It's a wonderful opportunity for the kids to be outside all day, meet new friends, and learn about the environment. The Director, Phil, and his counselors are knowledgeable, dedicated, and so fun. My kids are thrilled when I drop them off and can't wait to tell me about every part of their day when I pick them up. And, boy, do they sleep well that night! I wouldn't hesitate to sign up for a grown up camp they might offer!

If you crossed a Valley Girl with a Jersey Shore Girl, you'd have a Valley Shore Girl, and she…read moremight well work out here, at the gym named after her. That sounds hot. In some regards, this is not a bad YMCA, and I left some important stuff here (cellphone, Anker charger), and they saved it for me which was great, and saved me a lot of money and stress. I was able to go back and get it late at night, even when they were supposed to be closed. They didn't have any problem letting me in at closing time, and were pretty friendly about that. And pretty friendly in general. On the other hand some of the equipment is really old and several of us got kicked out when the section that we were using was needed for a class - and this kind of thing is a big No-No when you're paying members - so I'll give it a 4 but it could have easily gotten at 3 if they weren't so great about the stuff I left behind.

Pony parties are a great activity.. the package usually allocates 2hrs for the party, 1hr for the horse ride (unlimited kids and unlimited rides) in an indoor arena and 1hr for food,cake and presents... it's about $200 for 3 horses & $25 for additional horses. The rooms are equipped with a refrigerator, table& chairs all you need to bring are decorations cake and pizza... that make it easy-peasy! The stables are well maintained and clean...Additionally, they also provide horse boarding, summer camps ($250 a week), and riding lessons. I was there while they had lessons and I thought they provided really good attention to the rider... I think summer camps would be a gr8 way to start off for my tot and see if it evolves into something more.
