My son had been attending Discover Fun for the past 3 years and has had a great time! everytime school is closed and we need a place of the day Discover fun has been there for us. His counselors show him lots of love always! And Ms. Raven is the best!

Discover Fun is everything a great camp should be! The environment is upbeat, organized, and full of activities that actually keep kids excited to come back every day. But what truly sets this camp apart is the staff — they’re phenomenal. Kind, professional, nurturing, and fully committed to creating an unforgettable experience for every child. You can tell they love what they do. They’re patient, creative, and intentional about making every camper feel welcome and included. The communication is great, the safety is top-tier, and the smiles at pick-up tell you everything you need to know. Discover Fun is more than a camp — it’s a community. If you want a place where kids grow, make friends, and have a blast, this is the one. Highly recommend!

★★★★★Builders Engagement

Discover Fun is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy, the joy, and the genuine care this team puts into every single child. The staff is absolutely incredible — patient, attentive, creative, and fully committed to making sure every kid feels seen, safe, and excited to learn. The activities are thoughtful and engaging, blending fun with development in a way that keeps campers smiling from drop-off to pick-up. It’s clear that the leadership has built a culture where kids can explore, grow, and be themselves without limits. If you’re looking for a camp that goes above and beyond, Discover Fun is it. Exceptional programming, an amazing staff, and an atmosphere that truly lives up to its name. Highly recommend!

Great camp…friendly staff. My son’s been doing the enrichment days and summer camps for 3 years now. Ms Raven’s a great caregiver and my son loves her.

On the first day, I took my child in and immediately noticed how unwelcoming the environment felt. The staff member present—a teenager—wasn’t even paying attention, let alone supervising the group. She was watching videos on her phone while a group of at least 10 (possibly more) kids of various ages were left to fend for themselves. I tried speaking with her to get some basic information—what the plan for the day was, what the kids would be doing—but was met with complete disinterest and a clear unwillingness to engage or answer any questions. If she wasn’t willing to engage with me for a few seconds, how could I expect her to engage with my child for the entire day, or the entire week? The play area was equally disappointing. The toys were in poor condition—many broken or not working—which only added to the chaotic atmosphere. It felt unsafe, unstructured, and completely neglected. There was no way I could leave my child in a place that offered so little supervision or engagement—especially when the camp had advertised a 1:8 teacher-to-student ratio, which was clearly not being followed. Their website and registration materials promised structured daily activities, creative engagement, and attentive staff. What I saw was the exact opposite. So I took him home immediately. Because of their false advertising and lack of transparency, I spent the rest of the week juggling work and childcare—something I had trusted this camp to help with. I requested a refund since my son never actually stayed, but they refused, citing a no-refund policy once the camp had "started." It’s hard to understand how a child who spent zero minutes in their care qualifies as having attended. I also tried reaching out to discuss what I witnessed, and was told, “a member of our leadership team will follow up with you within the next 48–72 hours once we have reviewed the matter in detail.” That follow-up never happened. No one ever contacted me again. It was yet another example of the lack of professionalism and accountability I saw from the start. I’m baffled by the glowing reviews this place has received. Our experience—and clearly that of others—suggests something very different. As parents, we entrust camps with our kids’ well-being. That trust was completely broken here. My honest advice: look elsewhere. There are many better options in this city where your child will be safe, engaged, and properly supervised. At best, this camp offers minimal stimulation. At worst, the lack of oversight creates a very real safety risk. I didn’t send my child here for a single minute—and I urge other parents to think twice before doing so.
