I loved it nice people awsome kids everyone is nice the food wasn't amazing but it was okay! way…read morebetter than school food the lake was nice.

This was our family's first time ever at Spencer lake. I made sure my child had their meds, a…read morecomplete print out from their doctor including-medication names, dose, route, frequency, what it was for, the doctor contact information, and even entered descriptions online. I sent that with my child to camp and received a call from my son telling me the nurse refuses to give him his meds. I then grab his medicine bottles and come to camp over 1 hour away. About 20 min from camp I got a call from the nurse practitioner screaming at me today this was illegal, how could I send everything in a pill organizer with a list, they should be in the original bottles and she's not going to lose her license because of me! I truly have never been there before and never received a call or email asking about pill bottles. I explained that everything was in the pill organizer including the detailed list from the doctor. The nurse then yells, "This is illegal!!!!" And then hung up on me! I called the camp back and told the guy what happened. He asked me what he's supposed to do about it? I told him, this was a horrible thing that just happened, and if this person or their staff is okay with treating me like garbage on the phone then how much more are they going to be terrible to the kids! They said, "They will talk to this person but they have been there for 20 years, they were frustrated with all of the pills coming in wrong from everyone, took it out on me, and are old school. I reiterated that it doesn't matter how long they have been there. It's no reason to treat a person like garbage on the phone, scream at them, and hang up on them. This was our first time to this camp and I have concerns about how my kids will be treated. How is this okay in a "Christian camp"? The camp called my churches youth leaders to help me dump out all of my sons meds into plastic bags, and put just the amount of pills for camp in the bottles. This was horrible, humiliating, and done infront of a room full of people. They refused to have me go anywhere near the nurses area. I almost pulled my kids from camp for the week because of this nurse practitioner screaming at me and me being treated like it was all my fault. Meanwhile, I have a grocery bag full of plastic bags with my sons meds. This was demeaning, the guy who talked to me from the camp kept poking my sons meds that I held to my belly (so he was not respecting my space), and overall a horrible experience. I have cried on and off all week because of this and will never allow my kids to go back. This was the most horrific experience I've ever had at any camp!!! How is this allowed at a Christian camp?!?! When he arrived home he missed 2 full days worth of medications and now I have to watch my child for seizures and other side effects for missing his doses abruptly!!!! This is negligence!!!!

This review is for the fitness services and some of the sports. I have not utilized everything so…read moremy comparison and review is for those areas. This is only my opinion and people's taste and preferences may be different than mine. My goal is to be honest so that others can make an informed decision! With that being said, I've been a member of a few other fitness and athletic clubs. Is it fair to compare this to those clubs? It really so compared to other Y this is a nice one. Granted not spanking new like the one in Oconomowoc but here they recently updated a lot of their weight machines. The weight training area is large enough and really never crowded. I come in all various hours and can jump on something I am working on that day. A large area for treadmills and stair stepper. Another area for stationary bikes. A nice pool area. Kettle balls, steps, bands, free weights, three racks for squats, plenty of free weights and benches, dumb bells, locker rooms, trainers , classes and many other health benefits. Compared to Anytime Fitness , yes it is more expensive but if you utilize this for a family then you can't beat the price. The sports is good for younger kids and as an intro. The staff is friendly and helpful and all very nice. I actually have a gym at my work but the hours are not as accommodating as here. It isn't open 24 hours but I dont need that. I'm just looking for a place to work out and provide all the various tools to do so. I can't complain about it other than the building is old but it has been here as long as I can remember and it serves its purpose.

Life includes making choices. I am not a kid, but a retired senior citizen, and a longtime member…read moreof Southeastern Wisconsin YMCAs. I was the target of a bully who would not leave me alone in exercise classes at the YMCA Waukesha. I followed their rules and made several verbal and written complaints about the situation to the teachers then program directors. The upper level of management decided to avoid any confrontation, to not enforce their own rules and to look the other way. I value my own safety, so I chose to terminate my YMCA membership immediately. If you value your personal safety, I do not recommend you join the YMCA in Waukesha, unless they change their upper level management and start enforcing their own rules.

A fun place to bring your kids for a few hours for creative play with so many themes! There are…read moretons of interactive stations like a farm, 50s diner, grocery store that mimics the town Festival Foods, camping theme, firestation, police station, dress up, circus area, art & more! Everything seems to be safely built, the ceilings are so tall, giving the space a bright & very airy feel. There is a space baby area with toys for the littlest ones under 1yo, who are free. I suggest getting a family pass for the year if you have more than one child and/or plan on going multiple times because the price can add up. It doesn't get too loud on most days. Great parking. Any cons? Not really, other than investing in the pass to save. The staff are generally kind & encourage parents to play with their kids, but I will say that sometimes I come here as a mom who needs to take a break & sit down without my phone. If my toddler is playing with her friends I think that is reasonable if she is being safe & not disrupting anyone. It could use a good scrub-down but the center is very large so I'm sure it's not the easiest to keep up on at all times. Overall, the Children's Museum is a blessing to have in Baraboo to beat the winter Midwest blues. There is a fun theme for any boy or girl in an elementary age or younger. It's loaded with buttons to push, creative coloring & things to try on. It seems like a fun & easy way to throw a small birthday bash for your kiddo & a small group of friends without breaking your bank! Stop by & see for yourself!

SO. MUCH. FUN. As a 23 year old mom I didn't want to leave. There is so many different fun…read moreactivities for your littles to do.
