Although he didn't start off as one of the more gifted or confident players, Coach Denis and his team has been amazing at bringing out his best -- so much that this year, his team has gone to an undefeated season. But more than winning tournaments, the coaches teach skills at an approachable, inspiring, and positive way. As for our youngest, he was clearly not ready for soccer. Coach Dennis gently approached me and said that it might be better to try again next year and to just email for a refund. When the youngest is ready, we will definitely be bringing him to the field with his cleats on and ready.

I am a fan of the Clinton Boys and Girls Club. I was a member of of the club back in the 80s and…read moreenjoyed every minute of it. Played on the 95 lb and 110 lb football teams. It was an important part of my upbringing and part of who I am today. The Club was founded in 1964 as a chapter of the National Boys and Girls Club and is the first in the State of Maryland to hold that distinction. They offer soccer, baseball, softball, basketball, cheerleading and my sport, football. You can do recreational leagues or travel leagues (which they did not have when I was coming up), if you so choose. They have some of the best facilities that you can find at any Boys and Girls Club in the area. The ages run from 3 to 16 years old and they have some really good volunteer coaches. The people filling those roles are not just coaches, but they are role models. Their field is located behind the Clinton Library is is a first class field that has a lighted football field with scoreboard, bleachers and elevated announcer's booth. There is also a shelter there with picnic tables under it and more than ample parking available. You will also find 3 softball/baseball fields, some soccer fields and a bunch of green space here too. The grounds are maintained pretty well and the field is closed to vehicle traffic outside of an event or practice occurring there. This is a first class organization and the fees to participate are very reasonable. I highly recommend this Club for kids. It teaches them more than just a sport as it was vital to my development of friendships, and as a person.

This is a camp that actually cares about working parents with times from 8 am - 6 pm without gouging for before care or after care. AND they provide lunch AND snacks! It's conveniently located within walking distance to the Van Ness metro station (red line). Thank you for offering a fair and thoughtful service for kids in DC!

We had high hopes for this camp. To give context to Alexandria parents, we did a week of Browne…read moreCamp (which my girls both said was their favorite in town camp and want to go back to next summer), Campagna, vacations, sleepaway camps for three weeks, and then Steve and Kates. I only bought 5 days for each child and we did 3 days the first week and 2 the 2nd week. I ended up having a babysitter come the remaining three days because my girls didn't want to go back to the camp (a first). There is very little structure to the camp, little to no outdoors time, and the food selection was either a bagel or pizza.....every day. There were no other options available. We packed lunches and snacks and after about a day of the camp my kids were really bored. They spent most of the time on pads or watching movies due to other activities being full when they wanted to do them. They specifically asked me to never send them to this camp again.

They are extremely responsive and communication is quick and constant (weekly reminders sent about the schedule/curriculum, field trip, water play, and adjustments to the curriculum due to weather). We enrolled in about 4 other camps and this is the only camp where my daughter has come home excited to share about the day's activities. Activities are screen free and intentionally match each week's theme. They have weekly water play and field trips. They seem extremely organized. Also conveniently located a short walk from the metro and inside (helpful on extremely hot days). If all goes well, we'll likely just do this camp next year. Honestly think it's one of the better camps in Takoma.

Feedback to improve the camp; please share this with your directors:…read more - stop making kids over the age of 5 nap (or have mandatory "quiet time" where they have to lay down, which is pretty much the same thing) - limit TV watching - answer the phone (I was amazed at how difficult it was to actually reach someone) - not sure if this is true, but my kid reported that there was no paper or supplies to draw/color with during the first week that they attended camp - let parents know what kids are doing each day. The posted calendars and itineraries were pretty bare bones Hope this helps!

The instruction itself is ok but everything else is terrible. Half hour group lessons cost $60 per…read morechild. Lessons are cancelled at least 25% of the time, mostly due to random galludet U. Pool closures. This has been going on for years and Old City Swim hasn't managed to switch pools. There is no place for kids to change because they are forbidden from using the locker rooms (!!!). Old City Swim placed two tiny partitions by the corners of the pool, each can accommodate 1 child at a time resulting in wet, cold kids waiting 20 minutes for their turn to change or just getting naked and changing in the open. Scheduling staff are rude and inflexible. The fact that Old City Swim survives is mostly a comment on DCs paucity of kids swim options. ​

I was very surprised when asked if my son (which is actually my daughter) was potty trained. I…read moreanswered yes and no. I explained my daughter did not use public restrooms. Typically, there is hardly family restrooms to accommodate a father and daughter. The person said ok, but did not send the address to began the lesson as she stated. I sent an email a day before the appointment she said she scheduled and asked why didn't I receive the address. She said very rudely, she needed confirmation if my son (again wrong gender) was potty trained. I responded, that I answered that already and if my answers was a problem, then she should have told me. Her attitude did not align with the reviews and I am very disappointed. In her previous swim class, she was required to wear a pull up underneath a swim pamper and she was a year old. Maybe this can be implemented if you don't trust the parent word.
