Where do I start with the most stressful 5 or 6 weeks dealing with this mess. From emails the…read moredirector thought she sent me about payments to the Vice President giving no care in the world about me or my concerns. I was told 1 day before I go on vacation that I am being charged an extra day from previous weeks because apparently my first week I didn't get a schedule in when I knew nothing about this place and that schedules needed to be in on a certain day. I was charged for 4 days the week of the 4 Of July---in which the 4th is paid by the family even though they are closed, The director tells me she thought I meant I would be bringing my daughter in Tuesday thru Thursday...wait that sounds like 3 days including the 4th which fell on a Wednesday where did you get 4?! When We in fact agreed on a 3 day flexible schedule. So I get told the payment hasn't processed go in and pay the adjusted amount(which was still too much if I'm getting a 10% corporate discount) (let's not forget they run a 25% off promo that they don't keep track of after the 4 weeks and make you pay back what they charged you...because they were keeping track) and guess what...I'm DOUBLE CHARGED they never took off the amount I paid first and I get told by the Vice President pretty much that it's my fault and there's nothing they can do...except take my money(She didn't straight out say that but that is what I got from the conversation we had which was awkward and pointless because we got no where and nothing was settled or handled). They took it upon themselves to credit my account for my daughters last week and states I will get refunded the small amount left over per the Vice President lady. It's been almost a week and I have yet to be refunded, so I follow up and ask where's my refund...the director tells me "soon I'll get it".UM WHAT IS SOON?!! IT SOUNDS LIKE NEVER!!! This was my first encounter with a daycare facility and last we took my daughter out immediately. This had to have been the most unorganized, unprofessional, EXPENSIVE EXPERIENCE I have ever dealt with.

My two kids (age 13 &14) enjoyed the experience, but this camp portrays itself different online…read morethan it actually is in person. It's a dorm, not a campground. Any equipment they have for circus is unsafe and outdated. No bonfires, songs, swimming on site, ect. They do take day trips for those that want "water sports" but even with those there are far less actually offered than advertised ( I think tubing was the only actual sport offered). They placed my son (age14) in a dorm room with a 16 year old that wasn't even going to camp there but stays there during the school year for their boarding school. This roommate was working most of the time but came in for the nights; we found that quite unsettling. The counselors were very nice. They are all foreign exchange students and seemed talented but definitely had lots on their plates in terms of operating the camp. For the money, you can do much better. Look elsewhere. If it was $500/week, it might be worth it, but we found SO many better options, with much more secure practices and better facilities for the same price or less.

My recommendation is to send kids with a GPS watch if they are attending this camp. My daughter loved it despite not making any friends in this camp.

They were quick and responsive and everything was all planned via email which made things so convenient! They were straightforward about what to bring for the lock in. The night of, the girls had fun! Lots of space to run and around and be teenagers. All the girls had games the next day, so they came in and all said something about the temperature, some were too hot and some were too cold. One common thing was if they just had blankets on the floor, they were cold. The other minor thing that could be improved - online waivers. I had to manage all the parent waivers. Overall, a great experience! When we went there was only rock climbing and archery available - that said they got their fill of those activities, so we probably would not do it again next year.
