Unfortunately I wanted to love this camp but things took a turn for the worst on the last day of my…read moredaughter attending this camp. Before I get in to that - the general improvement would be to : Send out an email introducing you to all staff and counselors, as well as a daily or even every other day general idea of what activities took place that day. You will not meet anyone. On the first day of camp a counselor comes to your car and gets your child, that is as much interaction as you get with staff. Their parking instruction email is more in depth than any other piece of information you will receive regarding your child. Which brings me to the parking situation. On the last day, my daughter excitingly (attempting to) get out of our vehicle with a smile on her face and a few bestie gift bags in hand was met by a smiling Counsler ready to help assist. My child lock was stuck and so I had to manually lift the lock and help, but while doing this, Deborah Turobiner came up anxiously and loudly saying "WE HAVE TO KEEP THIS LINE MOVING" very condescendingly and aggressively whisking my child away (along with a few other snooty remarks). I contemplated turning around and getting my child but knew how excited she was for the last day. I decided I would write an email to the director acknowledging my appreciation for Deborahs dedication to ensuring everyone get to camp safely.. but that she could go about it with a better attitude .. A few hours later, I received a phone call from a counselor that "my daughter was in the art class decorating glasses and her own glasses have gone missing". I then got a call from the director "your daughter was changing for a fashion show and put her glasses in her pocket" (nice - putting it all back on the 7 year old" Days and days go by (I said I would give it a week for them to find them until I would seek compensation" these are medically necessary glasses.. my daughter has very weak eyes that cross without them) They claimed they found them! Woohoo! I head over pick them up only to pull off, have my daughter put them on to say "these aren't mine mom" I pull over. Same color glasses.. different brand and smaller. I sent a receipt showing how much I had paid for the glasses a WEEK prior but the director had the audacity to say it wasn't an itemized copy. As if I would LIE about the cost of the frames. It wasn't until I posted on social media that I got a response saying this situation would be handled. Parents ask yourself this: If a business who is responsible for children could lack accountability for weeks over.. glasses.. would you trust them with more serious situations. Any rebuttal to this review would just go to show they have a very difficult time taking swift action and accountability.

My kids have been going to Art Camp for seven years!!

They come home each day tired and full of stories about their day. The Art Camp owner and directors make sure each kid has a place to find their fun during their week(s) at camp. This camp has become an automatic part of our family's summer plans and often winter/spring breaks as well. I highly recommend Art Camp- as I always tell people, it's not just art!!!

We absolutely love Cali Camp!…read more I have two boys, and both have had an amazing experience there. My older son loved it so much that he is now becoming a Junior Leader, which says everything about how meaningful Cali Camp has been for him. My younger son, who is in 2nd grade, went for the first time last year and is already so excited to go back. What really stood out to me was how quickly they both adapted. My younger son joined not knowing anyone and felt welcomed almost immediately. Both of my boys felt included from day one. The staff is incredibly caring, supportive, and attentive. You can truly feel that they work hard to create a safe, joyful environment for the kids, and as a parent that means everything. The activities are fantastic: well planned, age appropriate, engaging, and fun. The natural setting is also beautiful and feels especially important these days. My boys came home with confidence, stories, friendships, and summer memories they will cherish forever. And the camp spirit is real. We still sing the silly songs at home, especially the announcements song whenever we have a family announcement, and the birthday song too. I cannot recommend Cali Camp enough.

They usually start on the trampoline, then continue into an obstacle course or stretching followed by the balance beam. It's 45 minutes long which is the perfect amount for this age group. Usually there are about 2-4 kids per class so they can get one on one attention. Coach Hutch is the best. He's so good with the kids and helps with their confidence. Before coming here my daughter was afraid of heights, especially things like the balance beam. I'm proud to say she's walking on the balance beam by herself and she says that's her favorite thing in the class now! She looks forward to this class every week and talks about it all the time too! The facility is clean with an island/beach vibe. They offer lockers and restrooms. Remember to bring water for your kids. Plenty of parking in the lot. I can't wait to see what else she will learn!

Extremely Disappointed - Do Not Send Your Kids Here…read more My son attended Camp Keystone last summer and loved it, so we were excited for him to return. Unfortunately, this year has been a completely different--and deeply upsetting--experience. At pickup, my 6-year-old was in tears and told me that a 13-year-old Counselor in Training yelled at him that he was "tired of him" and then threw him to the ground. Yes, my son had thrown a piece of chalk--something we've addressed and made clear was wrong--but the violent and aggressive response from an older child in a leadership role is completely unacceptable. Worse, there was no adult supervision when this happened, and no camp staff informed us. We only found out from our son. When I contacted the camp, they minimized the incident and failed to take any real accountability. The 13-year-old was not dismissed, and in fact, is being allowed to remain in the Counselor in Training program and return next summer to supervise other children. The camp's own Code of Conduct says it will not tolerate violence--but they are clearly not following through. This was not just a kid-to-kid disagreement. This was a teenager in a position of responsibility physically assaulting a child half his age. If Camp Keystone does not take this seriously, parents should. I can no longer recommend this camp to anyone. There is a complete lack of oversight, accountability, and concern for camper safety. We will not be returning, and I urge other parents to think twice before sending their children here.

YES I DID CALL POLICE FOR THE ASSAULT ON A FIVE YEAR OLD BY A COACH. My daughter is five and had just come back to coach connie after missing 3 weeks of classes. She wasn't sticking the landing so coach Connie wouldn't give her a high five. My daughter was upset and when it was time to send all the girls for water all three girls ran to the water station where I WITNESSED CONNIE GRAB AND YANK MY CHILD BY THE ARM. She turned her entire body around aggressively to threaten her. I ran over and picked my daughter up and told coach connie that there was no reason to ever grab a child like that. My daughter said she was scared and hurting and that coach Connie told her she was going to punish her. I went to the front office where they pulled the footage, confirmed and said my daughter shouldn't have ran around the corner and it is their protocol to grab the child running around the corner. Only my child was grabbed. The coach was frustrated with my child for not sticking the landing and with her crying. This isn't how anybody working with children should react. I contacted the police department which I believe is lapd. They confirmed they saw the coach grab my daughter but that they stated the owner and the coach both said were safety protocols and because she didn't push, hit, or shove that they couldn't prove assault. Disappointing and disgusted to say the least! IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE. DONT GO HERE!

Coach Connie was my daughter's first coach. So I can tell you first hand what an amazing coach she is. In all that time, I have only ever seen a safe, positive, and family-oriented environment. The coaches are incredible -- not only do they help the kids grow as athletes, but they also teach respect, discipline, and responsibility. Sometimes children may not always listen or act respectfully, but I know firsthand that the coaches are always focused on keeping the kids safe and guiding them in the right direction. We have trusted Monarchs with our daughter for over a decade, and I can say with complete confidence that this is one of the safest and most caring gyms you will find. If misunderstandings occur, I would hope families take time to reflect and acknowledge if they were wrong, because the coaches and staff here deserve nothing but respect and appreciation for the work they do. Thank you, Monarchs, for being such an important part of our daughter's life and for always supporting these athletes in the best way possible!
