Best Children's Summer Camps Raleigh Near Me

Mika Scarlett: Camps are not as described and they have poor customer service.I signed my 6th grader up for a camp that was advertised as 4th through 7th grade. When he arrived at camp, my son was paired with rising 2nd and 3rd graders. The camp was also labeled as a level 2 robotics camp. However, it was a very basic intro class. The first hour of class was spent filling out questionnaires - not doing any building or programming. My son was so uncomfortable he did not want to return. At the end of class I explained our concerns and asked to speak with a director/owner. I was told the director did not give out her email, phone number or name to customers.(Huge red flag!!) They refused to refund the money for the remaining days of camp even though the camp was not at all as described. It was their mistake, but they refused to rectify it.

Adrienne Lee: Affordable prices and dependable

Josh Darville: This camp is AMAZING! The things you're not told up front is that the kids can come home with what they made that week, and for example the learn to code through Minecraft kids ALL receive a Raspberry Pi already loaded with Minecraft, that's like a $50 value, AND lunch is included. WOW! What a great program, plus they hang out in a safe environment with other kids who are smart looking to learn all kinds of science. Material, Mechanical, Programming, theory, periodic charts, gravity, etc. etc. etc.

Kris Bottiglier: I don’t know what these people are talking about we have always had a great experience at this facility. The staff is always so sweet and helpful and caring for my kiddos. Feel safe here also!

Vickie Koch: I cannot say enough positive things about this incredible camp! My grandson had the very best time this year and it is largely due to the awesome counselors he had! Gabe and Daniel were wonderful!

Breuna Chavies: I utilized the Wild at Art Kids Studio for my daughter’s 7th birthday party. At first, the communication between the manager, Cyndi, and I was great! She informed me that there would be a $50 deposit that would go towards the overall price and the remaining balance would be paid the day of the event. She also informed me that the artist would arrive at 1:30 because the children would begin painting at 2, this will allow the artist enough time to set up and be available for the kids promptly at 2. The first issue my husband and I had was that the artist was LATE! She did not show up to my house until 2:06 and she was supposed to be at my house at 1:30! Secondly, the artist was NOT interactive with the kids at all. A few parents complained to me stating that all the artist did was pass out the paint brushes and paint and that’s it! Granted, I know it’s COVID season so I understand the social distancing, but she still could’ve been more interactive with the children by speaking with them, even if it was from a distance. Cyndi also informed me that along with the paint, the children would have extra crafts like glitter, feathers etc to put on their mermaids, the artist didn’t have any of that. I honestly feel like I wasted my money because the artist simply did what I could’ve done. There was no “wow” factor. Lastly, the artist charged $150 because she said only 15 canvases were used and it was $10 a piece. My husband paid the artist $160 because we did not have change, not realizing that she OVERCHARGED him because I already paid the studio a $50 deposit which was included in the overall price. So in total, my husband and I spent $210 dollars for subpar service that I could’ve done myself. I’ve been trying to contact Cyndi- the manager, for the past 2 days to discuss my frustrations and she will not return my phone calls or text messages. Hopefully we will come to a resolution, but until then, this poor review will suffice.
