    My 12-year-old son LOVED the blacksmithing class. Dane is amazing and the space is fantastic. My son can't wait to go back.

    Even though it rained most of the time, Dane's instruction and ability to be flexible with the teaching was great.

    Whenever I mentioned that my daughter was going to Fairyland Summer Camp people gushed about how…read moregreat the camps were. And they were right! Topaz, Fairyland's Community Engagement Manager, is kind, organized, and patient. In fact, she probably deserves a promotion and commensurate salary increase. Hers is not an easy job and still I never saw her flustered and she was especially skillful at handling parents and kids alike with care. We were originally waitlisted for Maker's Wonderland and Farm to Table. To my horror, the email notifying us that our daughter had been offered a spot for both camps went to spam. Thankfully our neighbor tipped us off and I wrote to Topaz right away and she managed to get our kid in for three weeks of camp. And she couldn't have been nicer about it. My daughter made butter from scratch, performed skits, and made a good friend at Fairyland camp (and both our families are better off for it). I highly recommend these summer camps for their super staff, excellent Oakland vibe, and engaging activities for kids.

    Fairyland Summer Camp (FSC) is an absolute gem! It is a unique and valuable experience for young…read morechildren. The activities at this camp will inspire, encourage and stimulate their minds and creativity. It is awesome that my children get to spend the day outdoors in a safe environment and with caring staff members. Most of all, they are given the time and space to be themselves and PLAY.... after all, play is the primary way children LEARN. The Education Specialist Shana, is a genuine, intelligent, and professional Leader. She has a positive and loving energy that is contagious. My children have attended FSC for 3 years and I always see her connecting with all the campers and parents. My children really, really enjoy their time at Fairyland Summer Camp and I am a happy and grateful Mother.

    I'm so glad Alameda has an indoor playground. Both my kids have been enjoying since 6 months to 5…read moreyears old+ Can get busy on rainy days so definitely call to make sure they are accepting open play. It's not huge so it's easy to keep an eye on your kids but lots of variety. Love all the benches and comfy seating for caretakers. There's even a paid massage chair. You need trampoline grippy socks but we've invested pairs sold here and used them plenty. Some favorite areas for the kids are bounce house, kitchen area, ball pit, and slide. There's a clean kitchen area to eat your food. I haven't come or hosted a birthday party but there's a room in the back for one.

    This place is fantastic, such a great addition to the east bay. I came here for the first time…read moreyesterday with my 4 year old and 8 year old and they both loved it. Especially my 4 year old which I think is probably more of their target audience, kids below 6. There are a lot of physical activities like a slide ( more suited for kids under age 5), a ball pit, swings, rock climbing wall, and a whole jump house in the back. There is also a painting station and sensory room to calm down and take a break. They have a lot of chairs and couches throughout the place so if you have some work to get done there is definitely room to do so while your kids place. All in all, my kids and I enjoyed this place had we'll definitely be back again.

    This is my son's dream camp, but there is no way we can afford $925 per week for a full day camp…read more(9a-6p) but we also are nowhere near to the HHI required for financial aid. The cost is nearly _double_ that of every other camp we have enrolled in. Everything about it sounds amazing but if you aren't a two-earner household both making huge tech dollars it's entirely out of reach.

    Our daughter (entering K who prefers playing with dolls indoor) thoroughly enjoyed the Explorer…read moreCamp. She had tried Monkey Business Camp last summer but she did not like the unstructured free play time as she did not go with a friend. With Avid4Adventure Oakland, she went without knowing anyone and enjoyed every single moment of the five days outdoor adventures (biking, kayaking, hiking, mountain biking and stand up paddle boarding). She loved the fact that they had to take a van to go offsite (eg: Berkeley Aquatic Park for water sports, etc). They also have yoga, art, music, etc. We were worried because she could not bike without training wheels but the instructors helped her and at the end of the day, our daughter was very proud of her biking skills! She always looks forward to next day's activity. They emphasize recycling and the love for our environment during camp, so much so that after attending Avid4Adventure, our daughter checks on us when we have trash at home to make sure we are recycling 100%. Even the tiniest scrap paper and snack bags must be recycled!!! Think TerraCycle. Great first time exposure to sports adventure and spending time outdoors with fun instructors!
