Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego - 4S Ranch Branch

"I can’t say enough about this club and their leadership under TJ. I was looking for the perfect kids camp for my son and they made the process super simple and easy to get see started. TJ answered all my questions and made sure that all my child’s needs were met and that he felt right at home it’s good to see people who actually care and are looking to make a difference in kids lives! Highly recommend!"

"This was the worst place I ever went to as a kid. One time they made me sit in a chair for 4 hours straight with no water, food, or bathroom usage. Mellisa/Melissa, the manager idk if she still works here hopefully not she's a horrible human being did the same things to multiple different children and one of the kids were crying so much to the point where she let him go. Another time Melissa said everyone was gonna have a fun day. It was not a fun day. The staff took all the kids in every grade outside and they made us play a random sport. Some kids were falling in mud, getting dirty, and some others got sick and lots of kids were crying. This is not a good place for children it will ruin their childhood and give them trauma. When it was my last day here i was crying tears of joy and relief that i didn't have to go here anymore. Please don't bring your'e kids here."

"I have SO much to say about this place. For one, the planning is very poor. There was one bus on the field trip, and there wasn't enough room so a lot of the kids had to stay behind, and everyone who came there after 8:00 AM were sent to the office, and couldn't participate on the field trip. Secondly, the some of the staff do a poor job. We were handed free advertisement cards from the people and we were told we could take as many as we wanted. But apparently not to the staff. He told us to hand all of them back. I did. But then my friend had had some in her bag, and put them in my hand, the staff came over and told me to hand them over. I did, but he didn't trust us. He threatened to search my other friend's bag, and made her take her stuff out. I wouldn't recommend putting your kid here, but the field trips can be really fun, it just had poor planning and staff members."

"Good afternoon school programs/athletics for kids. Not really loads of oversight, didn't notice if my kid didn't make the bus from school to the B&G club, wow. Kids have lots of activities, but some smaller kids might get a bit over in by older kids playing rough in basketball etc. Keep an eye on things, check in. Didn't always push the. To do the homework in the hour they plan for that, pretty lax. Still they burn alot of energy off! Parking/pickup not great/crowded."
