St. Andrew's Parks & Playground — Attraction in Charleston

This was the most unsafe place I have ever taken my children for camp/care. We did two different camps here over the summer with my two daughters. The camps were unorganized and entire program was chaos. Children running everywhere. Counselors were not keeping an eye on children. Drop off and pick-up were a complete mess. At one point, one of my children was missing from the group, hundreds of kids running around, counselors walking in and out of the picture and not one person knew where my child was. I was discouraged after the first camp of the season but figured it must have been because it was their first week in session. When we returned at the end of the summer for our second camp, I saw no improvement. Camp instructors would leave large groups of kids alone until they were picked up by parents.

My four year old got nervous after I left one morning and walked straight out of the building and came running to me at the car in the parking lot. Not one person out of probably 20 counselors (all under the age of 25) even attempted to stop her. There was no one at the door to greet families as they arrived on Mondays, we all simply stood in a long line that stretched through the parking lot, with no direction or assurance that we were in the right place. After we checked kids in, they just said, "they can go sit on the bleachers until their name is called." At 4 and 7, this isn't an acceptable drop off for my kids. Especially when there are hundreds of kids running around willy-nilly. WE will never return. Couldn't be more...

I had a league tennis match at this venue. Four of the matches were done and one match was still going at 9:30pm. While the pro Phil Burke was waiting out the last match he pulled one of his guys over to the side and hit him some serves to work on one particular thing he could improve upon. I don’t see that at private clubs. Just found it to be super selfless and thoughtful and rare. It really impressed me. Wish there were more teaching pros out there like that guy. “Hey I saw something that would help you- let me hit some serves to...
