This is in regards to the Lone Star Martial Arts Summer Camp. At first it sounded like a good,…read moreaffordable option for summer care for our boys (6 & 4), but things that concerned us kept happening. Here's some bullet points about our experience: - "Water Time" meant taking the 20+ kids to a private residence to swim in the pool. We don't know whose home it was, or where it was. - my wife picked up our sons, and saw no adults in the room. She gathered their stuff and left without checking out with anyone. (other reviews also mention the scarcity of adult supervision) - Movies and TV are left to mind the children, (which is fine in moderation, but my niece watched 2 netflix movies yesterday and the LSMA website says "no screentime") I did not want to leave this review - just wanted a partial refund for the 3 remaining days that we would not be sending our boys back (they already had our non-refundable registration fees), but the owner Mr Hodge (who would not give me his first name), was adamant that they don't do money back, and then hung up on me. Which makes sense, because this place is a racket.

I also feel like it has given my kids more confidence, they are always so proud of themselves when they get a new stripe or belt. They also teach the kids to be responsible for themselves. For example, if you don't take care of your belt and your stripes come off, you have to back to the first stripe. My kids are very serious about taking care of their equipment. They know they worked hard for that stripe and want to keep it!
