“This place is amazing. My son did 2 weeks of summer camp there last year. Literally has asked me every weekend since, when he gets to go back. Honestly, everything about the place is absolutely amazing. The staff there are incredible. They are wonderful with children of all ages. The activities that they plan are very age-appropriate while being fun!”
