One parent notes that a 4-year-old camper was happy at drop-off and pick-up for a second summer, that several counselors remembered the child from the previous year, and that the child experienced a day “packed with good times” including splash days, rock walls, puppet shows, bounce houses, foam play, reptile meet and greets, face paint, arts, and crafts. Another testimonial highlights that kids play all day without TV, sleep well at night, and that Kidventure is described as a safe place for kids to express themselves, make new friends, push their imaginations, and have an active and fun summer adventure away from phones and technology.
