★★★★★Jennifer TarantinoHidden gem in St Louis Park! This beautiful Community Center features an amazing Health and Wellness Fitness Center with outstanding ammenities. There are both indoor and outdoor pools too- and sauna, steam and whirlpool in the locker rooms. If you are looking for a great place to workout- check it out!
★★L WEnrolled my 5.5-year-old upon recommendation of friends. Crafts limited to the same simple rock painting each day. My daughter said she changed into her swimsuit in front of boys--was not able to confirm since no apparent camp director on site at drop off in the morning to ask questions and camp director failed to respond to emails, even about Covid after 24 campers/counselors tested positive. Price is 50% higher than other high rated camps too. While the teen counselors seemed nice, I didn’t bother sending my kid back to prepaid sessions.
★★★★Larry LangeCamp Olami is obviously closed this time of year due to 3 feet of snow but during the summer, this is a great place for kids. Crafts, exercises and knowledgeable staffers make it a daytime destination. The entire facility is geared towards kids of all ages.
★★★★★Lev BakuninJCC has been a very friendly place with a wide range of activites.
★★★★★Paul BurnsteinAt the time, my 5 year old had a great first time at camp. From the counselors to the activities, all around, it was a great camp.
