In 1995, my parents sent me to Camp Whitewood for a week during the summer. Little did I know that…read moresome of the skills I learned during camp would be useful even now. I'm not sure how much has changed over the years but it was easily one of the best weeks of my life. I learned archery, kayaking, canoeing & embossing. At the time, you could pay $5.00 and choose to make any craft that they had to offer; I still have a wooden dog I painted (if you press it's nose it plays music) and it was the first time I ever participated in a scavenger hunt. The camp grounds were always kept very clean, the staff was amazing and it was nice to see that the property is exactly as I left it. I attended a wedding here today & would recommend Camp Whitewood to anyone looking for an affordable & alternative wedding venue. Although our friends explained to us that you cannot have alcohol unless you rent all six buildings but this didn't ruin our evening. The building they choose had two bathrooms, a decent sized kitchen, a large stage & plenty of room for eating & dancing. Younger children might be bored as there isn't a playground; however, you can enjoy a fire pit or a stroll through the woods. All the buildings, with the exception of the cabins, are handicap accessible . There's also plenty of parking in a secluded area surrounded by nature. So weather you're considering hosting your next event here or having your children stay for a week or two; Camp Whitewood is the place to be!

The goal of 4-H Camp Whitewood is for each camper to grow in appreciation, respect, and knowledge of: oneself, those living things with whom the camper shares the Camp environment: the relationship to one's peers, the adults who help at camp, and the creatures and plants living in the surrounding environment.

I have been going for almost a year and have enjoyed every lesson I have had there. The horses are well trained and cared for, the barn and arena is always clean, the staff are helpful and sweet. The trainers are patient, very knowledgeable, and clearly love teaching! All of them are a pleasure to be around. I am working with Fiona now. She is fun, talented, and she brings a great deal of experience. I have made some new friends and get the chance to be around the horses, which makes me so happy! They have horse shows and parties often, too. Chagrin Valley Farms is amazing!

Constantly…read moretalking trash about parents and kids and the trainers don't do much and expect the tack assistants to handle every single thing that they can easily do since they sit in their offices all day and eat. The horses are not taken care of very well and do not get good turnout. On sunny days they turn the horses out for two hours and on rainy/cold days no turn out at all and no exercise for the horses at all. The horses who need extensive care and attention are thrown to the side since they're not valuable to their lesson program. Overall very shady and very two faced, faked individuals. Over priced for a not so good service. Go somewhere else.

Asbury Woods is such a gem! This review is only for the hike, but I will definitely come back to…read morecheck out the nature center and everything else Asbury Woods has to offer. TL;DR - Free parking, Greenway Trail is the longest, is not very strenuous (just a few hills) is very shaded (unless you continue into the meadows, which is beautiful, you should go!), there are boardwalks on the trail which is pretty nice so your shoes don't get as muddy, you can customize trail distance if you don't want to do the whole Greenway (you can take a map at the entrance), Walnut Creek is beautiful and peaceful, and it's dog and family friendly. I saw lots of families on the trail with young kids. So for the details, my bf and I were looking for a place to hike and we tend to go for 2+ mi with some shade along the trail and some body of water, big or small. I browsed the web for info on Asbury Woods trails and saw that they were all short but the pictures seemed really nice and it was within 10 minutes of where I live so I figured I'd give it a shot. While driving here, I noticed there are 2 lots to park, one by the park, and the other is across the street by the main entrance by the nature center. So that's where I parked. We took one of their trail maps by the entrance and decided to go on the Greenway Trail, which we were pleasantly surprised to find is 2.2 mi and crosses Walnut Creek. Along the trail, we realize it is pretty shaded. Checks off all that I look for in a hike! This trail is beautiful!! Once you get to Walnut Creek, you'll realize it is such a gem! There weren't too many people on the trail for a Saturday around noon. The trail takes you across a bridge and into a meadow. Once we got to the meadow, I realize there are multiple places to enter the Woods, but I guess Google Maps took me to the main entrance. (The other way is the barn entrance.) Have fun!!

In particular, the primer rib dinner was better than I had ever remembered. The jus and horseradish were fantastic with the meat, and the entire meal was perfect from temperature to portion size. Finally, the salad toppings were endless and imaginative. It's not just the prime rib dinner that's great, though. The Friday grilled cheese: fantastic. The Sunday evening veal: tender. It's a place like the Sheldon Calvary Camp dining hall which really make one question what other restaurants are doing, and why they can't step it up. If I could give 6 stars, I would.
