A good gym for kids activities. Dated and very loud, but clean and comfortable.

My kids come here for summer camp and its pretty great.My oldest goes to B&G after school somewhere else but Al Davies for summer and his little brother goes with him now. Theyre good about transferring information over for the free lunch program (which reduces the fee by a chunk) but the best part is the lower fee for siblings. That saved a lot.Front desk staff are very helpful and seem to remember nearly every kids names after a week or so. The staff walking around with the kids also seem great and several of them genuinely seem happy to work with kids - encouraging them and praising them for their good work. Both of mine have come home with little reward messages for being great kids and its awesome that children are recognized for being nice.Theres a computer lab right inside the entrance with laptops for them to use and then a huge play area with what looks like foosball and other games.The kids can be unruly sometimes but, thats kids and it seems like theyre really on top of managing difficult kids. They have a list of things they dont allow and a strike system for kids that really misbehave. Unfortunately, sometimes the good kids are punished with the bad if the whole group is being too loud and not listening but, again, I cant knock them for that.Outside is a large field for play time and activities.Speaking of activities, they usually have a big activity a week that you can sign your kids up for. Like going to a swimming pool or a movie or the zoo or something like that. Limited spaces but youre given a list ahead of time.Theyve also had a local highschool come over and do cool projects like building robots with Lego Mindstorms. So theres a good mix of physical and mental stuff going on.

I cant thank Al Davies enough!As an adult,Coach an past player .I continually reflect back on valuable lessons on an off the court developed there.Vital social skills in an atmosphere that promotes individual growth thru sports an activities.Truly a safe haven for me as a youth.Inside those walls represented a place that no matter what the streets had to offer Al Davies gave us all much more.Thank you Al Davies.

The Staff are really annoying and choose boring activities for the kids, I want to have fun doing what I love and the boys and girls club is not supporting that but much respect for them

This place may not be the most pleasing visually, however you cant beat the price for after school and summer programs. Tons of activities and the staff really care.
