My kid and her friend registered for the last week of summer camp. They arrived at 9 a.m., but…read moreunfortunately, many things weren't open until 10:30 a.m. Consequently, they had limited options for activities. Even the open activities were completely full. When things finally opened, there were extremely long lines, and they were unable to participate in any activities except for a 20-minute sewing session before being excused for lunch. They were repeatedly told to return an hour later on many activities, so they tried the library, which was closed, and then searched for athletic equipment like balls or anything, only finding none that weren't already being played with. In essence, the kids were left with no options and were forced to sit around and observed other kids doing the same, which is not what we expected from what was advertised. I understand that the camp has a high number of kids the last week of summer, but it should not compromise their overall experience. I had to pick them up early because they literally had nothing to do. I am a working mom and was really hoping this camp would have worked out for them for the next day. Therefore, I requested a full refund but nobody ever got back to me about it. Super disappointing and a fair warning for others who are looking to enroll in this summer camp in the future.

This is the first contact I have received from this business since they abused my child 21 days…read moreago. While the director spoke to me initially, she was rude, condescending, and unapproachable. All I got were excuses. I left a message with HQ and NEVER heard back from them. I asked them to review the phone call transcripts because the site director was incredibly inappropriate, spoke to me in a rude tone, and talked over me. I have nothing to hide from the phone call and was calm the entire time she was lying and being rude. I repeat that no one from HQ ever got back to me about my valid concerns or addressed the director's lack of follow-through with on-site protocol. And, after 21 days, it appears nothing was addressed or changed to actually protect kids. My 12 year old is mad they did this to my 10 year old because my 10 yo repeated something another kid said, but said it sarcastically back to the kid. The initial offender who meant the remark never was punished. Instead, they thought the right thing to do was to lock my child in a room by HIMSELF for over 3 hours and not call me. He was screaming the whole time, per my other child and his friends from the camp. Think about that. My child was screaming alone in a room by himself and was not allowed to come out, nor was I called. For a little sarcastic comment he made. I am amazed that the director is still working there. This is a travesty, and she is abuaive and incompetent. We will certainly never return.

They help the scouts by bringing together counselors from like 50 merit badges to work with the scouts to learn new skills and topics. The camp offered Robotics last year and the scouts actually got to build little robots. The robots kind of reminded me of the movie Johnny 5 from the 80's or 90's.

Here are some questions I would ask Why are you using stock photos on your website? Why is there no mention of ownership or an "about us" page They mention transportation in buses and vans. Who is driving and what license do they have to legally drive these vehicles. Summer camps really don't have a lot of oversight regarding standards and accountability. It's up to us parents to research and make sure the people supervising our children are competent, trustworthy, and ALWAYS put the their safety first.

This review is long overdue! We hosted my child's birthday party at The Wonder Workshop over the…read moresummer, and I cannot recommend them enough. Amanda and Rachel were incredible from start to finish. I was so worried planning my daughter's 2nd birthday, and they were unbelievably patient with me, answering every question, easing my stress, and reassuring me that everything would be perfect. And it truly was. They helped me pick a theme and made sure there were activities that appealed to both boys and girls, with age-appropriate options for kids ranging from 1 to 8. They were also so accommodating that they let me set up a small pseudo "tat-two" studio to celebrate her turning two, which was such a hit and made the day feel even more personal and fun. My daughter's birthday turned out absolutely magical. If you want a stress-free, thoughtful, kid-approved party experience, The Wonder Workshop is the perfect place.

Lucretia, the owner, is very nice, approachable, and knowledgeable. I haven't done any of the coding classes (no kids for that), but I've bought from the toy store a few times. There are science experiment kits, codeable robots, Rubik's cubes, and all sorts of fun things. There are options for different age groups, so you can get something developmentally appropriate for your kids. Also, the prices are amazing! Saturdays (during the farmer's market) are especially good for visiting the store, as there aren't classes going then, but you can stop in whenever! I'll definitely be back for more gifts (and possibly myself)!

The grounds have several tennis courts, pickleball courts, a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, and a lot of exercise equipment, including a treadmill, an elliptical, and offer several exercise classes.

I wanted to take a picture of the facilities but I want to protect the privacy of the members and respect them. They also offer a one-day pass for non-members at a daily rate. I usually come after 12 noon and I noticed that there's less crowd. We have used the pickleball court and we had the court by ourselves. You can also do lap swimming in one of their swimming pool There are so many options for you to do at this place and you will enjoy your day exercising or just hanging around by the pool.
