Anne was so warm, very patient with my daughter and her one thousand questions about farm life and she introduced us to all the beautiful horses and ponies by name! On our way home, my daughter kept saying their names and how she wants to take riding lessons with one of the ponies.

First time, she…read moreloved, however her experience with the new audition process this time was very disappointing and traumatizing. Because of this, we will not be coming back, and my daughter has decided to drop out. The program now uses a new "audition without auditioning" model. But from a child's point of view, this was not clearly explained at all. My daughter thought she was coming to her first class to get to know the teacher and other kids, not hidden audition that would decide casting. It was also her first class, which is already stressful for a child, especially who needs a bit of time to get familiar with new situation. After I raised my concerns with the management, they told me that this was my fault because I was "notified" by email about their new system. But notified of what, exactly? A 10-year-old does not read emails. My daughter was never told directly that she was being auditioned for casting. When she later found out that those activities were actually her audition, she was very upset! This was not about the role she got. She has auditioned before and understands disappointment. What hurt her was feeling unprepared and misled and cheated. It felt like sending a child to their first day of school and then telling them afterward that they just took an important test that will decide their grade for the whole semester. That kind of surprise is unfair and very stressful for a child. We are not comfortable continuing in a program where expectations are not explained directly to the children and are instead pushed onto parents to manage. Our money and time was wasted, and even a partial refund was DENIED. I am glad that I got to enrol my child at great Berkeley Playhouse for the spring and her schedule is not completely waisted.

After a pause during COVID, she returned to participate in a couple of shows with the Kids program, then successfully auditioned for the Junior Competitive theater program in 4th grade. Now entering 7th grade, the growth we've seen in her has been nothing short of remarkable. Her singing, acting, and dancing have all improved exponentially--but even more importantly, the program has helped transform her natural confidence into real poise and presence. She's also built lasting friendships along the way. As part of the competitive theater program, she not only performs with a team but has also chosen to do solo competitions, which have helped her grow as an individual artist. These experiences have pushed her in the best way and have taught her discipline, collaboration, and how to shine on stage. I'm so grateful for the leadership of Chelsea and the entire team. The amount of care and effort they pour into the students and the productions is truly impressive. From "SpongeBob the Musical" to "Alice in Wonderland," the quality of these youth performances is extraordinary--complete with fantastic costumes, imaginative sets, and professional-caliber direction. The instructors are passionate, talented, and committed, and it's inspiring to see former students--many of whom have gone on to study theater in college--return to help with current productions. If she ever tires of theater, they have a solid dance program that offers competition opportunities as well! I'm so glad my daughter has the opportunity to grow within such a creative, supportive, and high-quality program for years to come.

My kid and her friend registered for the last week of summer camp. They arrived at 9 a.m., but…read moreunfortunately, many things weren't open until 10:30 a.m. Consequently, they had limited options for activities. Even the open activities were completely full. When things finally opened, there were extremely long lines, and they were unable to participate in any activities except for a 20-minute sewing session before being excused for lunch. They were repeatedly told to return an hour later on many activities, so they tried the library, which was closed, and then searched for athletic equipment like balls or anything, only finding none that weren't already being played with. In essence, the kids were left with no options and were forced to sit around and observed other kids doing the same, which is not what we expected from what was advertised. I understand that the camp has a high number of kids the last week of summer, but it should not compromise their overall experience. I had to pick them up early because they literally had nothing to do. I am a working mom and was really hoping this camp would have worked out for them for the next day. Therefore, I requested a full refund but nobody ever got back to me about it. Super disappointing and a fair warning for others who are looking to enroll in this summer camp in the future.

This is the first contact I have received from this business since they abused my child 21 days…read moreago. While the director spoke to me initially, she was rude, condescending, and unapproachable. All I got were excuses. I left a message with HQ and NEVER heard back from them. I asked them to review the phone call transcripts because the site director was incredibly inappropriate, spoke to me in a rude tone, and talked over me. I have nothing to hide from the phone call and was calm the entire time she was lying and being rude. I repeat that no one from HQ ever got back to me about my valid concerns or addressed the director's lack of follow-through with on-site protocol. And, after 21 days, it appears nothing was addressed or changed to actually protect kids. My 12 year old is mad they did this to my 10 year old because my 10 yo repeated something another kid said, but said it sarcastically back to the kid. The initial offender who meant the remark never was punished. Instead, they thought the right thing to do was to lock my child in a room by HIMSELF for over 3 hours and not call me. He was screaming the whole time, per my other child and his friends from the camp. Think about that. My child was screaming alone in a room by himself and was not allowed to come out, nor was I called. For a little sarcastic comment he made. I am amazed that the director is still working there. This is a travesty, and she is abuaive and incompetent. We will certainly never return.

The camp is not licensed, nor are the teenage counselors properly trained to care for such young children. It was traumatic beyond belief, and I would highly encourage ANY parent looking for summer camp to ask the right questions about safety and staff/child ratio, especially in regards to preschool-aged children.

Unlike most summer camps that focus on indoors activities (outdoor time is just the playground),…read moreAvid4 is very different. The kids have focused activities every day that include biking, hiking, kayaking, paddle boarding as well as other activities like yoga. Older kids get to go climbing (how cool is that!). For most major activities the kids get safely transported in vans to nearby parks and reservoirs. I initially thought that my kid would get a limited experience (e.g. mountain biking in the parking lot, kayaking in a pool, etc). I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they actually provide even the littlest adventurers the full experience! This means that after the initial lessons in a flat area like a parking lot where beginners learn to bike and get comfortable, and more advanced kids to ride safely and learn new tricks, they actually get to go mountain biking on trails. Kayaking and paddle boarding is done at a local park or reservoirs. Hiking is done at a local park where others also go hiking. I'm not sure why I was expecting anything different (the experience but not the setting), but they actually go all in to truly give the kids the full outdoor adventure. If you're nervous for your little one or unsure whether she or he will like it, I suggest giving it a try for just a week and see how it goes. Every kid is different. I signed up my incoming 1st grader for just one week as I wasn't sure how he'd like it. At the end of it, he begged me to sign him up for more weeks, but unfortunately it was their last one. What makes this experience that much more special is that the counselors are young, energetic, encouraging and very motivating. They never push kids to do anything that they do not want to, but they try to motivate them to try at least once. They also work with different kids levels and skills to maintain a very safe environment. The equipment is top notch and in pretty much new condition (Specialized bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, floatation vests, etc.). The cherry on top is that on the last week they actually sell off most of the items they used at a great discount. My little guy attended the Campbell location last time as the Los Gatos location is new this season. He waited a whole year to be able to go again, and this time his brother will also join him. He was so excited after last year's experience that even his little brother is pumped up and looking forward to it. I highly recommend this camp.

Excellent summer camp. Can't recommend it enough. The staff are awesome. My son actually said at…read morethe end that he was sad it was over, that it was the best summer camp he has ever attended, and next year he wants to do their camp every single week. The kids are kept busy with a different activity each day: biking, hiking, paddle boarding, climbing and outdoor IQ. I think what makes the difference is the staff. They are constantly interacting with the kids, even during the game at the end when they are waiting to be picked up. They help the kids get to know each other, rather than leaving them to their own devices. My son didn't know anybody in the camp to begin with, but by the middle of the week he was exchanging contacts to play fortnite later in the day. Well worth every penny.

I am so incredibly grateful I found this place!

They are kind, incredibly generous with their knowledge, and created such a welcoming environment for both my mom and me. There is a really nice variety of workshops too and I'm hoping they add even more for evenings. I recently took the holiday linocut workshop and had the best time! It wasn't just about learning a new craft; the vibe was so social and upbeat. The teacher was wonderful and the other students were a blast to hang out with while we worked. Their approach to teaching really builds your confidence. For the first time, I actually felt like an artist rather than just a hobbyist. The atmosphere here is creative, supportive, and fun. I'm constantly checking their calendar for new classes and workshops to be added. Check them out if you or your kids (or your mom!) want a community as well as an art school.

We are currently attending this art school, and I want to share our experience, especially…read moreregarding their make-up class policy. They only allow one make-up class--ever. I understand policies exist for a reason, but what happens when a child is sick? Are parents expected to bring their sick kids just so they don't lose a class they already paid for? I tried requesting an earlier time due to a legitimate scheduling issue, but was told no because we had already used our one make-up. So if my child gets sick again, we simply lose the class. As for the teaching, I honestly can't even say if it's great since this is our first time enrolling. But it's sad that because of this strict policy, it just doesn't seem like it will work for us. It's ultimately my fault for not reading the make-up policy closely, but after this experience, we won't be returning. We still have two classes left, which we will attend, but that will be the end for us. My friend's child is actually in the ceramics program at this same art school--she's the one who referred me--and even she thinks the policy is too rigid. If you have a very healthy child and know you'll make every session, then this school might work for you. Otherwise, there are other art programs--like Damoya Art in Danville--that are far more flexible with scheduling. When I spoke with Alex, I was told that other art schools don't even offer any make-up classes at all, as if I should be grateful for the one they allow. But for a kids' program, flexibility matters. Unfortunately, this school has just lost a customer.
