this place is fine but the counselor derious is such a bad counselor. he picks favorites and it so unfair. he creates new rules when he has already stated his rules. PLEASE FIRE HIM. i can’t stress this enough. he yells at the campers. he is always grumpy and never listens to anything you say. he is always gone and disappearing when you need him. he body shames and gives privileges to those who are smaller or skinnier. and he wouldn’t give snow cones to the children who earned them. also they lied about a medical emergency when forgetting to add the fact that the kid was cut with a KNIFE and FAINTED. i feel like that is an important detail.

I hadn’t even realized how cool neighborhood recreation centers are until my daughter started attending the free Totally Cool Totally Art classes twice a week. Wonderful classes. They even get to learn the art of cooking Dow a few of the classes. The center is convenient to the surrounding neighborhoods so it’s a 15 minute walk or a 5 minute bike from our home. My daughter does art with wonderful teachers, meets young artists from all over Austin and shows her art at the Daughtery Arts Center and the Mixtec a few times a year. We are enjoying the work she creates there, the other kids stuff is mind bending too. Some of them are friends now. This is only one terrific program. The summer camp was unbelievable. My kid loved it. There are basketball teams, yoga, rock climbing, free movies, martial arts and tiny kids classes too. There’s usually some events going on to bring the family to. Everyone who has access to this place is lucky. We are.

Nice facility in an easy to get to location. Was there for a club meeting not exercise. The room we were in was nice. Men's room was a bit strange with only one stall but had two showers. Had a line of people all waiting for that one toilet.

Great rec center for camp! Wonderful staff & counselors. 2/week pool trips and 1/field trips. Lots of activities and my 7 year old made great friends.
