    Excellent programs! I am impressed by the level of care, structure, and academic rigor this program…read moreprovides, whether it's afterschool support, weekend prep, or the summer program.

    I am surprised there are no reviews on this camp. I wish there were posts for me to review prior…read moreto registering bc then I would definitely NOT have put my kids in this camp. I'll try to keep this short... -Staff mainly spoke Chinese and most of them hardly understood English. All of the TAs are untrained high school kids (we were promised college kids and certified teachers.) Per one of the TAs they had one day of orientation and no other training whatsoever. -First day of camp was horrendous, very chaotic and disorganized. Apparently there were two camps occupying the same school. Some of the younger kids were sitting there crying bc their parents had to go to work. No teachers or TAs came to console them. -Had to buy school supplies (other camps did not require that) -Ms. Li (owner) said that all the teachers were licensed and student to teacher ratio would be 6:1 (which was not true) each class had average 15 kids with 1 teacher (i hope they were certified but i did not request to see any certification) and several TAs. - I was a chaperone for the trips and witnessed such unsafe practices as TAs did not know how to handle the kids. Kids were running all over the place and TAs where just hanging out with each other. First trip was to children museum of manhattan which was a disaster. 3 people per seat on the school bus, not all of the children wore seatbelts, 40 min ride to manhattan on a school bus with no AC in 95 degree weather. Stayed in the museum for literally 5 mins. One parent was so irate complaining that the TAs were not watching the kids and didn't know where some kids where. He was so fed up he took his kid home on his own. Then lunch was at central park in 95+ degree weather (are you kidding me?!). Kids had to pee and needed more water which no one had. -Trips were every wednesdays (4 total)- 3 museums and bowling- kids hated all of them except for the museum in LI bc the older kids got to go outside to the beach and learn about the different animals. -Activities included either kungfu or dance. My kids were not thrilled about it. My son didn't end up participating. -No ACs in the classrooms just fans. -they did not go outside to the park or anything. Only time they went out was on wednesday for the trips -the office has 3 different phone lines but when you call NO ONE picks up the phone!! In the beginning of camp I called to see how my kids were doing but could not get a hold of anyone! very frustrating and made me worry. Finally my MIL spoke to them in chinese when she picked them up and they provided 2 other numbers. The person for one of the phone line didn't even speak english! -My son's kindergarten teacher quit the second week of camp and was never replaced so my son didn't get to learn any english or math as they promised I am thinking really hard for something positive... -I think my daughter did learn something in math and english. They came home with text books and most pages were filled out. -At the end of camp all the kids do a performance. My son did not perform his kungfu but my daughter danced and she did enjoy it. If you're like me and want to find a summer camp that provides learning, fun activities, and safety then do not put your children in AACE summer camp.

    This by far has been the worst camp I have ever experienced. Not only is the communication terrible…read morethey do absolutely nothing according to the daily schedule they have planned. Everyday between 2 and 3 activities get canceled. They make the kids sit on the grass and do nothing. This camp is a real waste of your hard earned money and I would really think twice before sending your child to Oasis camp. I personally will never deal with this camp again nor recommend it to anyone I know. The camp director Charles will sell you on how great this camp is but he's better off being a used car salesman with the false promises he makes. Again please don't subject your child to this horrible summer camp and do your research to find a good and enjoyable camp for your child. Really wish I could've left negative five stars.

    Don't send ur child here, for the amount of money it cost it's nothing like Director Charles…read morepromised. The kids are not doing any of the activities that are on the calendar and the camp counselors are not the best to work with kids. My daughter saw one smoking and that is really unprofessional to say the least. The family day is horrible with games that I could of did better in my own backyard. The food is not great.. restaurant level don't think so. They ran out of water and spoons one day. The Director Charles quit in the middle of the session and they just seem unorganized. I would put negative stars if I could.

    I attended Magic Day Camp for two summers - first when I was 7 in 2000, and again at age 9 in 2003…read more Looking at their website today, I see they've added some new activities like air trampolines and visits to White Post Farm. Back in my day, it was much more limited: swimming took up about 80% of the time, with occasional trips to a run-down movie theater (where half the seats didn't work) and Adventureland amusement park. The one genuinely awesome activity was visiting this old-school arcade - that place was dope, and along with one kind bus monitor named Melissa, it's the only reason this review gets 2 stars. The camp's unprofessionalism and poor care really stand out in my memory. When I was 9, I had a bad fall that left scrapes all along the side of my face and knocked out one of my teeth - thankfully it was just a baby tooth and not a permanent one. Their idea of first aid? A band-aid and ice water in a plastic glove because they didn't even have proper ice packs. They didn't properly inform my mother about the extent of my injuries, so when I got home, she was shocked. She wrote a lengthy letter expressing her concerns about their negligence. Their response? The next day at camp, they pulled me aside to tell me I had "embarrassed them." I was just a kid who got hurt under their watch - what was there to be embarrassed about? The camp's staffing practices were concerning, to say the least. Instead of hiring qualified teachers or experienced childcare professionals, they filled positions with high school students as junior counselors and a few 18-22 year olds as the lead councelors. I remember overhearing them getting their monthly paychecks, well not overhear we were in an open field just sitting around cause that tends to happen there and then someone came with a whole bunch of envelopes and handed them out to them. I remember one girl received just $430 for four weeks of work, and she was visibly upset. At the time, as a kid, I thought that was a lot of money. Now I realize how absurd it was - less than $500 to watch other people's children for a month? No wonder the care was subpar. They were paying teenagers peanuts to handle significant responsibilities. Most of the bus monitors were incredibly mean to the kids, with one shining exception - Melissa. I still remember her decades later because she was the only one who showed genuine kindness. One counselor convinced a little girl to let her "borrow" her cell phone, then made international calls to the Dominican Republic (imagine that phone bill in the early 2000s!). Another counselor was eventually fired for being consistently cruel to the kids - she was clearly just there for the paycheck. While I see they've added more activities since my time there, my experiences were memorable for all the wrong reasons. Based on my time at Magic Day Camp, I wouldn't send my own children there. The administration seemed more focused on collecting fees than providing quality care and activities for the kids. That old arcade was amazing and Melissa was a saint, but two bright spots don't make up for everything else.

    They have trips 2-3 times a week. It is a great place to send your child for the summer. The…read morecounselors in the camps are professional and friendly to the campers, will come again!!!
