A friend of mine recommended Way to Play summer camp about 2 years ago. My very active sports & outdoor loving son has attended ever since. I can’t say enough about how well this camp is run - they prioritize safety, communication, and fun! My son enjoys it every year (we have even done the school break camps from time to time) and I highly recommend them. *son age 6/rising 1st grader

I 100% recommend Way2Play. Coach Homansky does a great job with picking staff. It is hard to name stand outs because almost everyone was over the top sweet to my child and me. You will not regret choosing Way2Play!

Way2Play is the ONLY camp my sons want to attend each summer. They get upset if I drop them off too late or pick up to early! Eric and his coaches do a phenomenal job engaging the kids and help them make good choices while in their care. We love Way2Play!
