★★★★★Jessica GreenwayOur son spent a week at Tate’s summer camp last year, and he had the most wonderful time! I love that the kids are outside playing as soon as you arrive. He was absolutely exhausted at the end of each day (which told me he had a great time). He has already asked to go back next summer, so we took advantage of the early registration discount and will send him as many weeks as we can afford next year. Can’t say enough good things about this camp!
★★★★★Margo KrogulskiOur girls have spent the last 3 summers at Tates… they love it there & we trust the care they are getting! We love that their days are spent mostly outside, with no electronics! They have such a great swim program with the younger children that really teaches them how to swim confidently & water safety! The home-made lunches are fantastic as well. The counselors really care about the kids & play and interact with them so well! We will continue to send our girl to Tates as long as they want to go!
★★★★★Casey PiferOur 1st grader had a blast at Tate’s day camp this summer ! Swimming twice a day, fishing, arts and crafts, a huge hillside slide - she came home sweaty, tired and happy every day. Also, the staff (counselors, swim instructors) are so friendly and really got to know our child. We will definitely be back next year.
★★★★★Caitlin TorneyWe had a great time as a family at Family Fun Night! It was super fun to be able to see all the amazing activities our kids do at Tates and I really enjoyed getting to meet the staff. We did the zip line, ropes climb, swam in the pool, and ate smores while fishing in the pond. You can tell that the staff love their jobs and really enjoy working with the kids.
★★★★★Morgan CrutchfieldMy son went to Tate's five summers in a row and I can't say enough about how he loved it. From the excellent, attentive staff to the unreal number of activities to the other kids who attend, this camp creates a family. It's well worth the expense. I'd recommend multiple weeks if you can swing it so that friends can be made and traditions formed.
