Powered by GoogleJust on optics alone, this place looks condemned. I went to register my kid for day camp and we are new to the area. This facility was in the news to have received a sizable donation for upgrades a few years ago, but this place still looks condemned. Clearly the improvements have not taken place yet and I am concerned that the facility is adequate for day camp programs. The main office even has structural issues. I don’t know how the staff can stand to work on those conditions.
Unable to get anyone on the phone and when you do they hung up on you and let the phone ring. If you go to the center no one ever there. It looks abandon. If they can't respond to messages or answer phone calls please refund for your program offered. I would not recommend anyone to this abandon, unprofessional and disrespectful place. Send your kid elsewhere to play sports.
Basketball for the different teams from different high schools come here to play. Unfortunately, the parents are not interested in playing a significant part with their child during their time, showing how great they are at trying to be successful in this sport of playing basketball. More parents need to show up to support their children.
I luv this place! This is the place that holds so many of my childhood memories! Just praying for upgrades on the building as well as recreational programs and services🙏🏾❤️
My kids love this summer camp! They beg me to go every summer. The staff is pretty good with kids..they're old school though so if you find everything people say offensive them don't send your kids. They don't tolerate kids acting however they want etc. My kids are wore out when they come home, they swim 3x a week, field trips 1-2 times a week and good old fashion outside play and games. Great place!
