    General Smallwood's memorial
    David H.

    This park is one of the smaller ones in Maryland's park system in terms of camping sites etc. There are about 18 or so sites. Sites have electrical hookups, some appear to have water hookups as well. I canped in a tent so you may wish to check the website for confirmation of water hook ups etc. There are also some tiny cabins with air conditioning and electricity for rent. There is a bathroom facility with hot water showers and flush toilets in the camping area. Only two shower stalls in the men's side so depending on the time of day you might have to wait. This state park does not allow swimming but does have boat launching ramps and marina slips for rent. If you like to fish you will love this park. There were people everywhere fishing. A wooden footbridge connects the campground with the marina area. The park us on land that was formerly owned by General William Smallwood. He served in the Revolutionary War. His memorial and house are open for visitation seasonally.

Sometimes they'd go to the park in Clifton (for a lot of the same team building exercises my wife's company had done there); on another day, the kids went caving; and on another day, they went canoeing and swimming. Every evening, she would come back exhausted and happy. What more can you ask for?

Most people know Adventure Links for their popular camp programs for children and teens. However, they also offer stellar corporate team building programs, which is how I got to know them. About five years ago, as the CEO of a growing company of 20 professionals, I was struggling with how to address some growing pains and spice up our upcoming quarterly retreat. A friend recommended Adventure Links, so I scheduled a meeting with Anna, the CEO. Anna came to my office and interviewed me to understand my business, our challenges, and what I hoped to accomplish. She asked many questions, listened, and took notes. The next week, we took our team of 20 to their retreat location. Anna and her team had put together an all-day agenda of activities that went way beyond simple ropes courses. What surprised and "sold" me on them was how she'd managed to incorporate our growing pains into her exercises in meaningful ways. Sure, we had fun and bonded, but more importantly most of us began to see certain everyday problems in meaningful new ways, with fresh solutions. To this day our team references those exercises like old Seinfeld episodes. After each exercise - some physically challenging and all mentally challenging - Anna would bring us together and help us draw correlations to some of our corporate issues. It helped that she has a sharp wit and great sense of humor. She and her team also knew when to push and put us on the spot to drive home a point. Six months later, we wanted to bring Adventure Links back for another quarterly retreat, but this time due to bad weather we had to do the exercises in our office. They totally pulled it off! The indoor exercises were unique and again gave us a fresh perspective on both issues and people. An example - during one intense exercise where we split into two teams, a junior staff person had a "eureka!" moment with a brilliant solution to a problem, and spontaneously took control of our team, which included several executives. I had no idea this young lady was so intellectually gifted and capable of leadership under pressure. How valuable is that information for an employer? My firm has engaged Adventure Links several times since then, all with success. When my children are old enough, I'll be sending them to the Adventure Links camps...I know they'll learn and have fun. Adventure Links rocks!

    Our son went to TD for 3 yrs. during which he obtained a black belt. It's a great place for…read morefitness, and for after-school care, if this is what you need. They have a separate area for homework and transportation from the area schools. As far as TKD, much of the curriculum is focused on testing for the next color belt. This is where my review gets negative. As long as a student shows up to classes, they will get a belt. We paid $45 every 6 weeks for their promotion test. This is besides the monthly fee. Not every student will acquire the same level of skill, nor effort, but everyone is "encouraged" to take the test. No one "fails" the test. Hence, when the $450 fee for the black belt comes, and you wonder if you're just buying the belt... Be mindful that for a black belt, in other martial art disciplines a student needs many, many more years of experience and a certain level of maturity. Is a 10-yr old a true black belt? Not really. But consider that most TKD academies in the region follow a similar business model. The masters that have served this particular location have changed. Some are more skilled than others, but good and engaging overall. Not every parent can be happy though. I've had parents bring up situations of apathy and/or favoritism several times. Also, except with after-school sutdents (they pay more), if anything comes up, don't expect management communicate much with parents. We hardly received e-mails and then wondered what they just didn't reach out to us. My advice is to shop around and ask other parents.

It is so nice to see someone love what they do and have a positive influence on the kids. As a matter of fact, the entire staff is wonderful. My son couldn't wait to go back to camp when we were on vacation, and has begged me to put him in after care. Great people to work with.
