to hang out with, they will also find tons of activities to keep them
busy, either on their own or supervised by one of the trained kid's
entertainment coordinators. The staff is trained to take good care of
children at all times. They even feature a kid's menu, which makes
dining a whole lot easier for parents. The coordinators plan events
such as scavenger hunts, dancing, arts and crafts, bread baking,
volleyball or soccer, foosball or ping pong. Kids love the game room
and the full-court gymnasium, and parents really enjoy being able to
spend a little more "adult time" together and focus on each other more
than they are normally able to.
