SUPER SCIENCE CAMP -THANKSGIVING POINT
June 4-7, 2018
The first day our 4 year old said, "I was LOST" She was LEFT by the staff you entrust your young child, in the basement of the museum alone crying. A mom with other children grabbed her and took her up to the main floor. She searched and found her group leaders. Yes, they LEFT a 4 year old in a public place; where a not so nice person could have grabbed her. They are not in a enclosed area/room teaching science it appears.The next day I told the lady under the tent what had happened to a 4 year old, she had no idea, no one had told her. But she laughed and thought that "was cute" what a 4 year old said. CUTE?!?! And that she would ask what took place with the staff. She later came over to my car and said that the staff realized she was missing when they did a head count UPSTAIRS. No head count was done before leaving the basement floor of the museum!!!! Her attitude was, it was no big deal, it was like a lady brought her up to the staff on the main floor. And she said, Oh by the way, a child kicked her in her face today and she had a bloody nose. This is all unacceptable.

FYI-This camp is quiet pricey for four days - $125.00. She brought home a toilet tissue roll bug, day one and a coffee filter butterfly day two. Nothing day 3. I do not expect crafts at a science camp, but if you are going to make crafts, and they have. Maybe you should order something nice related to science camp. We all make things out of toilet tissue rolls when they are two years old. This is a science camp and a pricey one. No shirts are provided to distinguish your child at camp, from the hundreds in the museum for the day. That would help so much.

My qualifications are I have attended both program and administration National Camp School. I have certificates from National Camp School. I have ran day camps from 200 children in Georgia, to 500 children in California. I have ran Cub Scout Day Camps for 8 years, Girl Scout Day Camps for 2 years, and Girls Camp for 2 years. I have taught adults at National Camp School for 15 years, in program and administration.

This is so unorganized. with no pre thought what so ever at all. No papers coming home to ask your child what they did. Nothing. You have no idea.

Tomorrow is her last day. She is signed up for two more camps with Thanksgiving Point. Changes need to be made.

I am going in tomorrow to keep an eye on her, because the staff can't seem too. Thanksgiving Point we expect more from you.

Most everything in Thanksgiving point is over priced, especially the dinosaur museum, they do have some reals dinosaur bones, but most is plaster replicas. Still pretty cool, but definitely not worth admission

Ice cream is ice cream, but the shake was awful. You would think that since they serve hard packed ice cream that they would use hard packed ice cream in their shakes. Right? This is most definitely not the case. The shake was slimy and runny and had a very odd flavor. A waste of $4. Seriously disappointed in Thanksgiving Point right now. I expected better from you. Do yourself a favor and get your shakes elsewhere.

This place is awesome. But get a golf cart at the flowers thingy. It's worth the price. I used to have a membership. Wish I still did. But the price went up.

This place has activities for the whole family. Would highly recommend going to the butterfly botanical garden! Such a wonderful experience for me as an adult but amazing for my kids.

Great place with so much entertainment and things to discover. It takes our year long membership to experience everything. New events all the time.

Incredible! Museum, Imax, botanical gardens, food, farm experience, etc. Pricing is not very family friendly though.

We love Thanksgiving Point! It has TONS of activities and fun stuff for everyone to do. It truly makes education fun! We get the yearly family pass and we have enough activities to last all year long!

We did the dinosaur museum with our 2 young children. They had a blast. It was a great mixture of varied fossils and play areas. It was easily accessible with strollers.

Great place to go for a movie, a museum or a petting zoo. There is other stuff to do and see here too. Worth checking out for sure
