They keep us well-informed about my son''s activities and progress. My son is genuinely happy at Imaginemos Oruguitas, and that means the world to us.

I'm hesitant to write this review but as I trust the Yelp community's reviews to make decisions on…read moremy kids' camps, I hope this helps give insight to prospective parents. ** They left my 6 year old alone outside for an entire class session. The first day of camp had water play. My kid's shoes got wet so the counselor helped her put them in the sun and had her sit on a bench to wait. Then everyone went indoors for other activities, leaving my kid alone outside. She was not able to get to her shoes because the pavement was really hot. After a long time, she finally just ran over to her shoes. A counselor then found her and brought her to art class when they were cleaning up after the activity. I don't know exactly how long she was left outside on her own in the hot sun, but being that a class ended in that time, I'm guessing 30-60 minutes. She came home near tears. I called Tony who was 90% business-apologetic and 10% defensive (claiming that she might have only been out there for 10 minutes, as kids don't have a strong concept of time). ** There is NO check in and check out protocol. There is no checking off of names when they arrive, and no ID checking during pickup. And obviously no head-counting when camp is in session. ** I can't speak for all the counselors, but all the ones that I saw during drop off were quite young (teenagers) and just talking with each other rather than interacting with the kids. Some of them were chatting with each other as they made friendship bracelets. ** They struggled with enrollment this summer and sent us many emails the weeks prior, encouraging us to spread the word. This is fine and understandable, but I felt they took it too far when my daughter told me that they were telling the kids that "Galileo is boring" and negative statements about other camps. ** On the last day of pick up, my husband went to pick up my daughter and found Tony getting in the kids' faces and yelling at them, drill-sergeant style. Tony was saying how he was fed up and how they weren't listening. While I did not witness this, my husband was quite shaken up and wanted to file a report. (We didn't, and felt it was better for us to share our experience and let parents make their own decisions) All this being said, there are some positives about this camp. The material and communication prior to camp was impressive. Tony was responsive when we had the issue the first day, and he did follow up the following day to check in. He was also flexible with allowing my younger daughter to drop out earlier this summer due to schedule conflict and charged us a reasonable fee. My daughter did have fun at moments, and came home quite happy with her face painted one day. For us, the negatives outweigh the positives by a landslide, and we don't be going back.

One email had 1415 words! it is really hard to keep up with them - they removed my kid from the classes (the day before they started!) after i gave them feedback on streamlining their communications.

This past year they were super soft and yellow. -Hobee's always provides coffee cake and oranges. Nom, nom, nom. -Bring glow in the dark necklaces & bracelets!

Cons: -If it's a warm evening, you'll need bug spray! -The start of the race always gets bottle necked. -You might have to park far, far away if you arrive later for one of the runs. The parking situation improved for me the last couple of years, but I always walk. -There was a freak thunderstorm that came out of no where in 2011. Can't really fault the organizers for that one.

The Palo Alto Moonlight Run is an annual event held near the City of Palo Alto Baylands Athletic…read moreCenter. It is usually run in Late September or Early October and coincides with a full moon. As you can guess, it is run at night, under dark conditions, only by the light of the moon. There are actually 3 parts of the event: a 5k Walk, a 5K run, and a 10k run. Plenty of families and amateurs participate, and the gathering is more than just a race. There are a lot of booths and other smaller festivities going on in the nearby baseball field hosted by sponsors of the event. The run itself goes around the Palo Alto Baylands area, including around the local airport. This is a very fun event, though probably not for the hyper-competitive runner, as the trails are narrow, and since people are running in the darkness, you have to be careful not to trip over things. Exercise caution in the early parts of the race when the crowd is bunched up. A lot of kids run the event (and they often beat me...), and times are accurate and computerized. It is run like an official race, but I advise not to take it too seriously. I like running the 5k, but may upgrade to the 10k next time. Aside from that, it is a unique and fun event. I rate it highly because it has a pretty dedicated following, has something to offer for multiple people, has local flavor, and is pretty neat to run in the dark. Hope to see you out there!

I don't know how one can be a cyclist and give ACTC a low rating. This club is huge, with thousands…read moreof members and 5-10 rides every day. Rides range from short social slow-paced to hardcore-millions-feet-of-climbing-with-no-bathroom-stops, so you will certainly find something to your liking and skill level. They have a bike academy, which is 2 6-week modules held twice a year - you learn basic biking skills, such as lane positioning, gearing, etc. and more advanced things, like adjusting brakes and riding in a paceline. It's a lot of fun, even if you are an experienced cyclist, and the instructors are AMAZING people! A few things that are more on the negative side and worth pointing out are the snobs and the average age of the members. Snobs are not really the club's problem - it's just the way cyclists are. There has never been a ride when someone didn't try to make me feel like an inferior piece of crap because I don't bike to work, don't have the coolest gear like they do or don't ride a century every day, with 7,000 feet of climbing, in 2 hours. Cause hey, that's how you need to prove you're for real. If you have enough patience and can ignore this, it shouldn't bother you as much. The average age is an interesting issue. Most riders seem to be way over 60. I guess that's when you have a ton of time on your hands and a lot of money too - cycling is an expensive hobby to have. There are not that many people under 40, and those that are tend to be hardcore pros, so I can't really ride with them - they take off and disappear. So, if you are looking to socialize, and you are under 40, this may not be for you. If you are looking to become a better cyclist, riding with older people is great - they are in great shape and ride very fast, but not too fast so you can keep up.

They are a great way to meet other health-conscious people and explore the little-known back roads and bike paths in Santa Clara County and the surrounding area. Most beginner green-coded 'Grizzly Bear' rides have about a dozen people and many leave from the centrally located VTA lot near Coleman x Winfield (near Oakridge Mall) and go to downtown San Jose, Los Gatos, Saratoga, or Morgan Hill. ACTC.org's online calendar posts the rides, states how many miles, and rates them on difficulty, since some people (like me) don't like hills, while others love them! No RSVP is necessary; just show up. There are mountain bike rides, too. Most rides include a coffee or food stop near the end. The club sponsors several large annual rides and overnite camping trips, too. ACTC Membership ($25/yr for a family) includes accident insurance, mileage tracking, a Bike Academy for teens and newbies, a July pancake breakfast, with Awards given at the end of the year; it is a great bargain!

My friend Monique and I decided to roll out of bed on a Sunday for a 7am start time of this 30 or 50 mile bike ride. Well, the 30 miler was billed as a beginning to intermediate ride. Folks--it was not. We hit the hills by Canada College near Woodside and OUCH--straight uphill. Knees uncooperative. Furthermore, this lovely little race was put on by the Rotary Club and claimed to be "fully supported." To that I say, "My ass!" or rather, "My knees!" Monique and I waited for a while for "support" after conquering the first set of three hills. My right knee was not in a good way. We finally gave up and rode gingerly to Robert's Market for hot chocolate. This race was a bust, and the $45 entry fee hopefully went to a good cause, because...otherwise I might be tempted to scream GIANT RIP-OFF. Oh wait, it was a giant rip off. Kids, if you want to go on a bike ride, just head to Woodside or Skyline and go biking. You'll get about the same amount of "support." God bless the Rotary Club....
