My 12 year old daughter has attended Outrider Camps for the past 5 years and she always loves it…read more It has been instrumental in developing in her a love of, and confidence in, the wilderness. She knows her way around the healing herbs found in the forest and what berries and plants are edible and which are to be avoided. She learned from Outriders how to safely handle a knife and a fish hook; she's proficient with a bow and arrow and understands the principle behind building a shelter. While these aren't skills she uses elsewhere in her life, she's found an inner confidence along the way, which is important. The camp finds a nice balance between teaching safety and respect while creating an environment where kids can have fun and be a bit wild. As a 7 year old my daughter delighted in coming home covered in mud or ash used for camouflage or natural sunscreen. Over the years she has proudly presented a yellow jacket sting that she "healed" using a herb found in the forest, or a blackberry scratch she'd received when she found just the perfect hiding spot for some game or another. After a day at camp she's tired and yet grounded and happy. The owner is, by his own admission, better at working with kids than with parents. He does seem to have a gift where working with kids is concerned. He is supported by a team of fellow Nature lovers who bring a variety of skills to the table, from herbalism to ornithology to swordsmanship. I feel like he and his team do a great job of creating a good old-fashioned type of adventure in the wilderness for modern day kids.

We are home visiting my mom and I definitely need something to do with my toddler at times. Though…read moreI grew up here I've never had a kid here so I'm at a disadvantage! But I found Bounce has some open gym times and we jumped on it (oops, didn't actually mean the pun) this weekend. I think they have them regularly on the weekend and are having more during spring break. The place is great. There's a section that has about six trampolines and my kiddo loved that--her first time on a trampoline (and I'm definitely never going to have one of those in my backyard so she can enjoy it at a place like this). There were bars and rings, different heights for different kids, and other equipment for them to enjoy. Upstairs there was some stuff as well, and rumor had it there was a slide up there, but we didn't get up there. They open gym for different age groups; there's a preschool group for kids under 5 and then one for kids up to 12 or so. My daughter was probably the youngest here on this particular day but the other kids were careful of her and kind given she's at a different developmental stage as them. I bought a package of six open gym passes (it's six for the price of five) since they don't expire, so we'll either use them on this visit or carry some over to a future visit. They also have some merchandise, like leotards and stuff. After all, they are a gymnastics school. Kids must have their socks and shoes off when playing but adults can keep their socks on--adults have to be right there with their kids as they play--so there are some cubbies in one of the room to drop your stuff. Don't forget to put your shoes back on if you use the washroom though. The parking situation was confusing--even looking at the sign I still couldn't quite figure it out. Just remember to park in an unmarked space.

This is a great spot with so much stuff for littles to climb, push, bounce on, etc. and a big plus is that there are lots of trampolines so no turn waiting! The bathrooms are big and clean, and reception was nice when we came in. It's a little more expensive than the other place we frequent but Bounce does have more open gym times available so it's nice to have more options for most days of the week.

I sent my grandson to a 3 hour afternoon "Animation Camp" in July. On the second day I dropped him…read moreoff to find no supervisor in the area with the children. I walked around and found one, who did not appear to know anything about his class, and vaguely waved him over to join the other children sitting around. On the third day, I discovered that the children were at the center for only the first 2 hours each afternoon, then taken to a park and left, apparently unsupervised, for the remaining hour. While there, my grandson was bullied, including being physically hit below the belt. After this, he refused to return. I paid $180 for this opportunity for him to learn computer animation, and the result was (possibly) 6 hours of instruction, and his humiliation and physical hurt. Shame on this place for allowing this to happen to children.

Each stay has been unique and rewarding, and my son has made lifetime memories and very likely lifetime friends. We attended Catholic Church when my son was little, and my son has been to catechism and received his first communion. That said, he wasn't thrilled about attending a Christian camp so upon picking him up after his first camp, I jokingly asked whether he had accepted Jesus Christ as his lord and savior. He looked me in the eye and said that he had. He said that he had had an experience and decided he wanted god in his life. He assured me that no one had forced him, or coerced him, that it had happened organically for him and that it was a very good experience. The Christian part aside, the camp offers everything from swimming, to horseback riding to go carts. The kids are kept busy, well fed, and well cared for. The one time my son got into trouble during camp we felt the staff handled everything perfectly, immediately notifying us of the situation and how they planned to proceed. Just like anything else, it's not for everyone but for us, it has been awesome.

I am saddened to say that this YMCA no longer prioritizes protecting the youth in its care, nor the staff they employ. Their new facility was poorly built and threw them into not only debt, but an urgency to make money back above all else.

I would not recommend a membership here, and would especially not recommend you work here or enroll your children.
