Camp Hillard is a warm, nurturing, safe and fun environment. Their staff is amazing with all children. There are so many activities for all ages, activities are all age appropriate and safe while the children are having fun. Their swim program is one of the best around. Their children learn so much in a short amount of time. My 2 girls look forward to going back to camp each summer. I highly recommend Camp Hillard to anyone looking for a Day Camp.

I recently visited Camp Elmwood with my husband to ask for information about the program and…read moreunfortunately had a very disappointing experience. We went in person hoping to speak with someone directly about the camp and learn more about the program. When we arrived at the school the women at the door told us to call a number posted on the door so someone could come downstairs and speak with us. We were never even welcomed past the front steps and were left standing outside the entire time. After calling the number we were simply told the program was full. No one ever came downstairs to speak with us and no one took the time to explain the program or even mention the possibility of applying next year. The interaction felt very cold, dismissive, and unwelcoming. As someone who works in hospitality I understand how important first impressions and "moments of truth" are. Even if a program is full families should still be treated with kindness, professionalism, and respect. Unfortunately, the way we were treated made me feel very small and unwelcome. Based on this experience I would never want to send my child to a place where families are treated this way.

This is a review for the summer camp, only, where my seven-year-old Onondaga Chief has been going…read morefor two years in a row. Adam Wallach and Ken Barer do an incredible job of running the camp, marketing it, communicating with parents, rallying kids for weekly spirit days -- and generally rockin' it. The kids swim twice day and are given just the right amount of freedom for their age. My guy was thrilled to ride his bike around on trails independently (without a grownup following closely) in mountain biking. Picky eater though he is, he seems to eat decently well, carbo-loading every day at lunch. Kids get occasional treats like fruit sushi, which the kids get to make themselves, trips to an ice cream truck, and cold (not-too-unhealthy) popsicles in the afternoon. Our guy kept telling us about eating fresh strawberries at lunchtime that were picked, he said, from the camp's own strawberry patch. (I can't verify this claim; it did seem like it'd take an improbably long growing season and an awfully, awfully large patch of strawberries to supply all those hungry kids for the summer.) Counselors keep the kids hydrated in the heat, buses are shockingly timely (MTA should take note!). Bus counselors do a great job of communicating bus arrival times. Activities are varied and interesting, including options like "mining," water works, pottery, archery, crafts, farming(!), all manner of sports (tennis, soccer, baseball, etc..) -- and there is always something new going on. My guy was excited to go from the moment he woke up each morning. Yes, the camp is guilty of blatant cultural appropriation -- but we get that at this point, there's monetary value in the branding that makes change difficult. At least they're changing the logo in coming years. We'd be thrilled if they actually taught the kids a bit about the tribes of the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois Confederacy that the groups are named after. (Our son reports that there is some sort of small "museum" on the grounds with a few artifacts found on-site.) We did some of our own research. All in all a fabulous, fun way to spend the summer. Our guy is counting the years until he gets to be a counselor himself.

It seemed pretty clean despite kids being everywhere. Adults could fairly easily also use the structure with their kids. Age ranges are pretty big! There's a small area for babies and young toddlers, but otherwise there seemed to be kids between 18 months and 6 or 7 years old in the main spaces. Our favorite part was the larger, open space with balls. There were lots of places to run around. Having an indoor tennis court was unique, but it was a bit crowded on our given day. We entered through the back, through the dance studio entrance, and were a little confused about set-up and cost. I'm surprised they don't have a desk at that entrance.

As any parent, I take pride in throwing my child the best (reasonably priced) birthday party that…read morethey could have. And I thought I found that in The Play Place. I am VERY disappointed in the lack of communication and down right false advertisement that their website displayed. I will take this as a learning lesson for future birthday parties. First and foremost, I would like to say that the two staff members helping were polite and understanding and helpful throughout the party and in no way does this review reflect on them or their service. (A+ to them) Also, I would have no issue going there during open play but in NO WAY would I pay to have a party there again or even consider it to my friends/family. 1 stComplaint: I was informed as seen below from their website that there would be a LIMITED number of the public. I chose the 1st party slot at 11:30am and walked into what looked like 3 other parties going on since there was an INSANE amount of kids there. At NO point was it mentioned that there were sports play and teams happening prior to my party and I should expect kids to "clear out" within minutes of the party starting. The anxiety and disappointment was enough to ruin my whole day. The celebration kicks off with an exciting 30-minute session of play on our Adventure Playground (Open to a limited number of the Public), where the birthday child and their friends can explore, climb, and play together. Once the energy is running high, we'll transition to our turf field (Private to you) for 30 minutes of engaging fun field games, run by your 2 party pros that will keep everyone entertained. The final 30 minutes is in your Party Room for pizza and cake $549 - 15 Party Guests 2nd Complaint: They have a Happy Birthday board which excluded my childs name throughout her whole party! It wasnt until the end of the party that I was informed by party members that her name was never on the board. I believe a staff member overheard us talking since 20mins later there it was. We had the 1st party slot. There was no reason her name was excluded on that day. It didn't matter to me much at the time since the kids are playing and not paying attention and i was so stressed out by other thing to notice BUT it is a big deal! 3rd compliant: The owner mentioned that they will provide veggie sticks, water and apple juice + 2 pizza pies within their package. At no point was anyone informed that these items would come in pitchers! If I knew this, then I would ahve purchased my own bottle water. I wasnt expecting the big bottle water but even the minis would be nice. The last party place we had provided these items so I was surprised it was not mentioned more clearly. So since I kept asking for water, they provided water bottles - which I thought was included and ended up being charged ADDITIONAL for it after the party. No call, no text no explanation just an additional charge to my card for water. RIDICULOUS 4th complaint: The play area ( even when in one side of the playplace) is SOOO big that the poor staff member tried to gather the kids for a game. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE! No child is going to stop playing to hear instructions on a game when there are 5 million other things going on. Plus trying to keep the party together was impossible. The entrance, layout and overall experience was chaotic and unorganized. The list goes on. Not worth the cost.

Last summer they changed vendors for the machine and since then they seem to break quite a lot, and the repairs take forever. For example, currently the leg machine has been out of order for three weeks. And the cable machine is broken every week. So during busy times I end up wasting 15 to 30 minutes waiting for equipment. In the summertime it can get very stuffy inside because they don't have adequate airflow or fans. I have made multiple suggestions in their suggestion box, but as of now seen no results. I am hoping they will be moved to action after reading this review. I give them one more month and after that, I'm switching to somewhere else.

This is a lovely place to spend the day…read more We came around 10:30am on a Saturday. You have to check in at the front entrance and there is sometimes a charge for parking. At the cafeteria, breakfast is first come, first served from 10-11am. They have a very limited menu featuring granola bowls with yogurt, fruit puree, granola, and dried fruits. They also have soft boiled eggs, scones, muffins, coffee, and tea. Everything was fresh, hearty, and delicious. They also serve lunch in the cafeteria, but that requires a reservation. There is a Michelin starred restaurant on the property as well. The spacious grounds are a treat to walk. They rotate the location of the animals so it's a pleasant surprise to happen upon them. We saw goats, pigs, and cows. The pathways have gravel, but they were not super rough. We had two strollers with us and no issues pushing them along. We walked the short loop, but there are longer trails for those who want more. Very family friendly and peaceful for a stroll.

The tour was interesting but rather short and you don't fully see the whole farm. The bakery was probably the best part of the tour since you learn about their whole wheat baking and get to see the mill. The tour was a bit expensive so probably would skip the tour. The tray lunch was good though, the ingredients taste really fresh and you can tell nothing is processed. The farm was large and it was nice to walk around. The greenhouse, the livestock area, apiary, and vegetable field were all really nice to walk around. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
