My son had a great time. I signed him up for the Jr Game Design class. He got to show me what he…read morecreated every day. How he created it I have no idea. I don't know how hard the program was to learn. He just showed me what he completed each day. Which didn't seem like much. I guess if he had fun that's all that matters. The reason it isn't a 5 star review is two reasons: the scheduling and the safety. The classes are only offered during weekdays and business hours. If you work an 8-5 it's hard to schedule a class. I noticed the reviews are geared towards homeschooled children as an extra circular. As far as safety, no one checks ID when you take your child. There was one day when I didn't pick him up, my husband did. Well they had no idea who he was. No one seemed concerned. Didn't feel safe. Price wise, it's not cheap. I paid full price. Not sure if others get special funding but I didn't. So be mindful it's a good activity with a hefty price tag.

My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

My son was in honors in high school he was an AP courses however, time during Covid did not treat him well online classes in real time did not see him and going back was not as easy I think for any of the kids but smart for my son. Unfortunately, he just was not able to re-integrate himself to the regular in person high school, because his years that were most formative, he spent at home in isolation, the school did not do as much as they could and I know this because we tried several times. In order to just allow him to finish high school in a semi-normal setting I decided to put him in Options For Youth. I know that many people look at Options For Youth like a continuation school or a school for kids who are not good academically or troublesome youth but it is far from that. Kids that go to Options For Youth and finish their high school really have to put more forward because this is a self driven curriculum. You have your teachers to support you and your parents but you have to do the work and nobody is going to continuously remind you. My son was immediately excepted, his teacher, Miss Ashlie Was a huge part in my son Sucess, I don't think that teachers understand we're all teachers understand just the impact that they have on these young. my son knew that not only did he have his family and parents on his side but also his teacher and his school. He graduated with honors and was part of the ASB. My biggest regret was not enrolling our son when school resumed an he began to struggle. Public school is not meant for every student, but what is meant for every student is that their school and their teacher believe in them and motivate them to do their best especially when they're struggling. My advice is if you have looked at Options For Youth and second-guess yourself or second guess pulling your child and putting them in this school. Don't waste your time and just do it. You won't regret it as long as you are supporting them they will receive support from school, and there are so many programs and field trips and p My advice is if you have looked at Options For Youth and second-guess yourself or second-guess pulling your child and putting them in this school.

BEST WEDDING VENUE EVER!…read more My husband and I dreamed of a wedding where everyone could stay together onsite, immersed in nature, with no worries about driving after a night of fun, and Camp Osito Rancho made that dream a reality. Our families stayed in the health center, lodge, and electrified cabins, while our friends embraced the adventure of summer cabins and tents. The venue offers so many stunning spaces, from the spacious dining hall for meals to the stage/amphitheater with fire pits--perfect for s'mores and late-night stories. We exchanged vows at the top of a hill near the outdoor pavilion, with a gorgeous backdrop of pine trees and a view of Big Bear Lake in the distance. We were able to offer our guests camp activities like archery and a pool day, as well as had room to setup other activities like craft tables and lawn games. The biggest perk was the complete freedom to choose our own vendors, allowing us to create a truly personalized experience (huge shoutout to Scratch Kitchen for catering--our guests still rave about the food). We spent a year making signs, collecting décor, buying solar lights, and crafting to transform this Girl Scout camp into a full-blown wedding festival. If you're up for planning the details, this venue is the ultimate blank canvas. Last but not least, the Camp Osito Rancho team is absolutely amazing. A huge thanks to Angel for her help throughout the year, Ryan for his help throughout the weekend, and to Gerardo for the tour that sold us from the start. For a wedding that feels like an unforgettable getaway, this place is pure magic

They treat every child like their own, and that kind of care gave me peace of mind every single day I went to work. One of the things I appreciated most was the transparency. With cameras in every room, I could always check in and see how my girls were doing. But honestly, I never worried because I knew they were safe, loved, and thriving. One daughter started in the preschool room and the other stared in the toddler room.. Along the way, they made beautiful memories, built lasting friendships, and were guided by caring teachers who helped shape them into kind, confident little people.

And how many kids above the age of 3 were swinging around and going flying. This man also accused me of yelling at him which I thought was a joke because I can't even yell. I thought he was being funny but no, he continuously looked for reasons to keep approaching us to the point where some of us just decided to leave. Overall I'm just sad and disappointed.

If this establishment apologizes for making us feel so marginalized I'd appreciate it, preferably without implying that we weren't following the rules. We were. Look at your footage.
