We had The Recreation Academy host my son's 8th birthday party and it was AMAZING! The staff kept all 15 kids engaged the entire time. I actually got to relax and enjoy the party instead of running around stressed. Best decision ever!

They helped our Cub Scout troop earn their archery and outdoor games badges. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and made it fun for every single scout. We've already booked them for next year!

We hired The Recreation Academy to help our 7th and 8th grade classes celebrate the end of the school year. The kids had an absolute blast with the RC racing and sports games. Professional, organized, and so much fun!
