What parents say
"For San Ramon - Not a camp for little kids; my kid hit his head, had scratches on his nose, kids pushed him all around and most importantly he got scared of other children; complete mis management. We are super bummed with this camp. We went there because my daughter who was little older had a good time and I was assured by the owner that it's safe for little kids as well but I'm so bummed and will not recommend this camp for little kids."
