GreatPLAY - GreatLIFE Topeka

Kenny Cochrane

Have a family membership for all the locations and today during regular business hours was denied access due to private event. Called corporate office and they were less then apologetic. I had drove across town to take my kids there on their last day of summer break to only be told we couldn’t utilize what our membership grants us access to. It’s extremely distasteful to turn members away so that nonmembers can use entire facility during regular business hours. My kids were extremely disappointed. Checked their website and it said nothing about being closed for private event.

Nice gym ac could be turned down a little. Clean and friendly staff at this location can't say the same about other locations

I pulled my son from this Greatlife Great Play Summer Camp program in North Topeka as the very young counselor and young desk manager decided to move him permanently away from his group of friends and a girl he liked because there was talk about him and the girl discussing that they "might" decide to kiss. This was the first time I had heard about it. They never touched each other and it was all hearsay, confirmed by my son and the staff. Rather than use it as a moment to educate and instill trust, or to discuss with me, the mangers took it to the extreme, used it to embarass them both, impress thier views on them that they are too young to "date??" as they called it, and treat it as if my 10 year old son was about to have intercourse or something. When I attempted to discuss it, I was met with a poor attitude and lack of respect as a customer. The very young desk manager also refused to give me solid contact information for her supervisor, just a membership email and no compromise for the situation stating thier behavior guidlines address "no dating", to which the behavior document they provided does not have such written in it. Her reactions were over the top and disregarded my concerns of why should he lose all hisnfriends he build for something he didnt do and wouldnt do after some good respectable coaching. They dont know how to do that here and have showed me all they are on are power trips. After finding an email for a program manager I was able to get a call back which just reinforced that this place has no business running a camp or dealing with children as this person lacked service skills or decent views about children and proved where the power trips with staff come from. The youth operating this place are too young, there is never an older adult around. My son mentioned other incidents such as physically bumping him and other kids to comply with instruction and verbally yelling often at the groups and counselors even complaining they had enough of it all early mornings. We have attended other camps with great staff and no issues for years but they were all booked this year as we tried to enroll too late, now I know why this one was not fully booked.
