F.I.T. Kids Camps

★★★★★Cosmo Zimik

F.I.T. Kids camp is one of the best summer camp and evening martial arts program that we know of and we have done Summer camp for over 15 years ourself. I highly recommend this place as it is more then just camp for kids but a place to raise up future leaders and you will benefit greatly from it.

Definitely the best summer camp in North County! Many activities and life skills being taught. Free early drop off and free late pick up helps alot.

F.I.T. Martial Arts is a great place for kids to learn discipline, confidence, and respect while staying active. The coaches are professional, patient, and genuinely care about each student’s growth. The Kids Summer Camp is especially well organized and keeps children engaged and learning new skills. Highly recommend for families in the St. Louis area looking for quality martial arts training.

Field trips are pretty much non existent, park, fire station and police station. That's all that's it. This was her second year, last year was understandable about the lack of field trips due to COVID-19 and some places still were not accepting large groups at that time. This was the same 3 places, nothing more. My child was bullied often but yet they say bullying isn't tolerated, when she stands up for herself and fights back, she's the issue. Coaches did not listen to her or myself voicing the concerns. I paid for a uniform another kid took her uniform out of her bag and has never been found and was told oh well it happens. EDIT: sorry, these were not typical kids situations or disagreements, she was bullied, it was addressed with you all at the time, and wasn't taken seriously then and a 2 year later reply on a review definitely not take seriously now. We gave it a try for 2 years at this camp, but the bullying was the last straw. We absolutely love the camp we chose after leaving there, and have been attending the new camp every summer.

Please be aware!!! Worst experience ever. My card was charged over $800 before the first week of camp. I informed Pastor Ray (the owner) that 1 of my children will not be attending 2 weeks prior before camp started. Pastor Ray emailed me back and agreed. 2 days later my card was charged multiple times. I spoke with Pastor Ray’s assistant who stated I need to schedule an appointment to speak with him. I sent multiple emails showing receipts of all the transactions that I did not approve. No response. I finally show up to the camp because no one would answer my calls or emails. I sat in the office for over 45 minutes waiting. I finally got to speak with Pastor Ray and he stated I will not get a refund even though I told him in advance that my child would not be attending. (My child NEVER attended the camp.) He said he would not refund me because I signed a contract. He also stated that he would charge $30 per week for each week of the summer as a cancellation fee. I tried to reason with him and help him understand that I sent in documentation stating my child would not attend his camp. The entire situation was shady and fraudulent which surprised me because they are Christian based. If you send your child there please check your accounts REGULARLY! Pastor Ray refused to refund me and demanded I leave. Once I left, my bank informed me that he took 2 more unauthorized charges. LISTEN!! PLEASE DO NOT FALL VICTIM AND TAKE HEED TO THIS WARNING. IF YOU READ THE CONTRACT IT IS A TRAP AND THEY DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING INTO CONSIDERATION. THE OWNER IS ALL ABOUT MONEY. I AM NOT THE ONLY PARENT THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS. THIS IS YOUR WARNING!! ——————————- Responding: While Pastor Ray’s response to my review included a lot of commentary, the core issue remains unaddressed: MY CARD IS BEING CHARGED FOR A CHILD THAT NEVER ATTENDED THE CAMP DESPITE NOTIFYING the organization TWO WEEKS prior to the start date that my child would not be participating. Pastor Ray stated he will continue to charge my card although I told him my children will not be attending his camp. Pastor Ray responded to my cancellation email with the camp’s start date, but never mentioned the need to sign a formal cancellation form. After reading this review response from Pastor Ray, you’d think he did the right thing and really tried to make things right. The truth is I continue to be charged for children that do not attend his camp. (I did not take the week by week summer package because it cost $177 per week which is very expensive.) Despite my early notice, my card was charged $147 on four separate occasions, totaling $588, plus an additional $248 in other charges. All these charges were pulled before the camp even began. Pastor Ray stated he has refunded me for $266 but I have yet to receive this. IF I RECEIVE THIS REFUND IT IS ONLY FOR THE UNIFORMS BECAUSE I NEVER PICKED THEM UP AND ALSO THE OVERCHARGE THAT HE CHARGED ON MY CARD. But he is keeping all the summer camp payments for 2 children that do not attend his camp. THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE. I informed pastor Ray of my current situation and tried my best to work with him but he refused to refund me although he took these payments from my account knowing my child would never attend his facility. Pastor Ray says he has been compassionate but this entire situation does not show any compassion what so ever. Intentionally charging someone and not letting them know they have “correctly” cancelled their application is manipulation. I strongly recommend reading the contract carefully so you can avoid getting scammed. PLEASE BEWARE AND BE CAREFUL. I WOULD HATE FOR ANOTHER FAMILY TO FALL VICTIM TO THIS. PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU SIGN, YOU'LL THANK ME LATER.
