They all loved it and benefited from the learning experiences tremendously. They are accommodating for children's individual needs and are very multicultural, with much of the staff being from overseas. My husband and I are a gay interracial couple and all our experiences as parents were positive as well. My kids all went to scout camps in the area, too, and preferred 4H Camp by far. When I taught in Pepperell, it had a better reputation than any camps around and I had many students who went there year after year. We are looking forward to sending my grandchildren to camp this summer, 2025!

Two and a half weeks into camp, our daughter begged to stay for the entire summer. After a lot of thought, we decided to let her stay.

She had a blast participating in all of the activities, especially evening activity. As a family, we were happy with the Jewish culture she was immersed in. She has made lifelong friends!

Heroes (campers) spend their days adventuring and exploring the grounds, making choices that will impact the story moving forward. It's an inclusive community for those wanting to get outdoors and bring the stories of literature, history, and myth to life (while swinging a foam sword). I've worked there several summers. It's home to many campers and staff, finding the magic of The Story School calls them back to answer the call of adventure! They also offer scholarships, sibling discounts, and multi-session discounts to make camp accessible. They are also hugely focused on inclusion within the LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent communities. I wish we could host camp all year!

We've been members of this club for over three years, and overall, we've had a positive experience…read morewith the facility itself. However, our experience with the Kids Club has been extremely disappointing. About a year and a half ago, my son had an incident where a staff member teased him. He reacted in a playful but inappropriate way, and as a result, he was suspended for a week. At the time, he was also dealing with a serious medical condition that was affecting him neurologically, which we later came to understand may have influenced his behavior. Out of caution, he did not return to Kids Club after that incident. Now that he is doing much better, and I have returned to full-time work, I recently attempted to bring him back--only to be told that he is permanently banned. The reason given was a Facebook comment I had made at the time describing our experience. I made multiple attempts to have a calm, reasonable conversation with staff to revisit the situation, especially given the time that has passed and my son's improved health. Unfortunately, there was no willingness to reconsider. This puts us in a very difficult position. As a working parent, I rely on the Kids Club in order to use the gym. Without access to childcare, we are now faced with canceling a membership we've maintained for years--not because we want to, but because we no longer have a way to utilize the facility. What's most concerning is the lack of empathy and accountability in how this situation has been handled. I sincerely hope the club takes a closer look at how interactions with children are managed, and how situations like this are resolved, so that other families don't have a similar experience.

Missing many machines that modern gyms have. For abour $70/month one would expect better. Seems more geared towards families with kids and elderly.

Not only are they teaching our kids karate, but teaching them to become better individuals. We've seen improvements at home and at school since attending classes. The studio was more prepared for the COVID-19 pandemic than most businesses it seems. The remote learning kept our family engaged and very much wanting to continue training each week. The more recent outdoor/indoor smaller classes work well too. The staff is great and really cares about their students, the community and people in general. Very highly recommend this studio!

I'm glad I do this as I just witnessed a cruel caretaker with an infant outside. The caretaker was a white female with short brownish hair. She had two infants one quietly lay on a shady area the other little boy with blond hair wearing a blue striped sweater today was put in a bouncer in direct sun view of his eyes. It was a very breezy day which my 4 month old hates because he can't breathe yet when it's super breezy. This little boy seemed 4-5 months cried relentless and caretaker ignoring his cries, maybe because the sun was in his eyes and the wind was too strong. Anyways I witnessed this caretaker yank the little boy from the bouncer by his legs putting him upside down. She didn't see me at first because I came from her behind. When she saw me she immediately became nice to the boy sat him on her lap and gave him attention. I told her "he must not like the direct sun on his eyes and it's too breezy for infants outside. My infant hates the sun and the breeze too and he would cry if I put him out like that." She said he will get use to it and went on to ignoring me. This was an eye opener as if anyone treated my infant that way and held him by the legs I would sue them. I tried calling the daycare to put in this complaint but they never answer. If you have an infant blonde wearing blue winter hat and blue striped sweater today I would recommend you not leave him at this caretaker's hands. She shouldn't be working with kids at all. After finally speaking with Tina who seemed to be uninterested in even asking which caretaker it was and who the child was, it made me even more concerned of what type of care these infants are getting. She just said "I will look into it." That's aweful response. If the caretaker treats this infant in this manner in plain sight outside, I can only imagine what she does behind closed doors. Needless to say, my newborn will not ever be going to this daycare which is conveniently a block from my house.
