    Stunt Camp - The pool at Stunt Ranch.

    Stunt Camp

    (2 reviews)

    "This camp is dangerous but fun." That quote from my 7 year old sums it up…read more Let me caution you that you may want to take this review with a grain of salt. My 7 and 9 year old were on the younger side of the Stunt Ranch campers and did have some cool experiences, but there were a few issues with the way this camp is run that cause me to rank it so low. My boys attended camp July 14-19, 2013. The facility is a sprawling property with fixed rope courses, shelters, a pool and various spots for blowing up cars etc. It is also the home of the owners/organizers I believe. So it looks a bit in disarray, but understandable given the nature of the things they do there (shoot movies, do action team building, etc.). My problem with the camp is it fails on one key aspect of camp and that is the parent being able to drive away, knowing their kids would be in a nurturing, safe atmosphere for the day. As far as safety, being stuntmen, that should be paramount on the counselor's priority list, however it feels like they do these slightly risky activities so often that they've become complacent. An example, is their super high tech air bag suffered some damage on the third day by a bachelor party the night before causing a hole in the top tarp that gathers and cushions the fall. Instead of calling off the airbag activity for the camper the next morning they went ahead. My older son happen to jump and impact right through the hole created the night before meaning he did not get the full affect of the cushion. He did NOT get hurt but could have. Why risk this happening? Even the counselor had a sheepish look when she recounted the story to me. She also said, "You did sign the release." The point is if safety is compromised at all, you should cancel the activity. This would have been an easy one since the kids had done the airbag every day that week. During the action hero flying, my older son landed between the crack in two pads and banged his knees on the hard ground underneath. He was sore for two days. Why is that allowed to happen? How many other safety issues were lurking that fortunately didn't end in an injury? On nurturing, one of my kid's issues was there were other campers who were bullying. My youngest got the "There's a bug on your face, [slap], got it" from an older camper. My little one was stunned. This is not the counselors fault, however, that type of behavior among the campers needs to be monitored and corrected. My boys have been to about 25 camps in the past few years, and this was the first one where they complained, "the other campers were bullys and the counselors did nothing about it." If a camper misbehaved, the corrective measure by the counselor was pushups. Now I'm okay with physical fitness, but again, this is not very nurturing or constructive, kinda more Frat boy like. One camper threw a water bottle at my youngest and he had a bruise near his eye. I hope someone did pushups for that. Other surprises: "Counselors allowed a lot of cussing." "Tommy called us 'turds'." "They told us that was blood on the pole from a kid who died here." - I asked Camil about this one and she said, "People have been hurt badly here." She may have been referring to stuntmen or grownups, but really, that's how you position a kids camp? "The zip line was the worst one ever." - This is referring to the fact that the harness they use is not around the hips, but a fire hose around the back and under the armpits attached in front of the chest resulting in an uncomfortable ride (See newsman Fred Cantu's suffer ride in the site's video). "I cried on the high ropes course because it was slippery and they were wanting me to let go and I didn't trust them." - My youngest has been on numerous zip lines, climbing walls, and ropes courses all over since age 4. This was the first time he "didn't trust" his safety person. Rather telling. Again, my kids were on the younger side of the campers ages and I think my 7 years 8 months old was one of the youngest ever, but they accepted them and should be able to handle them and give them a great experience, otherwise, don't accept them. They did learn some cool movie making things also. I think in my examples above I have demonstrated that while this is a unique action experience, it needs to remember its mission changes a bit when it is "A Camp"; safety, fun, respect, and positive experiences should be higher priorities. Given the nature of the camp, I'd also like to know the First Aid, CPR, first responder training (if any) of the counselors. An emergency backboard nearby might also prevent Stunt Ranch from becoming "my ranch" should some unfortunate incident occur.

    My kid chose not to finish the week there because, in his words: "it was so boring."…read moreIn fact, there were only four other kids there that week. In the few minutes worth of activities I saw on pick-ups, I was relieved he wanted to quit. This place is dangerous. Not only that, the staff are entirely disorganized and unprepared. The scariest thing I saw was on the first day picking up my child. They were on a platform built into a tree, treehouse-style. It's about 20 feet high and has no railings whatsoever. Three kids age 8 to 11 and one adult were up there. The adult was busy dealing with the rappel gear and rope, so the kids were essentially unsupervised. Horseplay ensued. Of course, I stepped in and got their attention. But the potential for disaster was huge. I had a chat with my son that evening before letting him return the next day. Every day they promised pyrotechnics the next day, but they never delivered. Activities are mainly zip line, a small obstacle course, rappel, jump into an air pillow, swimming and movie watching every afternoon. If you care about your child's health and well being, take a hint from their mandatory release form. Here are a few tidbits: You agree to release them them from responsibility for: falling objects, operator error, equipment maintenance failures, incomplete warnings or instructions, acts of negligence or omissions, any fees or costs incurred from legal action. and much, much, MUCH more. In other words, they take no responsibility for anything that happens. And there is ample opportunity for accidents. But here's the real kick-- "In the event that I file a lawsuit against SR [Stunt Ranch], I agree to do so solely in the state of Utah, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply in that action without regard for the conflict of law rules in that state." Utah. For a Texas business serving Texas customers. I don't know the law, but it sounds pretty shady to me. We'll never be going back.

    Super fun. All ages from 3 to 103…read more Great to do on those super hot days or cold days. Took our teens to get away from electronics and be in the moment and creative. Were they thrilled? Nope. Did they have a lot of fun. YUP. Depending on where you are coming from its up the hill right as you enter hill country off of 290 from south austin. If you are coming from the west off 290 its headed towards south austin about 20min from Dripping Springs a few min past Belterra strip mall food area. Plenty of parking. Lots of seating on a Sunday around 12noon ish Thanksgiving weekend. No time limit on doing your chosen art. I tried glass making for the 1st and it was fun and challenging l. Instructions by the staff very useful! Friendly. Helpful. Welcoming. We each chose something different. Plenty of items small, med or large to chose from. Pottery comes with whatever pain you want, glass area there are easy and complex projects. You pay, they fire/bake the pieces and you show up about a week later to grab your pieces. We each got something around 40.00 or under. Time flew by. We were there for maybe 2.5hrs. My teens were not on their phones once. Engaged, creative, good family time. Come visit, bring a friend, spouse/partner, day date, just yourself. Thank you for having this space for folks to be in the moment and creative with things that open their mind, heart and soul

    I was meeting my team in Austin and looking for a fun team activity for us to do and came across…read morethis gem. There are plenty of places to go and paint ceramics but this place also offered mosaics, glass blowing and other great art options which I loved. I was able to reserve the private room for my team and brought in snacks (tea party set up) for the group. The staff was so very accommodating and helpful with everything. We all enjoyed ourselves. If you like arts and crafts, this place is def worth a visit!

    We've loved our time at the YMCA in Buda!…read more Childcare for my older kiddo while hubby and I workout has been solid! I really like the pool. Always clean, in good condition, and normally people have been great at sharing during busier times! Hot tub is great with plenty of space! I also like the warmer pool which is wonderful on my joints and not as hot as the hot tub. Perfect balance and lots of space for all ages. The lifeguards have always been great and make sure kids are safe and have the right wristbands based on their swimming abilities. Lots of workout equipment, all in good condition! Definitely not substandard equipment. I've never seen all the treadmills in use, and half of them aren't closed all the time like other places. The only machines I wish they would add are SkiErg machines! I appreciate the weights and how nice the other people at the gym have been. Very supportive and patient! I have not used a trainer yet but am considering it! The utilities have always been clean. Sure. The showers need a little extra clean, but nothing super gross or black moldy. I do wish they had dressing rooms separate from the showers, but I'll survive! My favorite thing is the staff. SUPER FRIENDLY, each and every one, and that's very special. Always greeted when I come in and always a farewell on my way out. Fabulous staff! We also can't wait to go out to the outdoor poor soon!

    Staff are so cheerful and friendly. This being a very old building, its not really easy to make the…read moreplace shine like a newer building but I find it to be clean and well maintained. I notice the pool water is checked hourly and there are plenty of lifeguards. Some fixtures in the locker room are a little old style, but so what. They work and some better than newer ones Ive seen in other places. I love the sauna and equipment rooms. They have a lot of treadmills stair steppers and rowing machines. Teachers are available if I have questions. There is a plethora of classes! Even Qi gong- theres exercise dance, yoga, senior fit, strengthening, weight lifting yoga etc A lot of seniors are here and Im loving making new friends with active people my age. Ive been a member for only two months and my body definately stronger and Im sleeping better. I now have days when I feel fantastic and not just okay. I make it a point to go work out 3-4 times a week. Also theres a basketball court and other games. Im so glad I joined! Thank you YMCA staff- keep up the good work!
