Had a few interactions over the past few years that have left a sour taste in my mouth. Kristen or Christen who works the front desk and main office has been quite rude to me and would benefit from retraining. She also allows a homeless man to sleep at the front door while the building is open which seems like a random task to take on while at work!

I was just reading the review with the sad mother who didnt get the chance to get in. I took my grandson there in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade. It was great for him and a break for his Grandmother and I get get some things done at home and have some personal time for ourselves. He loved it. All the counselors were just great! There was lots of activities and they were all very engaging. They also had themes. And what ever theme they had for that week, there was a field trip on Thursdays to follow it up. For instance, my grand sons favorite theme camp was Superheroes. They had a dress up day where they wore anything from Superhero costumes to Superhero pajamas. And the field trip that week was 6 Flags Marine World where a lot of there rides have a Superhero theme. And a water show where you might see Batman in his Bat Boat chasing the Riddler. The teach arts and crafts, play basketball. They go on Nature walks at the parks. They teach friendship and respect. And there is storytime and Naptime to wind down. And my favorite was Family Movies on Friday evenings where you could watch a great family movie, have some snacks and meet new friends in your community parents and kids alike. Its a gem in the neighborhood. We moved away, but he has some great memories and souvenirs, his camp t-shirts, signed by counselors and all the friends he made at each session. I know were in the middle of a pandemic now. But this neighborhood gem, should never ever shut down permanently. I hope the community wont let it. Did I mention theres a great art class there for adults? Its not just for kids, its a Family Thing.Jacqueline Martin and Joseph Durant
