Our son Cruz has been going to Sugar Sweet Farm since he was 6 years old. Last summer, as he was…read moreapproaching 12, we thought it would probably be his final camp season. We were wrong. He signed up again this year, and when we picked him up today, he couldn't stop talking about all the fun he had--just like he did when he was 6. Seeing that kind of excitement after all these years truly melted our hearts. Now, Cruz is already looking forward to becoming a counselor one day. Elizabeth, Farmer Bubba, and the entire team are simply the best. You've created a place where kids make memories that last a lifetime. Parents, if you're looking for an incredible summer camp experience, Sugar Sweet Farm is the place to be. Thank you for all the memories.

They all actually seem to have a big heart for being outside which I am grateful for because it gives that contagious love of nature to this next generation. The activities they chose are all really fun and many of them unique or adapted to fit the week's theme. For example they made fairy houses outside out of natural materials and the staff had to have gotten there early the next day to be sure the fairies left them notes. So sweet and means so much to the littles. Another week they did a fun Tide-pooling scavenger hunt and made these cool nature journals in a way that kids could easily reproduce themselves instead of just buying the journals prepaid. Lots of little touches like that have set this company apart for me. Also appreciated was the customer service and ability to take feedback that I experienced with this company, speaks to the integrity of the staff which is invaluable. Good leadership, staff that really care about kids as well as being stewards of nature. I'm excited to have found them and looking forward to more camps with them in the future.

There are tons of animals to see like fishes, pigs, birds, chickens, turtles, and more. Small activities were also offered for kids to keep them busy. My favorite is the epic view of the lagoon and you can access trails to walk around it. We didn't get a chance to take a walk since it sprinkled rain. Therefore, we mainly stayed indoors exploring all the smaller animals. A tiny gift shop offered snacks, drinks, free coffee, and cute little toys for purchases. The facility is really well maintained. Good spot to make a stop when you are in Carlsbad.

What she found was so much more than that. She found coaches who believed in her, pushed her, and cared for her as a whole person--not just an athlete. Her mental and physical well-being were always a priority, and that kind of care is rare. Because of this environment, she accomplished something we once thought was out of reach--qualifying for Westerns. That moment alone speaks volumes about what this gym and its coaches are capable of. Coach Ryan and Coach Elizabeth--thank you for pouring into her, for guiding her, and for being such a steady, positive force in her journey. And Nicole, thank you for being the heart of the gym--always greeting her with a smile, especially on the hard days when she needed it most. This wasn't just a gym for us--it became home. As my daughter moves on to her next chapter in college, we do so with full hearts and endless gratitude. And the best part? We're not leaving--our two other team gymnasts are proud to continue being part of this amazing family. If I could give a million stars, it still wouldn't be enough.

We worked with NCSA on our sons' combined birthday party. We were looking for a "Sports Themed"…read moreparty for our sons turning 5 and 7. I found NCSA online and reached out to Paul to see what hosting a party with him and his team would look like. I didn't know where to start besides offering up if he had any ideas for kids birthday parties. The whole process of planning the party with Paul was seamless. He was extremely helpful and communicative throughout the entire planning process and was flexible with me when more and more kids were RSVPing yes to the party! He ended up securing three coaches including himself to oversee the wiffle ball, soccer and basketball stations. We had 30 kids at the party and all the kids had a blast! We received really positive feedback from the parents on how well organized and unique the party was to have the coaches there teaching the kids new skills while playing games and scrimmages. I would 100% recommend working with Paul and his team for future birthdays and will definitely sign up for the camps NCSA offers during the summer break!

This is exceptional since any other extracurricular policies don't allow make up classes. That alone is what makes it easy as a parent to have that level of understanding and trust knowing your money won't be wasted here. My daughter loved this program and we had the opportunity for Saturdays and at the Goddard School. She started at age 2 and kept becoming a stellar star student with Coach Dino (had to leave for military) and Coach Donald Duck. They teach kids about rewards and earning Phoenix Dollars where you earn and save for prizes at the end of class. My daughter absolutely enjoyed this incentive! Overall we would highly recommend trying out this program early on around 2-3 year old. I personally enjoy the non competitive atmosphere but appreciate the structure of practice/drills. It is both fun and disciplined.

I spoke with Coach Donald Duck (Doug), and he was incredibly kind and willing to come out to our neighborhood to host a class. Unlike other programs we have tried that required a minimum number of participants, Coach Doug's main focus was simply teaching and coaching the kids. His passion really shines through. He is wonderful with the children. He is friendly, kind, and even a little silly to keep them engaged, while still having the right balance of discipline. He teaches the kids to listen, follow directions, and be kind to one another. Best of all, he actually teaches them real skills for the sport. It is not just running around. He designs fun games that incorporate the skills they are learning, which keeps the kids excited and motivated. Overall, Phoenix Sports has been such a positive experience for our family. We are definitely planning to continue with them and cannot wait to try out the other sports they offer.

Anna is absolutely amazing!

Each program is designed to aid children who need assistance in developing and growing their social skills, and our son has been making leaps and bounds since starting here! Our son has Asperger's syndrome, and Anna has been wonderful in working with him. We did all of our homework, and her credentials all check out (which is something that we always do before working with a service provider.) Both of our boys come for LEGO club, and both of them look forward to it each week, even though we get up fairly early each Saturday to get there. LEGO club proved to be an excellent starting point for the boys, and allowed them to really grow comfortable in the setting before we got the PEERS program set up for our eldest. Now, to the details: the facility is absolutely beautiful. Build inside a dual use location in Carlsbad, the downstairs is set up for the program. Tastefully decorated, it is fun, light, and airy, with plenty of slightly subdued colors that look delightful without being overwhelming. There are plenty of toys, and the collection of LEGO's is constantly expanding. There is a good mix of special needs and typical children, which allows for real interactions that are all supervised and directed by Anna and her staff. Everyone is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accepting. We truly could not be happier! Would I recommend her to family and friends? Absolutely, and have already gone out of my way to do so. If you have a child that is struggling with social interactions, if you have a child who needs a boost, if you have a child who just doesn't quite get it, this is the place to go. We have already seen honest-to-goodness measurable improvements (which as an aside is something that is also done through the PEERS program.) In summary, this program is excellent and Anna makes it all seem so easy. And, if I'm honest, I've probably picked up a pointer or two for applying in my own life as well.

Let me start with the most important part of the school, the cadets. I often see them in the Village of Carlsbad. Invariably, they are extremely polite and respectful, very articulate and mature for their years. They represent the Academy incredibly well. Please come to one of the Academy's military reviews and you'll see an amazing group of young men working together to achieve a common goal. It is very impressive. I have had the chance to talk with several parents and alumni. The feedback I have received has been exceptional. Every parent shares how much their son has grown in his years at the Academy and the amazing young man he has become. They are so proud. The alumni talk about the brotherhood they built with their classmates and how the school positively prepared them for lives after graduation. The Academy's educators and staff have the top priority to build young men of character and prepare them for the rest of their lives. My interaction with them has always been very positive and professional. The education standards are high and there is an infrastructure to support the cadets for success. They provide leadership opportunities so the cadets learn by doing not through lectures. The growth and development of these young men is their top priority. "Forging Virtuous Young Men for Life" incorporates structure, discipline, physical and mental development, leadership and academics. The Army and Navy Academy is truly a home where your son will be given the opportunity to grow and pursue his dreams.

However, when we received the flyer in the mail for Keystone, she loved it.

The security is excellent, you have to show ID to pick up your child, Love that! In addition all the counselors are in the pool except one that is playing games with the kids who are not swimming that day. They test the kids daily to make sure they are in good shape to swim. All in all: A+ for niceness, fun, safety, and variation. I signed her up for two weeks this year but may increase to four weeks next year. The director, Mike is awesome and clearly puts his heart into this camp. Bravo.
