This camp is a scam. I went through the same thing last summer with this camp. It’s almost like they get you excited about this great location and all of the academic and performing arts that they offer, and then they pull the old "bait and switch" on you. Unlike a lot of people who are still waiting for refunds, I did get mine. I would not leave the facility until I received my refund (sometime you have to get ignorant with people). Now I see that they are at it again this year (I've received their 2014 summer camp flyer). I will be attending their meet and greet and informing parents of my and apparently many others' experience with this "company". We as parents need to make sure that we inform our friends and schools of the shadiness of this place.

My daughter was to attend the TCU location. Paid up front. Days later I was told by email that because of the age of the kids the camp couldn't be at at the TCU location. I was asked if I wanted a full refund or go to the new location, which was on the opposite side of town for me. I asked for a full refund. after a few weeks I finaly got a hold of COX himself and he said my refund was going to be mailed out in the second batch. Never received anything. Sent multiple emails, which I still have and was told they were not scamming me and I would get my refund. Well it it now DECEMBER 15, 2013 and no refund. I was scammed by this so call camp.

This summer was the worse experience I had with this camp. I paid for my granddaughter in full and because my grand kid school did not turn out until three weeks later from the day camp started I lost $200.00. I will not recommend this camp to any of my friends or anyone for that matter.

I signed my son up for the Inspiratioanl Keys at one of the Louisville, KY sites. During the first week, we found out that most of the programs that they had promised were not available - and it was very unorganized. The second week of camp - the camp closed down without prior notice so hundreds of parents were stuck without childcare. Parents from all over Louisville, myself included, have requested to be refunded for - at least - the registration fees. But, as far as I know, no one has received a dime. Very dissappointed in the whole experience.

Worse experience ever...3 kids signed up and excited to attend only to find the doors closed the first day and relocated 20 miles away without notice. Inspriational Keys owes me $495 refund which I've been requesting since June 10th and still have not seen a dime...they dont answer phone calls or reply to emails...SCAM!!!

Made a surprise visit yesterday. Only one adult present for the entire camp. Started off ok but now just a mess. I'm sure the church in Little Rock won't let this camp come back next year. The gym looked a mess

We have had a great summer at the Little Rock campus. The staff is friendly, courteous and responsible. I feel confident that my child is safe and happy when I drop her off every morning. I am very impressed with what they are able to offer for only $65 a week, which is half the price of any other camp in Little Rock. My child is receiving 2 hours a day of dance and gymnastics instruction along with acedemics and supervised free play from 7am until 6pm. The class sizes are about the same as her elementary school. She is having fun, making friends and learning. We are 8 weeks in to the program and have had only good results. I hope inspirational keys is able to resolve whatever has caused problems at other campuses this summer. The program is a great concept and has a lot of potential. I hope they will be back in Little Rock next year.

As others have said SCAM. All promises and answers provided a mandatory meeting were not met. Failure to meet any level of standards in the following areas: location (not TCU campus in Forth Worth but 20 minute farther away indoor soccer field), food (not box lunches but cheap pizza), staffing (none of the instructors were the ones we met at the meeting and were obviously not as qualified so beware this bait-and-switch), child-to-teacher ratio (5 teachers total, ratio numbers were not as promised and they combined large age ranges without notification), activities (most promised activities did not happen or only happened because children brought their own games/materials). Then the camp closed abruptly mid week and they want to refund us $33 per child activity fee + extra tshirts billed (nothing else) OR we can have it free next year. That should make anyone laugh. I would never trust these people with my kids again. Check BBB ratings, they have complaints from multiple states.

SCAM! Camp closed without any prior notice. Still waiting to be refunded. Not holding my breath. So sad to be so shady when dealing with lots of working parents who need childcare.

SHADY......SHADY I do not recommend this camp one bit!!!! My child attended in June in Houston, false promises. We were told they would provide meals which never happened, camp tshirts we were charged up front for never arrived. We arrived a Monday morning with no available venue and all the employees waiting outside. Educational keys a bunch of bull, we were asked to provide all supplies and bring any electronics to entertain the kids definitley not expected from a camp that promotes EDUCATION!

The Director of the IKeys organization made a lot of promises regarding academics and performing arts during the summer program but did not carry them out. The student/teacher ratio was not what he said it would be. There were too many kids in the classes. The camps were consolidated without any communication with the parents. The students did not receive the rigorous academic program promised and the performing arts classes were not held on a consistent basis. This program is a scam! We have high expectations for our child and this camp can not provide the rigor that we expect.
