My 13 yo son just finished 2 weeks of working as a CIT at GrowFit and I can't emphasize what a great experience it was for him. As his "first job" he came home every day feeling so excited and proud of the work he did each day. Eric, who runs the camp, set a great example and made my son feel comfortable and excited to come to work every day. He'll be back next year!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Josh. Eric will be so happy to hear this! We love our CITs and we are really glad it was a good experience for your son! See you next summer.

This is our third year with this incredible program, and we continue coming back for a positive experience and the impact it has on our children's personal growth. The program is wonderfully flexible and accommodating for busy families, while the daily setup is high-activity and keeps the kids thoroughly engaged. It provides a fantastic environment for team learning, excellent collaborative skill exposure, and meaningful leadership-building opportunities. Seeing our children develop their confidence, teamwork, and respect for others year after year speaks volumes about the quality of the coaches. We highly recommend this program to any parent looking for an enriching physical and energetic experience!
Response from the owner:Thanks, Bryant! Three years with us means a lot, and we're so glad you've seen your kids grow in confidence and teamwork along the way. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this!

My son has attended the Science Camp, Inventors Camp, and Art Camp, and he has absolutely loved every one of them! It’s the perfect combination of keeping their minds engaged and learning new things while still getting plenty of time to play all kinds of sports afterward. It’s been a fantastic balance, and we highly recommend it!
Response from the owner:Thanks, Oksana! This makes our day! So glad your son loved Science, Inventors, and Art camp, and that the mix of learning and sports worked so well for him. Really appreciate the recommendation!

We have done the CIT program at GrowFit for the past 3 years (Summers, Spring Break and Winter Break) -- the coaches are great, lots of activities for campers to enjoy and my daughter loves being a CIT. The program is flexible, she's ready to officially join their team as a Counselor/Coach next summer!

Eric is the lead in Walnut Creek - he is always excited for camp. And he cares about his team and the camp families. I love how he greets my family when we drop off and pick up - genuinely happy we are there. He and the team always responds to emails quickly and are ready to help.

We appreciate the program, fun activities and friendly team!
Response from the owner:Thank you Nina for sharing your CIT experience. We are very lucky to have Eric on the team and we would be happy to have your CIT join us on the team next summer! This will make Eric's day as he pours all of his energy into the camp experience. We are glad you can feel it 🙂

My son had so much fun this summer. This was his first summer camp ever and I knew when I picked him up at the end of the first day, he was enjoying himself for the next two weeks. Heard nothing but great things from him and how he enjoyed everything about it, including his new friends and staff.
Response from the owner:This is so great to hear! It makes us so happy to know that your first camp experience was welcoming and fun! Our team will love to know this! Thank you for sharing 🙂

My five-year-old daughter attended GrowFit Camp for the entire summer and had an amazing time! I was initially worried she’d get bored after the first week, but every week was filled with fun, variety, and excitement — from new sports to crafts and games. She looked forward to going to camp every day.

Coach Ally, who led the 4–5-year-old group, was fantastic, and Coach Lay, who assisted, was also great—both made my daughter feel supported and happy every day. The counselors were warm, encouraging, and truly cared about the kids.

We couldn’t have asked for a better summer experience. We’ll definitely be back next year!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled your daughter had such a fun and exciting summer with us. Coach Ally, Coach Lay, and the whole team loved having her in camp and are so glad she felt supported and happy every day. We can’t wait to see you both again next year!

The camp and counselors were fantastic !
These guys kept the kids busy throughout the day with different levels of activities for every ability. My child came home exhausted and talking non stop about what they did that day and how he felt more excited for what the next day would bring.
I felt like the team really spent time with each child personally and you could tell the children were very comfortable asking for help and support from everyone there.
I would strongly encourage any parent to discover why this camp and these team members go above and beyond in this program!
Response from the owner:We love hearing that your child came home exhausted, excited, and full of great stories! Thanks so much for noticing our team's dedication—we are really lucky to have them. Can't wait to welcome you back for more fun and adventures soon!
My 2 kids (5y & 7y) love the camp. Have fun. Enjoys playing outside… the different activities and every morning at drop off they hug their “teacher” (as my 5y says). Really happy having them there!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words, Luz!
Our team will love to know your thoughts 🙂

I am so glad we found this camp! My son had a great experience playing lots of different sports and other fun activities. He especially loved the big blow up “bubbles” they could run around in. He was so sore after the first day, but also learned the importance of warming up and stretching from that experience. He really enjoyed his counselors and they always seemed welcoming and caring at drop off and pick up. I also appreciated the daily pictures they sent to see the activities each day. We were especially grateful the camp was offered so late into the summer, since my son’s school started a week after most of the local schools. We definitely plan to return next year!
Response from the owner:Thank you Natalie for your feedback! We appreciate it! Please note that Fall/Winter School break camps are now open for registrations, we would love to see your family return for fun this Fall!

The indoor facility is so new and nice! My kids felt comfortable after 2 days here. They do a variety of sports and non-sport activities lead by coaches with great enthusiasm and genuinely look out for everyone. The space is large enough to accommodate the energy of the kids and I'm so glad that they're not outdoors in the sun!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind review Denise!
My son had a fantastic time and will return in the future. The camp sent pictures daily which I thought was a nice touch. Great fun s add nd active camp thank you camp leaders!
