My son has attended The Roleplay Workshop (Abantey) for the last 2 1/2 years, since he was 10, and absolutely LOVES it.  He goes as many weeks in the summer as he can and also on Saturdays and holidays during the school year.  It is a truly a unique and creative camp – which is not captured by the rather serious name of “Role Play Workshop”  and  I just feel so fortunate that it is practically in our backyard.  If your child likes imaginative play, and/or likes to make up games s/he will really like this.  The kids create their own characters and go on missions in a wholly created, very imaginative world.  And it’s all done with an aim to emphasizing positive values and problem solving.  Math and other skills are slipped in too.  I agree with another reviewer that Becky, the long-time director, is brilliant with kids and teenagers.  The kids love and respect her.  I can’t say enough good things about this camp.  During the summer, the kids also go to the park at lunch and play ultimate frisbee so there is also time for running around.
