workers albeit working in different hospitals and different fields (radiology versus nursing). We hoped that things would go back to normal, but that was quickly dashed away when the school was closed down for the remainder of the school year and the lockdown was extended. We knew that they'd need the summer camps more than ever. Unfortunately, Camp Captivate had to cancel their physical camps. The owner of Camp Captivate, Ildiko Stennis, helped me with the refund. We received gift cards that we could use for future camps because we hadn't notified them that we wanted to be reimbursed. I spoke with Mrs. Stennis about our situation, and she was very understanding. She removed the funds from the gift cards and did a full refund to my credit card. She was empathetic and friendly, and I really appreciated her help. I know for sure that my wife and I will be signing up our children for Camp Captivate when things go back to normal.

Not to mention the obvious. The whole reason we got our child into a program like this is to get an edge up on learning and being comfortable with computers. As technology advances, coding will be a language of his generation. If your looking to help build a foundation starting with the fundamentals of computers, this is a valueable class to take that will last them a lifetime. Coding is an asset and starting early in a place that is nuturing like codewithme- geared towards your child's learning- is the stepping stone to an enlightening future in computer coding. 5 stars for sure!

Personally I am a gym rat and I have been to absolutely every commercial gym in all of San Jose and this place ranks as one of the top contenders. The staff is amazing, I know everyone on a first name basis and they really do make you feel like family. The amount of value you get from this location is ridiculous. Just to begin they have equipment you would never see at a 24 or City Sport! Everything is super clean, they have deadlift platforms and the tool to load and unload weights. Towels and sprays are always stocked to while everything down and the workers are dilligent. They offer supplemental classes, have pickleball available, swimming pool, showers, indoor turf, outdoor work out area which is PERFECT for sunset or sun rise work outs. All in all I love this place, they have a good system going, everything is immaculately clean and their workers are able to address anything you may need. They even have free personal training which is expensive at 24 or city sport.

Today I registered for a body pump class, put on the waitlist list, once the class started I was accepted into the class. As I attempt to walk in during warm ups I was told to leave that it was too late to join. Make up your mind YMCA either get rid of the waiting list or tell the instructors they aren't following attendance rules. So rude.

Coach Arnoldo and Coach Dina have built this place with so much care, from the excellent student-to-teacher ratio to the way they motivate and encourage every child. We've been attending classes for several months now and couldn't be happier. It's an outstanding course for kids and a wonderful way to channel high energy into discipline, perseverance, and self-belief. The program develops agility, balance, coordination, and overall fitness, but what truly stands out is the focus on mental resilience. Kids are encouraged to try, fail, reset, and try again in a positive, supportive environment. If you're considering it, take a trial class -- you won't regret it. Highly recommend for families looking for something active, confidence-building, and genuinely fun.

The program is play-based and parents take work shifts to help out during the day. It could be providing the snack or helping with art activities. It's usually during the first and last 15 minutes of the class. Their playground is a legit and sturdy old-school one that you would never find nowadays. It's just amazing. This review is long overdue. I had been looking for a school/program for my daughter. We suspected that she might be on the spectrum so we wanted to find a place that provided the social environment and interaction with other children as well as accept her as the special girl she was. During the year, it was a rollercoaster of a ride. She had her own difficulties adjusting, and there were numerous moments when I wanted to take her out of the program thinking she just wasn't ready. The main reason I stayed was because of the support we received from the school director, Erica. I've had bad experiences before with other school who would single out my children as different, but even with her eventual diagnosis, Erica made us as a family feel welcome and understood. She provided the support and compassion we desperately needed while trying to navigate our new life transition. Being a part of our child's learning was also a big plus. Before my gf suggested I look into a co-op preschool, I had never even heard of such a thing. They're only this small for a short while and being able to be present for that is priceless to me.
