[QUOTE="ksm, post: 532461, member: 12511"] I think they are as good as the people who runs it. In our community, it is very popular and has been here for quite some time. The prices here are even more reasonable than that. During the summer, there are several "trips" each week, mostly to the swimming pool. The policy at this one, is that kids can come and go as they please. They will not restrain a child from leaving. So if they are younger children, they need to be responsible to stay at the program if that is what you need them to do. A friend had her grandson in Boys and Girls Club and he went on a swimming afternoon - and got a very bad sunburn. Even though there were a couple adults with the group, they don't "baby sit" them and tell them to keep sun screen on. You need to make sure your child knows what to do while at the outings. Maybe other clubs in other cities, do it differently. You need to check and see how much supervision the children are given. In our town, they have the kids divided up in to about 3 age groups, from young to old, then they switch activities and rooms so that the little ones are not in with the older kids. They might all be in the same area for a movie or snacks, or lunch. I believe the site serves a lunch - and that underpriviledge children can go there for a meal... at least in our community. I think it is the "big brother/big sister" program that matches children up with adults... We have that in our community also. KSM [/QUOTE]
