“The teachers are AMAZING. I love that they’re all so into their craft– they’re not just bored teenagers on their phones like at some other camps. They are real artists and arts educators with high standards that result in the kids creating something at the end of the week that they’re really proud of. They’re also just warm and welcoming and seem to enjoy getting to know the kids.” – Parent Review
