I cannot say enough positive things about our experience and we will be enrolling our 3rd child there soon!

Kid's birthday parties can be stress-inducing.You invite the whole class. Some RSVP and show up,…read moresome don't. Some forget to RSVP and show up. Some have food allergies and happily drop their kids off without sticking around. Some bring extra kids in tow. Did I order enough food? Can we keep them busy for 2 hours? (Can you tell I've been through the kid class party ringer?!) The Grit Ninja was an answer to a kid party prayer. My birthday boy had a blast jumping and acrobat-ing around with his buddies. You get the place to yourself, which makes the drop-off thing much easier and relaxed. The party assistants take care of everything. The food is included (just add cake & decorations) and the instructor (a real Ninja Warrior!) is awesome; such patience with a high energy brood! The kids climb, jump, do obstacle courses, swing and attempt the "Ring of Fire!" (No, it's not at all as scary as it sounds, Mom & Dad!) Looking forward to taking my dudes back for their classes too. Grateful for another great place to celebrate and flex your warrior grittiness! :)

My niece's camp class attended the Norwalk location. They couldn't find her waiver, despite us…read morehaving filed it that morning (We'd even received email confirmation of its completion). They made her sit out the activities for more than an hour until they could "find" the waiver. When I accidentally called the Pleasantville location to ask what was going on, they -- a different location -- found it immediately. Clearly, had the Norwalk staff searched under her name they would have found it. When I spoke with the Norwalk manager, she kept reiterating that their system updates in "real time," which seems separate from the problem. While there might have been an issue with their system, I'm more concerned that they didn't simply look her up. Ironically, that lack of basic problem solving makes me suspect their ability to keep participants safe. They certainly didn't make an 11-year-old girl happy.

Super fun Girl Scout Camp not too far from NYC / Westchester - about an hour, give or take…read more The great thing is that the drive up starts to feel more and more like "the country" as you get closer. It's kind of easy to miss the entrance but once you find it, you be able to park and walk to the various campsites. Not sure if this qualifies as "glamping"... There are pre-pitched tents with cots as well as cabins and bathroom buildings with showers, toilets and running water at each of the sites. Apparently there are cabins as well but I haven't seen any kids staying in them (they may be for younger kids, when they're here). There are also covered cooking areas with sinks and hearths for fire building and outdoor bonfire fire pits already cleared and ringed with large rocks. Having said that, these areas are all open to the elements, save the roofs in the cooking areas and the bathrooms / tents. Overall a very quiet, peaceful spot in the woods, with tons of trees and a beautiful lake. This is a pretty great introduction to camping for kids if they've never gone camping before.

We had such an abysmally bad experience with this camp that I feel I would be irresponsible not to…read morepost about it. After 8 years of summer bliss at Pennsylvania Girls Scout Camps we thought we would try Rock Hill. The first year we signed up they cancelled the entire season with no notice 3 weeks before it was supposed to start. This year my daughter was sent home 2 days into her first week for a conflict that was handled incredibly poorly and wouldn't even have been a bump in the road for Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania. To make matters worse they didn't even bother to follow up to discuss with us what happened. We will never go back to this camp and will happily continue driving 2 hours to wonderful Woodhaven, Laughing Waters and Mosey Wood where my daughter is happy and safely away from the drama and incompetence that seems to be plaguing Rock Hill. I'm glad others have had better experiences but beware because when things go wrong they do not know how to handle it.

It's family oriented & there is a coloring station to play at while waiting to use the pool. It's tropically decorated & very cute inside.

None of this information was on the website. We will try and find it on their social medias.

Then of course I go to my fav app Yelp and search after school care. Corbin 's Crusader's comes up as #5 for a general search in NYC, but #1 in the UES area.....hmmm what makes this program so special? After contacting a few programs on the UES I see what makes them #1. Quick response time, thorough, attentive, knowledgeable, all of the above!! I spoke with Peter Corbin, the owner, who answered any and every question. He was patient and actually listened, even though I'm sure it was hard to hear with the summer camp kids running around and screaming in the background hahaha. I got an great vibe overall, read all the positive reviews (not only on yelp), and I'm excited that my little guy will be apart of something so great! Thank You Mr. Corbin! :)

Parents…read morepay a high price and it's well worth it, but they should understand that the most members of the staff (who make the campers experience such a positive one) are payed what amounts to 3 or 4 dollars an hour over the course of the summer. I'm not really sure why this is legal and mgmt's justification is that counsellors receive tips at the end of the summer. (Thank you for subsidizing some of the salaries,) but there are many committed young people who work very hard to make ever camper's summer an amazing one don't share in those tips. I'm sure the owners are doing quite well and it's a shame that a part of their success is a result of taking advantage of The young people who are so dedicated to making Kiwi a success.
