Honestly, the program has changed drastically since a switch in management and not in a good way. The counselors are not engaged whatsoever, I’ve noticed a lack of interest in their jobs over the last few years. It seems like the turn around for rec leaders is constant and there’s never a set staff. I’ve noticed when picking up at the schools the rec leaders are on their phones constantly! while waiting around for the kids. It just feels like the program has suffered over the past couple years and sadly, It’s not longer the camp med I remember when ran under other leadership. I think the city should re-evaluate this entire program and give it a revamp. I can’t image the enrollment numbers being great, especially now . It’s so unfortunate because the summer and after school programs were great, but unfortunately it’s no longer the case.

This after school program was the best! My kid can’t speak English very well, and first time when he came to this after school program, Che make a lot friends, and the staff were VERY nice to him, and he gets snacks every time when he come. Also, they teaches him a lot good manners, when he didn’t say please, they will let him repeat it 3 times, and he improved better language and a lot stuff! Plus if he finished all his homework, he can play the toys so that he has something to do, and some activities. The third thing is that he loved this after school program, one time when I pick him up, he still wants to play at there for a while, he don’t want to go home.

The staff for the Spring Break Camp Med were rude and disrespectful towards the children ordering them around - "Go outside! Sit down! I don't want to hear what you have to say!" using repeated time outs as the sole method of controlling behavior. They could all use some real counselor training benefiting their ability to handle the children, the quality of care, and the overall happiness and experience of the children.

The staff here is AMAZING. I can't believe they don't get paid more! The kids are always doing something structured, and they are always busy. Sometimes my boy doesn't want to leave when I come to pick him up.
