    Do not send your child to this "camp". There is no adult…read moresupervision, other than the lady who owns it. There is a small, dirty pool for the children to use daily, which has nothing to prevent accidentally falling in, no life saving equipment, and depth is unmarked. I cannot tell if the owner or any of the teenagers working for her are trained in lifesaving or first aid. The only restroom and changing room (one for both genders) for the children is in the owner's house, on the property. After my child's first day at the camp, I discussed with another parent, whose child was also in the camp (very close friends of ours), my concerns. The second day camp, my friend called the camp and spoke with the owner's teenaged daughter about our concerns. (this daughter keeps track of payments etc....not the adult owner)The daughter put my friend's mind at ease. 20 minutes later the owner called my cell phone several times in a row before I could get to it. Seeing that it was the horse camp I panicked, thinking something had happened to my child. I called her back. She said, "First of all, have you paid?" (I paid my deposit and tried to pay her the first day with debit...to which she said to pay her cash....hmmmmm...anyway we discussed the payment and I was to give her a check on the second day when I picked up my child) I asked if my child was ok. She was. She accused me of trying not to pay. Then...."and secondly, so and so's mom just called. Do you have a problem?" In a very aggressive way, she accused me of going behind her back and talking about the place to my friend and other parents. At my friend's advice, I called owner back because she wanted to "start over". She apologized and went on and on about crazy stuff....talking so fast I could hardly understand her. I just listened. Then she started talking about my payment and said that she was upset because we had no communication about payment. At this point I finally spoke. I told her she would get her f-ing check.....then she cut me off and told me to come get my f-ing kid. 10 minutes later, while I am on my way, she called again to tell me to come get my kid and hung up on me. At this point I called my husband who was closer to the place than I was and certainly not as pissed off as I was, to go get her. 10 minutes after that she called me again to know when I was coming to get my kid. At this point I was being a smart ass and told her that we would get there when we got there. Then she asked me if I was mentally ill and repeatedly, like a chant, told that I needed medicine. I had to interrupt her chanting to ask her what time she would like me to tell the police to come to uninsured, unlicensed business. The first day I had ever spoken to that woman my gut instinct told me something was very off. In addition, my child was stung by a wasp on that 2nd day and none from the camp even told me.

    We have been members here for about 5-6 months so far, going about once a week to a class that…read moreworks out either for Wednesdays or Saturdays. Overall I'm a solid 4.5 / 5 for it. The inside is pretty clean and continuously rearranged week to week based on planned activities. The speaker they use to play music is not too loud for those out there with sensitives. The staff welcoming you in is nice to greet you in and out, and the experience is typically a pleasant and fun atmosphere. This has been a great way for our ASD level 3 child to have an opportunity to be included and participate when he wants to. The structure here is not as strict as like a "Kidstrong" gym where they're constantly trying to round them back to participate - if they don't want to or are not feeling it, then there is no pressure here...and for this family it is appreciated. The "one person per kid and no more" is pretty strictly enforced, to the point of being called out privately during the session for any newbies that may not know. I was pretty annoyed by the way the instructor I had handled it at the time. If I had known kindly or with a sign that made that more clear then we would have not got in trouble, lol. Anyway, there's a viewing area where you can sit and watch in the distance. My -1 star here is around some of the equipment. I hit my head so hard once trying to keep the kiddo safe that I'm pretty sure it was a mild concussion. So, take it from me, be aware of your surroundings. Not all areas are fully padded up, so don't think this is a "my kid can play and I get a break" experience. Prepare for one of you to be hands-on and active - otherwise, someone is getting hurt at some point. My examples are no covers on some of the hard edges on the windows, and to the equipment involving on the hanging bars near the entrance and viewing rooms. I would definitely recommend a strategy around your attendance based on whether or not school is in session or not - it seems that the number can be quite excessive in attendance at times, so if that is a bother to you or your kiddo then plan accordingly. See you there! At least until we breach wanting to cancel one day - our kiddo loves it so much i think we're here until he's burned out on it.

    I went to Wesley Woods as a 12 year old and many years earlier. And I didn't think they were very…read morenice to me. They treated some of the other campers like they were God's gift to the earth. But, they very clearly weren't nice to me. I went there several years because my parents thought it was a good camp. One time I was in one of their caving trips and they were taking such good care of some of the other cavers. But, my being 12 they were not being mindful of my safety 100 feet down in a cave. I lost my grip and fell back on my helmet (which would've been my head) and they acted like they didn't give a darn whether I fell and broke my head or not. There are more examples. But, these are clearly not empathetic Matthew 25 Christians. They're more like Old Testament vengeful God Christians. And their showers smell like mold.

    When I was in the fifth grade, my class took a field trip to Camp Wesley Woods and I can honestly…read moresay that the last day of this particular field trip was one of the most miserable and humiliating experiences of my entire elementary school career. As a ten year old who had been terribly afraid of heights since I was in early grades, I'd planned to tell the instructor that climbing the rock wall at the camp wouldn't be an activity that I was interested in and that my fear of heights would cause the activity to be completely unenjoyable. When we arrived at the rock wall, which was our last stop of the day, I was ready to plead my case to the instructor but he didn't even give us time to say anything before he was giving us instruction. He quickly informed us that this wasn't "sit around and do nothing camp" so we'd all be required to at least attempt to climb the ladder leading up to the wall and touch the first two steps of the wall itself. It was raining fairly hard that day and the wind was blowing pretty badly. The ladder was swinging rather than being planted firmly on the ground and I was crying before it was even my turn on the wall. A few parents that were chaperoning the trip had attempted to calm me down but the instructor completely failed to notice that I was distressed at all. From the moment I set foot on the wall, I began crying and begging the instructor to let me down. The instructor completely ignored me and told me to at least touch the first two steps on the wall. I was crying in front of everyone in my class group and I was completely humiliated and terrified. No matter how much I begged the instructor to allow me to quit climbing, he continued to ignore me and "encourage" me to complete the climb. I was practically shouting at him over the rain and wind and he was still completely refusing to let me down. After being up there for a while and finally mustering up the courage to climb up to the steps, the instructor finally let me down. He pulled me over and told me how proud he was of me which didn't solve the fact that I'd just cried and begged in front of my classmates and that I was humiliated. This felt like a way to try to justify making me continue to climb the wall after I'd begged him to let me down, so this only made me angrier. As a fifth grader, I didn't feel comfortable demanding the instructor to let me down, and he made it seem like it actually mattered if we were able to climb a rock wall. To be blunt, there is a difference between encouraging a child to face their fears and forcing them to do something that they're so completely afraid of and that they are clearly telling you they don't want to do. As a high schooler now, I still remember this experience as one of the worst experiences of my entire school career. I'm also still afraid of heights and wouldn't climb a rock wall to this day so if the director thinks he accomplished anything that day, the only thing he managed to do was ruin my opinion of the camp and my respect for him. I would never recommend Camp Wesley Woods to anyone. I would never allow any children I have in the future to visit this camp and will forever remember my experience there as a miserable one.

    This was our first time at the Muse and it was honestly a 3 or 4 experience, but not because it…read morelacked awesomeness, but because we chose a horribly busy day to come. Thus, I didn't reduce stars due to the crowds alone. There was a summer camp and the largest field trip group that they had all summer (according to the workers) with every station so crowded with space and sharing-oblivious kiddos. We asked the workers if they post field trip info online so we can avoid those days and they said you must call ahead of time to see if anything is scheduled. CALL AHEAD, y'all. They also told me that after 12:30 is the least busy time of day. As a heads up military, first responders, and educators get a discounted ticket (for self, not the entire party). My UT prof husband paid half-price. The staff is very friendly and working hard to keep the areas stocked and clean. A moving target, but they did their best! ;-) There is a gift shop, an amazing hand-washing station independent of the bathrooms, STEM areas, outdoor water and bubble play, a playground, a garden, forts, science experiments, train tables, play food/nutrition area, a giant lite-bright, rocket ships, race tracks, and numerous wind tunnel/scarf tubes (totally the technical term. ha). So many areas for kids with sensory needs and everything is very interactive. We have a membership to Children's Museum of OR, and in comparison, this is much more hands-on learning than the historical feel of OR's. I felt that the Muse is a great fit for the younger kiddos (toddlers, babies, etc) with it being all one story and easy to navigate, huge crowds aside. Amazing museum. Just know to call ahead so you're not overwhelmed. We plan to go back again soon and pay extra $3 p/p for the planetarium.

    Our 7-year-old wanted to check out Muse while we were in town. They have a STEM focus. The staff is…read morevery nice. We met several while drawing in the art area. They have a nice dome show. Ours was about the Apollo missions. Other areas are fun and he had fun for the first part of the visit. They do have a small sensory room but other kids were being very loud, so my son could not enjoy his sensory break. The outside area is great. The downside to the museum is that it gets busy and loud. If your child does not like loud places then they will have a tough time.
