Wake Forest Ninja Academy

Fantastic experience: Wake Forest Ninja Academy has been great for our son this Summer. He’s staying active, learning leadership skills, enhancing his strength and agility and meeting new friends. Completing the obstacles and testing his strength is also building his confidence.

Positive experience: My son had his birthday party there and only giving it four stars because he loved it, but as a parent I noticed things that bothered me. First the whole party is run by young kids who really don’t look thrilled to be there. Spent most of the time telling kids what they can’t do instead of showing them what they can and how to do it correctly. They provided plates and napkins and waters which was a bonus except when it came time to pass out food they were all shoved in a corner behind a table and we had to open all the brand new packages ourselves - would have been nice if the room was set up and ready with plates and napkins for our party. They only provide miniature water bottles which are pretty much useless if your a kid running around for an hour and a half - lesson learned - pack more water. Apparently kids couldn’t take a snack break either - lots of getting scolded at again for that. Again - an hour and a half they were thirsty and hungry so that was annoying. The kids running the party looked miserable to be dealing with young kids - one of the coaches decided to kick a ball across the room and it hit my daughter in the face and she was never acknowledged or apologized to. Unfortunately she didn’t divulge this was a coach until after we got home - she just said she got hit with a ball and was embarrassed - otherwise I would have said something there for sure. All in all, it could have been way better for the amount you spend on this, organization wise. But luckily my son had a great time anyway and didn’t notice all the annoyances that all the parents did. However this experience does not give me any interest in signing my kids up for camps or PNO or classes.

Positive experience: I would like to give 4.5 stars but I can’t! I took my son here for a week of Track Out camp. My son was a little discouraged after the first day because he wasn’t able to do one of the activities. But the rest of the week went great! He was tired when he came home from camp, but I knew he had had a fun day. The only reason I gave this place 4 1/2 stars is because there is no signage from the road that you can see! And even when you get to the building, the doors are slightly obscured by a tree. If this is your first time going, it is difficult to find. However, Once you’ve made it inside, the real fun for kids begins!

Fantastic experience: Such a nice facility and very helpful staff! My son thoroughly enjoyed camp.

Positive experience: My 9 year old enjoys being able to climb, run, jump and play in a safe environment. Always supervised and learning social skills while having fun with kids his age. My only complaint is I wish the space was larger. Fun place and friendly staff.
