Powered by GoogleWe have tried several different summer camps before ESF and this is the one camp that my kids want to come back every year. My daughters have been going to ESF Summer camp for the last few years and they enjoyed the variety of programs ESF has to offer and couldn't wait for the summer to come. They are even willing to shorten our vacation so they wouldn't miss a day at ESF camp. For the parents, the free before and after care makes the cost of camp totally worth it. The camp is right across the Grosvenor metro station and I can drop them off as early as 7:30 AM and pick them up as late at 6:00 PM. The counselors at the camp are really top notch, I have met and spoke with many of them throughout the years and I can see they really care about my kids' safety and well being. The camp directors are professional and courteous, they constantly seeking parents feedback and make improvements immediately. I really have nothing but good things to say about ESF camp and I believe we will keep coming back to ESF for years to come.
Our son has attended ESF Sports camp for the last few years and asks to go for the entire summer. What we like most about ESF is that it has a variety of sports rotated throughout the day, including tournaments with other ESF branches and special guests. There also are daily swim classes with the option of supplemental private instruction, which was a bonus for us. Each week has a character building theme (gratitude, teamwork, etc.) as well!
