★★★★★Elizabeth BaerMy 13 year old really enjoys the homeschool classes.
★Julia WilsonI would give zero stars if I could. This company should not be allowed to be around children. My son is in camp with them and 2 of the 3 days has been bullied. The counselors have admitted that they are overwhelmed because the group is so poor behaved. They told me that their program director, Ashleah Collver, has to ok sending kids home and that they haven’t had permission to do so. They ask parents for help with ideas to control their kids daily. Activities were lost because of this. One child took a stick and was going to hit a wasps nest. He was not sent home. This child was one of the kids bullying my son. The counselors yelled at him 3 times about it. He was not sent home and started whispering it instead. They were not even aware the second kid was involved. The owner was present for one of the days. He also didn’t notice, nor did he help the counselors with how to deal with problem children. Ashleah told me that they don’t recognize bullying if the counselors don’t hear or see it. Yep. That’s who is running this program. The owner backs her. Please don’t allow your children through this. Worst camp ever!!!!

★★★★★J WalshMy daughter loves her time at Coyle Outside programs. She has done a variety of camps and after school activities at this point and every single one of them has been an outstanding experience. She is always so excited to go and when she comes home has so much to share. She loves Coyle Outside!
