Gary R.

DANGER - "Bob the Slasher"? Be sure to read this incredible update! After we placed the negative review below, we have video recording evidence and believe that "Bob the Manager" vindictively damaged our RV by slashing the high pressure sewer hose inside our RV bay, causing hundreds of dollars of damage and creating a dangerous leak of sewer on the last night we stayed at the Capitol KOA Park. THE REVIEW: "This place is on our "never return" list. Firstly, the park is in the armpit of two freeways built at "old hog farm" - all this luxury for $100 per night. It is "conveniently located" only 1 hour typical drive from D.C. Oh, and can words describe how asinine, petty, and insulting the staff are? I was astonished, appalled, offended, and incredulous by our unexpected interactions with them. Kind of like the four seasons of emotions in a 30 minute period except without summer or spring. Logic and basic expectations of acceptable customer service are totally bereft. This is the park to make you grateful for all the other parks you will stay at. *** AVOID ***" The Evidence - draw your own conclusions: After my guests and I suffer horrible verbal abuse and absurd accusations from Bob the manager and his staff over a $14 guest parking pass (that we had no idea was required) we pay the $14 but ask for an apology. Bob refuses to apologize and become extremely hostile. We tell him that the treatment is absolutely unacceptable at every level and promise that we will be leaving an appropriate review to reflect his despicable demeanor. He storms off. At 9:00pm I post the above review. I have a 24/7 video recording system on my RV and tow vehicle (Front and back HD video recording). On video - At 10:13pm my video system records what looks like the manager's golf buggy drive to my RV. (Scoping it out?) On video - At 10:15pm the golf buggy drives back toward the office. On video - At 10:19pm a person with a flashlight walks from office direction to my RV. We are all watching a movie. At 10:20pm from my driver's chair I observe through a window someone that I immediately perceive to be Bob the manager outside my motorhome with a flashlight walking around it. At 11:15pm my wife tells me to empty the gray water tank as it is full. I go out and turn on the high pressure sewer pump. Gray water sprays everywhere from a gash that was stabbed into the high pressure with a knife inside the RV bay - strategically slashed to inflict maximum damage and contamination. My 13 year old daughter usually does this job. I get sprayed with gray water and inside bay is contaminated (See photo). Hmmm. Who would do such a thing and what would the motive be? I have little doubt it was "Bob, the slasher". Do you really want to send your family to a place with such a lunatic who would do such things? What a horrible, vindictive, psycho person! Protect the safety and sanity of your family and stay far, far away!

What a great time we had July 4th-6th weekend with 3 tandem kayaks we rented from Capital SUP!! I…read morecan't resist telling everyone this was so easy to do. We rented a home right on the Chesapeake and i couldn't find anywhere that would deliver kayaks and stand up paddle boards to me until i found Capital SUP. Kevin was terrific he drove up in a big van took out 3 beautiful clean colorful tandem kayaks and carried them far down to our dock with life jackets and paddles. We had so much fun in and out of the water with our families. ...and did I say the price was so much better than going anywhere and renting even for the day. Also this was a busy holiday weekend and everything went smoothly no hiccups. Thank you Kevin so very much your kayaks made our family reunion. Have a good summer

Entry is well supervised and easy. We chose the Blue Moon kayaking tour. Loaded up at sunset with little lanterns, paddled along a tributary of the Severn River to admire the sky, trees, birds. sailboats, pleasant architecture of the residences on the banks. Quite serene but if you're expecting Nature Only, you'll be disappointed because it is surprisingly built up. Still we enjoyed it immensely bc we'd never seen this lifestyle before. Our guide was informative about the ecosystem and everyone got to enjoy the blue moonrise. Paddling back in the dark was fine. Loved rocking in the wake of a passing boat or two. Highly recommend.

I'm really disappointed with my experience at La Petite Academy. From the start, communication has…read morebeen a constant issue. The director, Kalani, rarely responds to emails or follows up when concerns are brought up. Meetings that were scheduled to discuss my son's needs were missed with no explanation or reschedule, which is completely unacceptable. There's been nonstop turnover with staff, not enough staff in classrooms, and little to no structure day to day. It's very clear that the staff is overworked and the children are the ones who end up affected.My son hasn't received the consistency, support, or attention he deserves. Even more frustrating, they have failed to provide accommodations or meaningful support for children with disabilities, despite multiple conversations and requests. That's something no parent should have to fight for. Parents are barely kept informed -- no clear curriculum, no consistent updates, and no sense of stability or leadership from the director. For the amount of trust and money that goes into childcare, this is incredibly disappointing. If you're looking for a center that communicates, values your child, and maintains consistency, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Do Not Enroll in La Petite Crofton. My Daughter started at…read moreLa Petite at 18-months-old. My daughter adapted quickly and enjoyed it there until shortly after she turned 3 years-old. She suddenly started biting and fighting at school. We were shocked. She never does that at home. It got to a point where we'd have to pick her up at least two or more times per week. We engaged the teachers, we practiced the material they gave us at home as best we could. She didn't bite or hit at home so we didn't have opportunities to reinforce the behavioral lessons. She would whine and cry every time I took her to school. She was adamant that she didn't want to go. Not even 3.5 years-old and she was already capable of vocalizing that she wasn't happy there. My husband and I, after months of racking our brain and worrying, decided that it wasn't her fault she was behaving this way - she's 3 and a product of the environment she was in. I honestly believe that she'd get in trouble on purpose so we'd come get her. Ultimately, we realized that La Petite was not the right fit for our daughter when she didn't improve no matter what we tried and La Petite proved they were incapable of taking care of our daughter consistently and reliably. Let's talk about reliability. Especially during COVID. Don't get me started on the obscene number of COVID cases they had. In November 2021, they had a full outbreak - at least 2 cases they announced, and at least 1 wasn't - the one where my daughter also got COVID. See attached screenshots. This was the first indication that there was a significant concern about La Petite's reliability and management. All that aside, I have very little complaints about how she was cared for, the facilities, or the teachers. My complaint about this facility is about professionalism: The school director, Bianca Wilson, in particular. Recognizing that La Petite wasn't the right fit, we started looking for replacement care facility in the last couple weeks. We fortunately found a replacement school that would have an opening in a month-and-a-half. Simple enough, right? We picked up our daughter from school on Friday without issues. My husband emailed Bianca to let her know to not charge us for the re-enrollment fee scheduled to be charged that coming week. Our daughter got sick with a cold that weekend, and got us sick, so we stayed home on Monday and Tuesday to recover. On Wednesday (today for me as I write this), I show up like usual to drop my daughter off at daycare and I'm stopped at the door by the receptionist, who tells me that Bianca responded to my husband's email on Sunday to tell us that our daughter was not welcome back. Of course we hadn't seen it. Let that sink in for a moment. Had we seen it, that would have been one day notice that we no longer had childcare. But we didn't see it so I was blindsided. No phone call. No sit-down meeting with the director. No notice. No attempt to negotiate with us so that we could work out a plan. This is the height of unprofessionalism and disrespect in a daycare provider. I can accept that my daughter is not a fit for La Petite, but let's work out a plan so that we can transition smoothly. Let's talk about it. An email that was never acknowledged is NOT the way to expel a child from a daycare. That's not the half of it. While at daycare, I asked the receptionist to get Bianca on the phone. She wasn't able to because Bianca was driving. But somehow, Bianca did manage to text the receptionist that we weren't charged for care this week. If she has speech-to-text, then she has Bluetooth or a speaker phone to take my call. So not only did Bianca not communicate with us directly when expelling our daughter, she avoided confrontation about it. I contacted corporate to file a complaint, but they have yet to return my calls after several hours. So instead, I writing our story as a cautionary tale for other parents. If you want professional, reliable, and communicative childcare, then the La Petite on Johns Hopkins Rd in Crofton, MD, is not the right place for you.

From being welcomed at the…read moredesk (I am so sorry I can't remember his name!), to our awesome guides Justin and Jasmine, to Scott who helped at the swing and doing the belay to get us down - we truly enjoyed the whole experience (despite the unbearable heat this weekend). Justin and Jasmine made sure we stayed hydrated, and regularly brought us into the air conditioning to avoid overheating. They ensured our safety every moment we were there. The rope course was insanely fun, the giant swing and zip line were a blast and our favorite part was honestly the rock climbing! Justin and Jasmine were fantastic - we will definitely come back (preferably not during a heat wave haha) and hope they will be our guides again - every single person today made it memorable for my family! Thank you so much!!!

This should be an opportunity to identify a solution comfortable for everyone affected by providing single use options, as opposed to telling my daughter "it's ok because he identifies as a she". It caused an uncomfortable situation for girls and concerns for parents. No young girl should feel uncomfortable or anxious using the restroom.

The space is gorgeous and immaculate, with so much thought put into every detail. You are even greeted by a beautiful macaw parrot upon entering the building! The staff were kind, professional, extremely helpful, and honestly a dream to work with. But the BEST part was all of the animal ambassadors! The children (and parents) were so excited to meet each animal and learn while getting to touch and interact with them. The birthday boy even got to hold an armadillo, an alligator, and a GIANT snake! The party was truly unforgettable. You will not regret hosting your party at Eco Adventures. Don't know how we could ever top it!

They have tons of cool animals, mostly reptiles and sea animals but also some birds and an armadillo. All the employees seemed super passionate about their job, they were great with the kids, and they facilitated the party well. There was plenty of space for the kids and their families and I'd say the adults were as engaged in the activities as the kids. There was free time for the kids to look at all the exhibits, the charismatic host brought out a lizard, an armadillo, a boa, and a cayman to teach us about and let the kids touch. There was time for pizza and a dinosaur egg hunt. Everything was clean and they did a great job sanitizing between animals and doing hand washes before food.
