My son attended Summer Camp with a group of friends. He loved it! He came home every day with new stories and info he had learned. Great activities for all ages.

Awesome family fun. My 2 children have went to the camp and also was there on a field trip. Very reasonably priced and lots of things to do. Highly recommend anyone going there with their kids. Melissa and Mark are awesome and my kids loved them.

We had my daughters 11th B-day party there and EVERYONE, including the parents had a great time! It was well worth the money and my daughter has already said she wants to do the camp and have her party there next year. They are wonderful people and they made my daughters day special!! I will recommend them to everyone!

We saw a sign for Purdy's petting zoo and thought it would be nice for the kids to get out and stretch their legs and pet some animals. When we pulled into Purdy's there was only an hour before...
