Silver Stars camp in Silver Spring - feedback

[Anonymous]

Any feedback on Silver Stars camp? Particularly, are the staff adults or mostly kids? Is there a good staff-student ratio? Do you think it would be suitable for a 4 year old girl who is a little fearful of gym-type equipment (but says she'd like to go!)?

TIA

I have talked to a few moms whose kids loved it. The only thing that sounds funny to me is that they regularly feed them popsicles as a snack. OK, they are fun to eat, but given we're talking about a sort of physical fitness activity, one would think they would be a little more health conscious.

Anyone been there this summer yet? Also interested in the level of supervision for a 3.5 year old?

My 7 year old spent a week there this summer and LOVED it. I don't know about the younger classes, but overall they were super organized at drop-off and pick-up, and there was a lot of supervision. I didn't mind the popsicles - it's summer and we certainly had ice cream from the ice cream truck every day in the summer when we were kids!

My son loves this camp but its the snacks that disappoint me. Everyday they get Utz Cheeseballs and lemonade. Certainly nothing very nutritious.

We are doing the open gym and were disappointed by one lady's attitude (she yelled "Madam, have you paid?" as I was waiting my turn at the front desk). The other lady is very gracious.
