The lady that checked me in wasn't so pleasant so that's part of my star bump. Didn't really get that welcome feeling with her when I mentioned I was a Nationwide Member. The locker rooms were easy to access and very cooled down. Men's locker rooms had a middle room for lounging. The towels here are super large (instead of the normal sweat towels). There's one enclosed room with weight machines, and then a larger open room with smith machines, dumbbells, bench, incline, pulley machines, treadmills/ellipticals and a cardio training zone. They also have an outdoor covered astroturf cardio zone. There is a large heated pool, basketball court and separate studio rooms for fitness classes. My only gripe is that front desk lady and the limited benches they have. Otherwise, this is a solid gym option!

The employees who work the floor should do something about people sitting on the machines on cell…read morephones. I wanted to use the sit down elliptical by the gym and on lady was sitting there with her legs propped up reading a book and the other lady was just sitting there having a conversation with someone else. It's ridiculous that nothing is said about being on your cell phones for extended period of times while others are waiting. It's not my job to ask you to get up if you're not using the machine. Also cleanliness standards are lax.

Scouting is in my blood- I love nature, kids almost always love me & I am not afraid to get dirty!…read moreI am a new volunteer to this council and this was my first time at one of our local camps, located in Orange Park, this camp had to be here long before any of the neighborhoods! Great waterfront access & there is a pool. A climbing tower! I didn't explore too much- there was a leader training I was popping in to show my support for a friend who was teaching the course. She was set up in campsite 8 and unfortunately the campsites need some serious maintenance- poison ivy is overgrown in most of the sites! Fire pits have not been raked and cleaned. In my old council, our Order of the Arrow helped the Camp Rangers every year to clean up and do service around the camps. I have no idea if that is done here, but it needs some tlc. I can't wait to see more of this camp!

Great place for fun activities. For the kids and family.

The program is really good and kept the kid's brain fresh for the new school year. They give a presentation at the end of the week showing off their favorite creations and demonstrating how they work. The advanced campers shared the steps taken to create their masterpieces. Sometimes the robots didn't work and the campers handled the mishaps pretty well I think. The like that the campers were supportive of each other and didn't tease when it wouldn't work. At the end of the presentation they received a metal. I think the kid said if they were there for 5 weeks they would get a trophy. She got 3 metals. Coach K was a great leader and I felt confident leaving the 7 year old at the camp. I like the scanner sign in system. She will be returning next year for sure.

And the guy in the Deadpool shirt said I want some of that, sounding like he was talking about the woman's booty. He brushed it off saying oh she was talking about the kids that is to bad. I am another mom. If I hear this person or anyone else talking like that again while my kids are there I will be forced to find a new gym to bring them to. He did not seem to have kids and looked as if he was flirting with the lady sitting at the front desk. I am utterly disgusted by this. There is small girls wearing skirts, unitards, and other revealing clothing for gymnastics. This guy should not be around little girls talking in this manner.

My daughter has improved so much with her tumbling because the coaches are giving critiques and assisting her over and over again to help her complete a stunt correctly. The atmosphere is great, the gym is clean and everyone seems to love what they do. Any interactions I've had with coaches wether after practice or at the desk has been very friendly and helpful.

We had the perfect weather and tide conditions for kayaking! They were enjoyable and knowledgable. We each took out a single. They also have doubles and other equipment for rentals. Definitely worth it!! Clearly they know what they're doing. We couldn't thank them enough. Hoping we get to go out with them again sometime soon!! We have so many amazing pictures I'll only be able to share a few.

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

Best area summer camp!…read more Camp Crystal, run by the Alachua County School Board, gives Alachua County kids the opportunity to attend a semi local sleep away camp. Area parents will love the shortness of the sessions (Sunday- Friday for one week campers, or Sunday- the following Friday for two week campers.), the short drive there (30-55 minutes depending where you live in Gainesville), and the lower cost (under $600 a child.) Kids will love the beautiful grounds, fun atmosphere, and the awesome classes (kayaking, paddle boarding, water sports, wake boarding, art, frisbee, newspaper, soccer, lacrosse, yoga, and so much more!) Because it is such a desirable summer camp, registration is not easy. Those who have attended a session can continue attending that session without much effort (with just a commitment and later payment) vs others (first time registrants or those looking to change sessions) who must be online at a precise moment and move quickly to try and snag the few available spots. Registering for the first time can be a stressful hassle, but it's absolutely worth it! Once your kids have attended this camp, you 100% understand why everyone is so desperate to have their kids attend. My daughter just completed her fifth year, while my son just completed his second year. Both absolutely loved it! My husband and I enjoyed the short week of no kids life, but loved being able to see and hear how they are doing through the Camp Minder email system, and the photos published nightly. Camp Crystal is truly the perfect taste of sleep away camp for us lucky enough to live in Alachua County!

My 10-year-old has been enrolled at Urban Youth Park for several months now, and he absolutely…read moreloves it! He's really into parkour, and the weekly program gives him a great mix of structured learning and active play. The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and I appreciate that they break the kids into smaller groups of about eight, which helps keep things more manageable. That said, with so many kids in the gym at once, it can get a bit chaotic. The instructors rotate frequently, which makes it harder to track individual progress, but on the plus side, it means my son gets to learn from different coaching styles. The staff is on the younger side, but they bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm, which keeps the kids engaged. One thing I really like is how they change up the course and layout every week and focus on different themes to keep things fresh and exciting. Overall, it's been a great experience, and my son always looks forward to going. A little more consistency with coaching would be nice, but if your kid is into parkour, this is a great place to train and have fun! They also offer a paid trial class and fee for open gym if you're interested in checking it out. They also have themed special events such as Fortnite Night, Minecraft, Ninja Warrior Night, etc. They also offer options for camp and focused clinics.
