The campers are not aloud to have cell phones. I thought that would be super hard that we couldn't hear from are daughter for a week but the camp has emails available and you can send notes to your daughter or if you need to speak to your kid they will let your child call home. During Covid-19 the camp handled it like pros. I'm super happy my daughter is available to enjoy going to camp for the summer and make new friendships. Mya we will miss you babe girl this is your 3rd year I hope you have fun and I can't wait for you to come home and tell your story's from camp and the friendships your made this year. Swap life Shrek is the theme this year. Have fun babe girl. See you soon

There is a pavilion in the front, but I am not sure what kind of functions it has. There are mostly children playing there with a few adults supervising.

I also would have loved a marked trail around the perimeter trees for when the track is being used by organized groups.

Our experience with Camp Laurel South has been incredibly positive in many ways. Our two daughters…read morehave gained independence, confidence and life-long friendships there. Roger and Dagni care genuinely about each camper; they truly love and support each of their "children" at camp. The staff members are professional, always smiling, cheering and hugging. Their enthusiasm and spirit is contagious. Our children became better tennis players at camp, their swimming skills improved and their endurance levels climbed; but more importantly, they developed new passions, friends for life, and an incredible sense of spirit and adventure that I know will never fade. The variety of activities on A and B days is diverse, and always improving; from sports to arts, nature to science, cooking to fishing, there is something for every type of child. The field trips are highlights, the food is delicious, and the facilities are breathtaking. Camp Laurel South is a magical place that exposed our children to experiences and friendships that simply cannot be replaced. Best parenting decision we've made!

My favorite thing about this park is that I can run laps on the track (which is shaded in the…read moresummer, woohoo!) while my little guy plays on the playground! It sounds silly, but I don't like to just sit and stare at my kids playing, I prefer to *do* something. Since none of the equipment is very tall, I don't feel the need to hover either, which is nice. There is a basketball court in the middle, a smaller tot area under the trees where all the equipment is only waist high, water fountains, restrooms (that are unfortunately only open sporadically), and a covered pavilion with a few picnic tables. This is an accessible playground with a ramp right up from the parking lot. There is always plenty of parking too. Oh and it's sand, not wood chips, which my kids love so they can bring sand toys. One of my biggest factors in rating playgrounds is whether there are friends to play with and this one is hit or miss unfortunately, but I like this one nevertheless because it has something for all ages packed into a small area and it's not directly on a main/busy road. Note: The park is NOT LIGHTED at night, so don't plan on running laps or playing b-ball at night.

Finding the right person to care for your child is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make,…read moreand we feel incredibly blessed that we found this daycare and, most importantly, Ms. Erika. The convenient location and hours have been such a tremendous help for our family, especially with my demanding schedule as a healthcare worker. Having diapers, wipes, meals, and snacks provided is an incredible support and takes away so much stress from the daily routine. It allows me to go to work knowing that my son is not only cared for, but truly being loved and nurtured while I am away. But the true reason this place is so special is Ms. Erika. She is absolutely amazing and has been such a blessing to our family. She does far more than simply care for my son -- she loves him, encourages him, comforts him, teaches him, and makes him feel like he is part of her family. She treats him like her own, and as a parent, there is no greater comfort than knowing your child is spending their day with someone who genuinely loves them. Ms. Erika goes above and beyond in ways that are hard to fully express. She takes the time to understand his personality, recognize his needs, celebrate his milestones, and provide him with the patience, attention, and affection he deserves. She has played such an important role in his growth and development, and I am so thankful for the positive impact she has had on his life. It is clear that caring for children is not just a job for her -- it is something she does with her whole heart. As a parent, leaving your child in someone else's care can be difficult, but Ms. Erika has given me something priceless: peace of mind. I never have to wonder if my son is safe, happy, or loved because I know he is. Knowing that he has someone who looks after him, comforts him, and celebrates him while I am away means more than I could ever put into words. The entire staff has also been incredible. Everyone is kind, welcoming, and genuinely invested in the children they care for. They create an environment where children feel safe, supported, and valued. The communication with families is wonderful, and I truly appreciate how open, responsive, and attentive they are. They make an effort to keep parents informed, listen to concerns, and work together to ensure each child's needs are being met. It is clear that this is more than just a daycare -- it is a place where children are cared for with love, patience, and respect. Ms. Erika and the entire daycare team have become such an important part of our family's support system. Thank you, Ms. Erika, for loving my son so well, for making him feel special, and for giving him a place where he can learn, grow, and thrive. The impact you have had on his life and on our family is something we will always be grateful for. XOXO, Bubba
