Parent Reviews
Our daughter has attended Summer Hill Camp for 6 years running and can’t wait until the school year’s over to get back. I am completely delighted with the education and socialization that she receives during her camp experiences. She’s made wonderful, lasting friendships with the other campers and really looks forward to every day. In a small camp like this, the staff makes or breaks the experience. This staff is unbelievable- in addition to being great leaders, truly show them kindness and love. There's great staff longevity too. We see the same smiling faces year after year. There are plenty of activities to keep the kids engaged all day long. The daily swim lessons are invaluable and surprisingly individual for a group setting. Nature, Art, Dance, indoor and outdoor games- she loves it all! Each Friday is a fun theme that she looks forward to. They bring in giant inflatable water slides, petting zoos, pony rides, carnivals and thousands and thousands of popsicles! Our girl can't wait to be old enough for the Explorers and OTM groups- the trips sound like so much fun! The drop-off and pick-up is seamless. They have a circular driveway and lots of people standing by to get your kids in and out of the car safely. There no typical 'goodbye drama' and the line moves super quickly. And the new "text ahead" system means your kid is standing there waiting for you when you pull up. Easy peasy. The facility itself is clean, organized and adorable. The little red schoolhouse is iconic. It's on a huge, beautiful piece of land with all kinds of fun activities, a nice lawn and meticulously maintained grounds. Two big pools, basketball courts, giant fields, wooded trails. The kids get plenty of opportunities to play and move in the fresh air with plenty of shaded structure and indoor room when the weather dictates. The playground equipment and buildings are modern and maintained. They're always updating and adding new features. We have never had any issues with illnesses so frequently spread among kids, lice or bug bites of any kind. I appreciate how thoroughly they clean and encourage frequent hand washing. They seem to take every precaution. The biggest indication for me that it's a great place is my daughter's unwillingness to leave at the end of the day. She begs daily to be in Aftercare!! Please don't hesitate to check out Summer Hill Camp. I can't recommend it highly enough.
If I could give this establishment 0 stars I would. The staff is full of teenagers who have no idea how to take care of small children. I sent my four year old to this camp and had an awful feeling day 1 it would not go well. The teenager who greeted him walked in front of him and didn't even look back to make sure he was there. On his first day they didn't feed him lunch because they were too lazy to help him unpack his thermos. He started having potty accidents after being potty trained for over a year and a half! After the second week and 4 potty accidents I told the owner something needed to change because he was not like that at his previous Montessori School. She "claimed" they had him on a schedule. The third week he had a poop accident where she called and said they had to kick him out as a result. Well when I asked my son what happened he cried and said he did ask someone to go to the bathroom but no one helped and didn't want to get yelled at for going in his pants, so he went in the sandbox. It's clear these teenagers don't have a clue what to do with 4year olds. He is in a new camp I'm the same town that is absolutely wonderful and after one week no accidents! He wakes up every day excited to go to camp and not crying and kicking like he did when he was at summer hill. Trust your gut moms. It's always right!
