Our horse is top shelf. And he is treated as such. The other farms he was treated like a concentration camp. Our horse is treated like a Champion. The board fees are very reasonable and fair. We are satisfied beyond measure.

My genuine thanks and love go out to Judy & Shelly. It has…read morebeen two years since I started my animal communication work. I didn't know where to start. I knew I wanted to work with all kinds of animals, but horses held a special place in my heart. As a result of Judy & Shelly's generosity, I had the opportunity to work side by side with their horses. At first, they weren't sure what to expect, and I was ill-advised to explain the process. I have worked with many humans but never animals. A chance was taken with me, and amazing things happened. Through our work, I learned how to communicate with horses and help heal their past dramas, and Judy & Shelly's horses were able to get the help they needed. Morning Star farm is a special place. I have been to many horse farms since and I have never seen two humans care and love for their animals as much as Judy and Shelly do. They are true heroes, who have saved countless animals and their work with neurodivergent children & adults has left me speechless. The love they have for their animals and clients is endless and that is a special gift to have! Thank you, Judy & Shelly, for being my teachers of all things horses and giving back to this world in a way most people can't even imagine.

After 6 months, Homeymoon was over and we were treated as lowlifes. I don't understand. My wife and I are decent people. I am retired Army. You would think that an owner would have better business sense, knowing how to handle customer service after so many decades. She has NONE. We didn't know that our horse was overdue for vaccinations. OK. No prob. Fix it. Right? We were ordered to remove our horse if it didn't get done. ASAP. That simple. No loyalty, teamwork, or sympathy. Owner's arrogance leads me to believe she is on medication for something. Likely an alcoholic. There are very few clients. Very few. Almost none. It's run like a concentration camp. The only good facet is that there are very large fields, where horses can live their lives naturally. We removed our horse from this facility at 7 am. She had a car lined up so that we could not get out, over a $144 due balance. We can now live in peace.

( Changed only bc of a change in schedules). Pros- great instructors, variety of times available, they let you reschedule a class if missed bc of sickness, very clean, good area for parents/sibling to wait/view lessons. Cons- sometimes up to 3 kids to one instructor and some kids need a little more help than others, so there is sometimes alot of down time during 30 minute lesson- sometimes- depends! Overall though, it is a great place and cost reasonable. They also have "parent night out" events (at an additional charge), which I hear the kids love. We have never used that service.

NJSwim is a business first and foremost, and inherently act as child's gatekeeper to swimming…read moreability. Their number one goal is to make as much profit as possible with a business strategy of stretching your child's swim education experience out for as long as possible. For $140 for four 30 minute sessions, our daughter received about 28 1-2 minute laps around the pool during a shared session. So each 1-2 minute lap was $5 each. There is more sitting time than swimming time. The description of the course in which she was enrolled in on paper did align with her current swimming ability, however the course we decided to enroll her in based off their recommendation was a complete waste of our time and money. It consisted mainly of gently dipping her head in the water, floating on her back, and getting pulled around in the pool. She is at the point where she could learn how to paddle, but this wasn't even covered and you need to play a guessing game when selecting the course that covers that technique- NJSwim thrives off you selecting 2-3 courses lower than your child's ability based off THEIR descriptions. They may as well of have a weekly $140 donation box. NJSwim gets 2 stars because the personnel appeared to have safe practices, but we will not be returning and definitely not recommending this place to anyone. Save your money and go with private lessons.

We came here for a family weekend over Labor Day and had such a wonderful time! I didn't know what…read moreto expect, but the experience exceeded my expectations. There were so many activities to choose from--big swing, pontoon boat ride, sailing, kayaking, the giant lake slide, tie-dye, archery, axe throwing, rifle and BB shooting, climbing, candle making, and more. Most of the counselors were fantastic--great with kids and clearly passionate about what they do. The cabins are very basic, so be sure to bring your own chairs, sheets, and pillows, but the temperature controls made it comfortable. The meals had a nice variety and were surprisingly good for camp food. The last night's campfire, complete with a talent show and s'mores, was such a special way to end the weekend. While not all families were particularly social, the ones we connected with were great. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again!

The staff (from counselors to instructors) is also fantastic and a group of very experienced professionals. The directors are always developing new programs and bringing in the latest activities for campers of all ages. One of the newest additions to the camp is the climbing wall and zip line. My kids could not get enough of them. My kids are also huge fans of animals and the fact that Deerkill has a pony, and a couple of friendly alpacas is a great plus. Overall, I would recommend Deerkill to anyone that would like to provide their kids with the opportunity to have summers they will never forget making life long friends along the way. Thanks Deerkill, the kids can't wait to be back again this summer!!!
