Dedham Parks and Recreation Summer Programs

To be honest I have been disappointed in the program.
They should just rename it to Dedham Summer Daycare, because the activities have been lacking.
I sent my kids there because it was a bit cheaper than the Y and the closest Y is undergoing some major renovations this summer.
Where do I start? When I signed up, they said they had many outings/​activities and showed me a list of them. Actuality, the have like 1 outing a week. The rest of the time its out on a field/​surrounding playground or inside (if it’s raining). They say they go swimming 3 times a week. Actuality the pool is closed for something or another more than not, so they do sprinklers.
The annoying thing is their outings mysteriously get cancelled or don’t happen. Other annoying part is you have to pay additionally per kid for the outing. I don’t mind paying additionally for the outing as I know places have fees, but they seemingly don’t negotiate anything in regards to the fee wherever they are going.
Example, if I were taking them to place X myself, it would be $ 10 per person. It’s the exact same if the ‘camp’ was taking them there. They are taking like 30+ kids, you think they could negotiate a better rate as they are bringing in more people to this place. They have their own park vans so their transportation costs should be lower or non-​existent. Also, by adding the additional outing fees, it comes out to pretty close what the Y costs, but they have an outing almost everyday, including beaches.
I’m hoping that the town does a better job at negotiating on other aspects of town business, otherwise I foresee town expenses rising.
I’m probably pulling my kids out and enrolling them in something else. I’m pretty disappointed in this camp. Next year it’s back to the Y. Sorry kids.
