I would give Camp Cahito 10 stars if I could. From a logistical standpoint, it's easy to sign up,…read morethe drop off and pick up are well organized, and so is the medicine drop off (my kiddo has an epi pen for bee stings). Even adding money to the snack shack card is easy. I've also been put on the wait list a few times and had no problem with that proecss. On Thursdays, there's limited parking and they literally wait at the sidewalk helping get the kids in quickly so you don't get a ticket. The people here are a total class act and really seem to love what they do. My kids come home FILTHY and raving about their teachers: Puddles, Butterfly, Scooby, Walrus, Ant to name a few that I can remember this week :) They also love the archery, the arts and crafts, and of course, the snack shack. Newt, I beleive runs the place. He greets the kids with such enthusiasm and respect and kindness. We even had an incident with our older kid last year and received a phone call explaining the situation with my kiddo right there. He was firm, authoratative, explained what needed to be done next time, but completely appropriate and at the same time reassuring to my son that they were on the same team and in the end, all was good. Did my son cry? Yes. He also clearly got the point, has not made the same mistake, and still loves going to Camp. It was handled perfectly and I really appreciated it. I've seen a handful of comments from several years back with bad reviews about customer service. This was before my time, but I can say those reviews feel foreign to the experience I've had here for now 2 summers. Can't recommend this place enough.

Great camp! Love the location, the program and the staff is great…read more Kids get to be kids and get dirty, do crafts, play, climb and be summertime end of day exhausted. Trees keep it shady and give it an out in the forest feel.

Without a doubt the summer camp at kona kai was so incredible- I don't know how they did it but they even got some navy dolphins to come a do a private show for them.. truly incredible.

The teacher that came out to entertain (Midori) was just fantastic with the kids. She came early for setup and brought all the supplies necessary to build floating pirate ships and a treasure hunt. She was so great with the kids, for the most part keeping eight , 4 year olds focused and entertained for an hour. A miracle! Such a fun experience. Would recommend Whole Child to anyone planning a birthday party and looking for great activities to keep the kids busy, entertained and learning!

Our daughter was very nervous about singing at the camp, but after the first day, she was excited to create her unique song, and make it through. Prince was the camp director, and such a positive influence for all students. By the third day of camp, all students had recorded their own unique song. Day 4, they had a professional photo shoot to create a cover for their new single. Day 5 they wrote a biography, which they presented with their final song and cover art. These were also posted on Reverbnation.com for others to enjoy like a real professional musicia. All students songs and art came out beautiful. We highly recommend this camp to anyone looking to expand their music career.

Great little recreation center with a playground, outdoor and indoor basketball courts, tennis…read morecourts outdoors with 3 hard courts, and a baseball field. The facilities are pretty well maintained and I've come to play sports on all of the different available fields here. The outdoor Basketball Are probably the least well maintained because the concrete has many cracks and the hoops are bent out of shape. The indoor court is smaller than a Full court but is in very good shape. The 3 tennis courts outside are very well maintained and have seating area on the sidelines sidelines with shade. The baseball field field goes in-and-out of good maintenance depending on how the grass is kept up. Most of the time it is pretty good and there are Vavi leagues that are hosted here frequently.

Rating this almost purely from a tennis court perspective. As an avid tennis player, it has been…read morefrustrating how incredibly difficult it is to find public tennis courts since I've moved here. I am glad that at least the courts here are free for the public to use (ahem Balboa Tennis Club ahem), and that is the only reason why this is not a one star review. However the courts themselves are terrible. The top gritty layer of the baseline area is eroded away from years of use, leaving behind a slippery surface that is dangerous to play on. Half the tennis court nets are broken at the top tape part, often allowing the ball to pass through even though it should have gone into the net. Finally, the hours that the courts are unlocked for the public are terrible as well, during business hours on weekdays and closed on the weekends. How am I supposed to play when the only time they are open is when I am at work? Also the park can get pretty sketchy at night time, so I would only come here in the daytime.
