Up a Creek - Madison

"AMAZING place for a birthday. Set up and clean up is so streamlined and easy. Stuff kids walking-10 would really love but even older kids would have a lot of fun. Easy booking and great communication. The staff we had help us were SO nice and so so helpful and incredibly patient with our big party. They offered to help with everything and had a smile the whole time. This is literally the only place we will have birthday parties for now on. Absolutely loved our experience!"

"I have been so impressed with the staff and facilities at Up A Creek. We moved here 5 years ago, and my kids have been to several daycares, after school programs, summer camps, and day camps and none of them have been equal to our experience with Up A Creek in Madison. My kids have a blast every day, and have made so many friends here. We previously used Up A Creek for drop-ins and on days school let out early. This past summer we enrolled our kids for a week at either end of the break because their other summer camp was closed those weeks. My kids had so much fun we decided to enroll them for after school care. They come home telling me about all the fun things they did, the places they went, the friends they made, and most importantly how much the adults engage and interact with them. Our previous after school care had very little engagement, and seemed to just be a low-key job for some young adults. My kids are also being rewarded for good behavior, and disciplined for not following rules. The staff make us aware of both. Ms Jennifer at the front desk is always a pleasure to speak with. She makes sure every parent is up to date on what's going on with their kids. She really has her eye on the kids, and I get the feeling very little happens that she is not aware of. The other adults are all great as well, and everyone there is friendly. I could go on and on about all the great things going on at Up A Creek, but really it comes down to the facts that I feel like my kids are treated well, watched over, and they are safe. I feel well informed about what's going on with my kids, and the location, hours, and after school transportation are convenient. It's also a huge plus that the staff is friendly, and they treat my family like we're valued."

"Highly recommend Up a Creek Madison for birthday parties! The two hosts were so kind and helpful and helped clean up/set up. The only downside was the 15 minute set up time. Kids had a blast!"

"Up A Creek is the best option in Madison for After-School, Summer, and birthday parties. When the kids say pick us up as late as possible, you know they are having a blast. We are so thankful for the staff, facility and all of the activities they get to do during the full day camps offered during school breaks. We will be using UAC for years to come."

"My six-year-old son just completed a week of summer camp at a Up a Creek. He had a fantastic experience there! The staff genuinely cares and connects with the kids really well. It was the first time my son was in an environment outside his normal pre-school center and Jennifer quickly put him at ease. She is a natural at creating a kids-friendly atmosphere. In addition, the environment is safe and well kept. My son had so much to say about what he did each day. He loved the level of activity and variety of places they visited. There was also a good balance between indoors and outdoors as well as wet and dry fun! I highly recommend Up a Creek to anyone looking for a fun safe place for the kiddos. Side note: I appreciate the fact they reapply sunscreen on the kids later on in the day."
