Are you kidding me? $30.00 a month for my son to have a blast after school? Yes, please! I…read moreoriginally was going to put him back into care with Alliance for Women and Children (who are also great!) but it was just a little too pricey for me. So I tried this venue, and my son loves it! They pick him up in a clean, well cared for van, and he goes to Highland Church of Christ every day after school. They engage the children in games, outside time, and my son even gets his homework done there. He has a lot of allergies, and I have been so happy with how attentive all the counselors are there. This place lets kids just be kids, and it's mind numbingly awesome! The only suggestion I would have would be to provide maybe a summer camp and a camp during the holidays. Other than that... this place rocks. Ten fingers and ten toes WAAAYYYY up. You NEED to bring your kid to this place.

Woke up to the cabin attached to us full of bed bugs and after searching our side we had bed bugs as well along with some bites. All in all had to pack all our things in bags and come home in the middle of the night. The staff did attend to us quickly.

They were great. Very affordable and accommodating we went off season as a family. They rented us a…read morelarge cabin at a very affordable rate

A group of kids who had nothing in common other then had the same insurance company loaded up on an old school bus, and headed off for a 2 hour ride to Brownwood Texas! By the time we came back home we were all best friends! The first time going to camp was scary because I didnt know what to expect and I was homesick the minute the bus pulled away, but my older sister was with me so I found some comfort in that till we got to camp and learned we would be in different cabins! It didnt take long to make friends, and all the camp leaders were really nice, and they kept us so busy with activities you really didnt have time to be homesick or even think about anything other then what you were doing! The camp ground was beautiful, the lake was amazing, the cabins were really nice, and the kitchen and dinning hall were great, the food was awesome, and they fed us really good! They had a Nurse on staff also who would come around check us kids for bug bites or poison ivy and she was like the sweetest old Grandma you could ever wish for! Back then there wasnt nothing that a little "monkeys blood" (iodine) and calamine lotion couldnt heal! We got up early every morning and had a flag raising ceremony, said the Pledge, sang the Woodsmen of the World song, then went to breakfast, then started our activities. We had arts and crafts, archery lessons, rifle range shooting, swimming, canoeing, we watched movies, played basketball, threw horseshoes, roasted marshmallows around a camp fire, sang song, and just had FUN! By bedtime everyone was so tired we slept like babies! At the end of the week we had an award ceremony for the people who ranked highest in the different activities. Every year I won 1st place in rifle shooting and archery and it was the ongoing joke among the staff that I could "shoot a fly off a cows butt from 100 yards away" I just seemed to have a talent for shooting, but I was raised shooting BB and pellet guns so it came natural to me! The last night of camp they would have a dance and every year Eric Grimes asked me to the dance! He was my long time boyfriend who I met at camp, and every summer we spent as much time as possible together at camp and always looked forward to the dance! It was fun because it was like a real date, but it was sad too because it meant we were going back home and wouldnt see each other every day! Oh young love!!! p.s. Hey Eric I still have that gold locket you gave me for my 9th Birthday! :-)
