KIDS CO-OP Gymnastics - Tumble - Camps

Good Afternoon, I am reaching out to warn the public to protect their children from discrimination at KIDS CO-OP Gymnastics - Tumble - Camps at 3320 Fox Hill Rd, Easton, PA 18045. My child attended this camp for the last three weeks of June, for what I feel like was only for the company to benefit from her tuition. There were a series of events that cannot be ignored or unheard. My child almost did not begin at the camp when I warned the Director of her behavioral health services and medications. I was told my child could come the first day but if she didn’t behave that my weeks tuition wouldn’t be refunded. That was until I made it clear that I felt I was going to be taken advantage of. I was then assured to pay just one days rate and we would go from there. There were fees, waivers , and camp forms to submit which were all turned in at drop off the first day. I also included  FULL ORIGINAL COPIES of the child’s 504 and IEP plans. A few days later the next week I was sent an email about responding to a field trip that was for the following week. It said to respond in 24 hours and like human beings do, I unfortunately overlooked it. After that my only other reminder of the trip was from none other than the support staff. That day I picked my child up and asked how I can make sure my child had the right forms in I was told by the director. “It’s too late , the bus form was due at registration and the bus is full” . I then pushed as far as asking if I could follow behind the bus and come along on the trip and I was given a sly “I’m just not doing that” and that was it. I felt like a failure to my child and I convinced myself that It was my error. However Like I explained, I TURNED IN ALL REQUIRED FORMS AT DROP OFF THE FIRST DAY. At most I missed the emailed response however I had given permission for my child to attend field trips and ride the bus even though I was being told otherwise . I discussed the situation with my mother that night and she was just as enraged. She called the camp the next day , spoke with the woman and she claimed she owed me an apology (that I never received). She explained my child would allowed on the trip but that I did have to drive due to NO ROOM ON THE BUS. The day of the trip we waited with the camp for the bus to arrive for about 30 mins . While waiting I noticed several children having meltdowns and requiring one on one attention just as I was told my child was ineligible  for. I also noticed the director that almost refused all of this from happening had a “family emergency” and left before the bus arrived. I was flabbergasted , enraged , and sorry for my child when I seen a huge bus with only half the amount of passengers it could fit attending the trip. At this point I asked “so this is the bus there’s no room on seriously ? “ I was given a shrug and very quick pass off with the words “I’m sorry I don’t handle permission slips”. The whole time I was told I didn’t follow the proper procedures and that there was no room for my child and both were lies. We were blatantly discriminated against and I would like a public response From The director of the camp. I drove 45 mins to a field trip that no other parents were on ! MY CHILd MISSED THE BUS EXPERIENCE !  I NEED A REASON ! I could only post part of my story however you can read the rest onthe BBB'S website

I went to kids co op from ages 6-11. I went on to become a member of one of their competition teams. There I was not able to pick up the material as fast as the other girls bc I was so new. I was then made fun of by my coach and the eldest member of the team. I am prone to over heating and almost passing out. One day I was sitting down during summer practice bc I was about to pass out my coach made no regard to check on me while my vision was black. The only reason I am giving this place 2 stars Is because before I was part of the competition team I was having regular practices with coach nick who specializes in tumbling. He didn’t put you down instead he worked with you on your skills and talked u through it however long it took. If you do choose to go here I would recommend his class ( I haven’t been back in 4 years so idk if he still works there ). Thank you for your time in reading this reviews.

This is the most awful place. If I could give 0 stars I would. My daughter participated in a gymnastics competition and only one spectator was allowed, I had to bring my toddler Bc I had no one to watch him. They would not allow me in and the owner came out screaming and pointing her finger in my face as I stood there crying. There was a Volunteer parent from the gym also crying Bc of how the gym owner was treating myself and others. I can not believe anyone would support a place like this. I would never recommend this gym there are plenty more out there who try people with respect! Update: the gyms response is that they do not have a competitive team and they do not host meets, however that is a lie. If you go to the website you can clearly click on competition team! Shame on you! Take responsibility for your actions!

My son has attended Kid Co-Op for the past three years in both their preschool program and summer camp. The preschool program prepared him both socially and academically to succeed in Kindergarten. He especially enjoyed getting his energy out in the gymnastics portion of the day which was built right into the preschool program. He also loved their camp this past summer which included trips to the pool, water activities, crafts, great coaches and of course gymnastics. He can’t wait for camp over the holidays!

My older son takes Parkour classes here. They are run through an independent organization-extremely professional and wonderful with the children. I had a hard time getting ahold of them at first, but went in person and got an email within a few hours! My younger son desperately wanted to join in the fun-so we signed him up for gymnastics. I am very impressed with the level of understanding and ability to coach young children. I am a former competitive gymnast and taught classes for 10 years. Also, my youngest has autism so I feared this might be challenging for him to be in a group and follow directions. Coach Elijah has impressed me with his ability to coach these young boys!
