We've been going to Summer Spark the past three summers, and my two 8 year olds are so excited to…read morego back this summer. This is such a special camp. The owner picks very high quality staff (teachers, I'm pretty sure) and trains them very well. It's not just a camp, it's a giant leap forward in your child's social, emotional development and problem solving skills. But the kids would not tell you that, they just love that they are having fun! I love that they get out and explore nature and create stuff out of recycled materials to solve fun challenges. They also learn the vocabulary of growth mindset and team work. The only drawback has been the location - but they've already fixed that by expanding to additional locations. Oh, and yes, it is one of the most expensive camps, but it's worth it!

He arrived early and was set up on time. He stayed a bit longer than expected. He was professional yet fun and dealt with some of the difficult kids like a pro. I can't recall his name, but think he was from Sweden originally. The show was fun and he taught them magic tricks and did a magic show. Apparently he inspired a few of the kids to learn magic as weeks after the party they are practicing what they learned as well as learning new tricks. That's cool to see. Anyway, highly recommend.

My child will be going to some W&W camps for his third year in 2015. It was a friend's…read morerecommendation that led me to this camp. He loves going to the Farm with games, pool and a more relaxed day, usually the last day of a very busy & active week of travel, water and play. I trust the counselor's with my child's life every time I leave him and I admire the owners for using negative reviews in training counselors, many who spent years as participants in the camp. Accidents happen, even when children are with family. My child was hurt badly enough to need hospital care when with a grandparent but he was having too much fun & did not tell until he came home & became symptomatic, then we were treated with an ambulance ride. That's just kids. So even though my child has asthma and carries an Epi pen due to fireant allergies, I trust this family team of counselors unequivocally. He has built his confidence and made new friends every trip. Since camps are broken down into weekly choices, he can pick the adventures he wants. I love this concept, the active nature of the camps and allowing my child to have adventures I am physically unable to offer.

Our 4th grader had a fantastic time during his week of summer day camp with ATX Kids Club and we…read morecan't wait for the next opportunity for a field trip with Tammy's wonderful crew. What's so great? 1) Small groups with a low child-to-teacher ratio. During our week, there were approximately 8-10 kids and almost always 2 or more counselors at each outing. The curriculum has an educational/health & fitness focus, and the well-trained counselors are managed by a certified teacher (Tammy) who is often present during the week. 2) Exercise & being outdoors. The kids are moving most of the day, walking around town to see the sights, playing on splash pads & playscapes, or taking a hike. ATX Kids like to move it, move it! 3) Being a tourist in your own city. The kids (ages 4 - 12) learn to use public transportation and recognize city landmarks while exploring many of the cool destinations available in their hometown. During our week in Summer 2016, our child toured several art museums and historical sites, visited a few parks and walked urban trails. A highlight at the end of the week was visiting the Governor's Mansion and having snack time with the First Dog of Texas, Pancake. 4) Supporting a community-based, local nonprofit. ATX Kids Club offers discounts for children whose families might otherwise be unable to afford this kind of summer camp. They also serve as a CCMS provider through the Texas Workforce Commission. 5) Having a "normal workday" schedule for a reasonable fee. Summer camp hours are 9a-5p ($275/wk), and you can add extended care for 8a-6p for an additional fee ($65/wk). This is such a relief compared to other summer camps that require parents to juggle work hours for drop-off and pickup. I do recommend the extended care unless you work very close to the drop point. Downtown rush hour traffic is horrific! It was fun for us to see the play-by-play pictures of the kids in action on the ATX Kids Club FB page each day, confirming that our child was enjoying camp and making new friends. We're looking forward to signing up for Summer 2017, as well as trying out some of the school holiday and Saturday adventures later this year.

(That's also why we were able to enroll for individual days.) She's selective in hiring guides, and extremely creative in finding things to do around the city, many accessed via public transportation. Kid came home tired and happy each day, with stories to tell about the "main" activities and the "bonus" activities which they keep in their back pocket depending on how the day goes. Will be back!

Game Worlds is a camp where kids learn the skills needed to make their very own video games…read more Real-world game developers guide kids through a crash course into how games are made, and help students bring their vision to life through practical skills such as digital art, audio engineering, programming, design, testing, writing, and business presentation. During one week Game Worlds summer camps attendees create games and at the end of the week can pitch the video game. Yesterday, Thing One came here for a birthday party (not a camp) and was able to play a game that was designed for up to 8 players. He also got to look at the D&D themed game room, and the game design room while there. We both met with Jennifer Noonan, the Co-Owner who explained the skills children can learn while attending camp and the tools children used to build these skills. Thing One enjoyed himself in the 4 hours there as he was able to explore the different gaming rooms and learn more about game design. He was also pleased to learn that Magic: The Gathering is played here on the weekend, which is one of his favorite games. This business serves as a great place to throw a teen's birthday party as it provides a large safe space for kids to game and is more intimate than some of the larger game-themed event spaces. #supportlocal Camp Info: Ages 8-18 When: 8:00am -5:00pm, Monday-Friday $695 per week
