"My daughter had the best time for summer at this camp. They were mostly outside doing games and activities. They had a water park visit at least once a week that she really enjoyed as part of their visit and a season pass to stone mtn park for visiting after(which sadly, we didn’t ever get use). At times they gave them some tv time and I think they had a movie day too where they would show one on like a projector or something for them all. Really good experience for her with a bunch of mixed ages but they got separated out in smaller groups by age once class started. Would def do again."
