Powered by GoogleMy kids have been going here for years and they love it ! The staff is amazing!
My son has been to almost every camp offered and attends before and after school care. I’ve felt safe with him here since day one. He has a blast and begs me to let him stay later during the week and has even asked for a Christmas gift to be him attending one of the camps. All of the staff are wonderful. He enjoys learning about Jesus as they make it fun for him also. Not to mention having homework help in the evenings is always a big help!
Best after school program. My son enjoys going and the staff are all friendly and very kind.
I love Open Arms . Mrs. Laurie and everyone are truly a blessing. My daughter loves it .
I personally would never allow my child to child to attend this camp again. I have heard of the horrors that happen inside this summer camp. The low nutrition meals because of lack of funds for the first few weeks of camp. Bullying and humiliation of the campers. Counselors targeted specifically because of their race and known racist working at the camp. Calling the police on the homeless. And treating counselors as if they are disposable. As well as strange disciplinary actions. Also overlooking children’s health at times. Will not be sending my child back.
