Way To Go is one of the most fun and immersive environments that my children and I have experienced. Here's some of my opinions about it:
Pros:
-They have a full Summer session (from June to August) and a short Winter session as well (two weeks).
-The staff are very very kind, and they all love working with children. Each member looks out for everyone's needs and makes sure no one is left out.
-Way To Go goes on so many exciting field trips. You can expect them to have a field trip planned for 2 days of the week or more on a regular weekly schedule, with activities like going to the library and swimming at the pool being once-a-week activities. They go to places ranging from amusement parks (like Great America or Six Flags) or to more educational places (such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium or Deer Hollow Farm). Some great places they have went to include: Twin Lakes, Raging Waters, San Francisco, the movie theater, Disney Museum, and many more. During the winter session, they go ice skating and many other places.
-Staff members teach fitness, games, arts and crafts, cooking and many other activities if it is not a field trip day.
-For a nominal fee, they allow you to keep the memories that your kids made at Way To Go by creating their own scrapbook. The kids can design and create their own picture album and fill it with photos that staff members have taken of your child.
-Transportation is absolutely safe. Way To Go does not have a common mode of transportation such as bus, but staff members, and some generous parents volunteer to drive the campers. All the drivers are qualified and safe on the road.
-They accept 4Cs for those who need financial help.
Cons:
-You don't want to go back to school after the session ends (I guess that isn't really a con though)
