My son attended his first season at Camp Adventurewood in 2023 - it was his first experience at a…read moresummer camp and he was a little nervous and shy but all his counselors made him feel so welcome and comfortable and after the first day he was hooked! He loved the variety of activities and made so many new friends. He came home with fun stories each day. I loved that they offered a variety of options from 2 days/week to 5 days. We returned last summer and an unexpected and sudden medical event threw our summer for a loop. They were beyond kind and accommodating. Michael, the owner, personally made sure we were taken care of at a very scary time and was just incredibly kind and communicative. I can't thank him and his staff enough for the support. I would recommend this camp for any family. Its like a classic, old-school summer day camp experience!

My son attended Adventurewood camp for the first time this week. For the most part he enjoyed…read morehimself -- particularly the characters they introduce throughout the week. However, we decided to pull him out for next week because of a very disturbing situation. He shared that a counselor had pushed him with both hands on his shoulders during a capture the flag activity. He had dropped his flag and was putting it back on when a counselor (he didn't know her name) pushed him back hard enough to make him lose his balance and fall. She also barked "you need to reset!" She didn't ask if he was ok or help him up. You'd think if this was an accidental push and he fell over she would say something like "sorry bud are you ok? Here let me help you up" but nope, not a word. A friend he's attending camp with witnessed the whole incident. Since I pick them both up in the afternoons they both recounted this situation to me and both of them noted how inappropriate her behavior was. I immediately reached out to Michael, the owner of the camp. He said he wanted to identify this counselor and get her side of the story. Understandable. My son felt uncomfortable going back the next day but I reassured him it would be handled and offered to drop him off in the morning and stick around to talk to Michael and the counselor. I wanted him to feel safe. Michael identified her (her name is Carson) and said he wanted to talk to her first, which he did a few feet away from me. I heard her say she didn't push him. They then walked over to me and she again denied everything. So we asked both kids to come over and recount what happened. They both did -- in front of her -- and reiterated she pushed him. She denied even touching him. So Michael suggests at this point that perhaps it was an accident and my son responds by saying "how do you push someone like that by accident?!" No response. So I ask her, are you saying these kids are lying? She again said she didn't touch him and at this point we send the kids away. I'm incensed because not only does she gaslight both of them to their face but tells this bold faced lie to her boss in front of the campers and me. I tell her I believe them and I think she's the one lying. At this point she gives me this dirty look - angry, irritated and almost rolls her eyes at me. I turn to Michael and say "and now she's giving ME an attitude?!" Unbelievable. In a follow up call, he tells me how good of a person she is and that this is shocking for him to hear but that she doesn't seem like someone who would do something like this...that she's getting her teacher credentials and he knows her really well. I am getting the vibe he doesn't actually believe any of this and he sounds very skeptical. I respond by telling him that it's almost always surprising when people exhibit bad behavior and that even teachers do bad things...that doesn't make her any more credible in my eyes. He acknowledged that. In fact, it's worse because I would be really concerned to have someone like that teaching a kid. Lack of empathy, accountability, and integrity. I mean, I think it's great he's trying to have her back but there are moments in life when you need to draw a line and act swiftly...these are one of those moments. Because ultimately, this impacts the reputation of your camp. I told him that it would be good to offer training to his staff in case this ever happens again in the future and honestly he sounded baffled and asked me to clarify...I said well maybe tell your staff not to give dirty looks to a mom who's clearly upset that her son just got pushed by a grown adult at summer camp?? I told him that the response to this situation could've resulted in a totally different outcome. Had she said something like "I really don't recall pushing you but if I inadvertently did and made you feel bad I'm sorry - I didn't mean to do that" - I would've went home that morning feeling fine about the situation. When I told him this he said that he's not going to police all her reactions, that she's still young, that she's still learning and made all kinds of excuses for her. Exhausting. Apparently she got a "warning" and will sit out of the flag activity (umm, ok...). He seems like a smart guy and wish him nothing but success in the future and I was earnestly trying to offer advice for how to handle a situation like this better but it fell on deaf ears. I really hope that some kind of learning comes out of this for both of them. Oh and to top it off, my son's friend told her mom that Carson was giving her looks several times throughout the day today and when she asked what kind she said "side eye" looks. NOT COOL. My son also said she was kind of mean to him but wondering why they were even in close proximity when Michael said they'd absolutely be separated and would not see each other? Validates we both made the right choice by pulling them both out. He offered a refund but I'm still pissed about the situation.

Coach Andy is great with the kids, keeps the lessons fun, and teaches them to listen and pay attention to instructions as well as the rules of the game. Coach Andy provides instructional training which is very low-stress compared with league sports. His summer camps are great, too. Definitely recommend Coach Andy and Assist Athletics! We have taken ballroom dance classes with Tony at CCLCF for two years and feel very confident that we can dance when we go to parties or other public events. Tony teaches a single dance in each 6-8 week session, so you develop a strong "muscle memory" for the dance by adding a new step each week. It's much more effective than other dance schools that try to teach multiple dances for a shorter time every week. Definitely recommend Tony's ballroom dance classes!

I want to give Spartan five stars for so many reasons …read more. Let's start off by saying that we initially booked our camp for the summer of 2020, right before COVID hit. We had experienced issues with other camp who we ended up having to dispute with credit card company to get a refund, but NOT with Spartan. They issued refund when we requested it, problem solved. Comes 2021, we were ready to try again. Booked 2 weeks, then my son broke his arm on the first day of summer. Called the owner and explained what happened and she was ready to issue a full refund, but I asked for credit instead. Finally, this year! My son went for two weeks and loved it! We had signed him up for other camps, surfing camp, Steve & Kate, all were fun and good, but he said this was by far his favorite, and asked that we only send him to Spartan next year. I like how they rotate them through different sports/activities each day (I think 9 total), and he came home everyday dirty, sweaty, exhausted but HAPPY! He said he learned new sports, and made new friends. I also really appreciate that they have the store card option available each week you can purchase, so they have $20 they can spend at their little snack shop (without having to send them to camp with cash), and can be used towards Kona Ice on certain days. I think that is a great way for kids to learn to manage their budget and feel independent. Last but not least, at the end of the week, they send pictures and video (included it the registration) to all the campers so we get to see all the fun stuff they did that week! Overall, if you have a kid who loves to spend time outdoor, playing sports, staying busy, I would highly recommend Spartan. The drop off and pick up is super easy. Although sometimes the line might seem long, but it goes fairly quick and I've never waited more than 5-10 mins to drop off/pick up. Counselors were also very friendly and energetic!

She started with their weeklong camps during school breaks and signed up for regular classes because she enjoyed the instruction so much. I have really appreciated how personalized the experience has been. After going through multiple tracks of the year-round art curriculum, my daughter wanted to focus more on portraiture, which isn't typically offered. The Montrose team went above and beyond to develop a portraiture curriculum which she has pursued for the last 3+ years. In addition, the staff has helped us find solutions to accommodate scheduling conflicts that impacted her regular classes. She has developed strong relationships with multiple teachers, all of whom have been incredibly supportive and invested in her art journey. We're really grateful for the staff who have shared their expertise to help her learn and grow as an artist.
