This is a family run camp with a significant number of repeat staff and campers. The 2-week sessions give the campers a chance to become comfortable and competent. Many campers attend multiple sessions & I believe this is because the staff truly enjoys their work and the campers. It is such an awesome place, if only I was young again....

Art, music and more. Had the opportunity to attend "Salt Lick Sessions" at the Umbrella Arts Center…read morein Concord. The venue is intimate, seating is comfortable, acoustics are first class. Peruse a visual art show on the lobby before entering the auditorium. The evening was capped off by three outstanding musical artists who performed their hearts out: Olivia Barton brought her melodic voice and guitar, and crooned the audience with folksy songs about everyday life such as simply making the rent. Carter Benjamin energized the audience with his 3-piece rock group that evoked funkaledic influences of REM. Last but not least, Kiernan Rhodes serenaded us on the piano, with songs of youth and family, in a style and energy reminiscent of Billy Joel meets Hollywood. The talented musical trio capped off the evening by uniting in an unexpected encore, covering James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend."

My higher grade is more for the art center itself rather than the performances. There's always a…read moresmall exhibition at the center of the building and it's nice to see artists can work on their projects late into the night. The facilities look clean and orderly, including the bathrooms and artist studios. I liked seeing all pottery made by the various artists. I also enjoyed the theater itself. While the seating itself isn't all that special, the acoustics are quality. If you expect something significantly higher than community theater here, you may be disappointed. While the performances were fine, they're not really all that polished and feel rather barebones (two actors playing one role in a production was rather strange). If you want a more grander theater experience but without going into Boston, consider Reagle in Waltham. (For all you Yelp police out there, yes, I paid $ here for tickets so I can review)

BEWARE PARENTS: We signed our kids for 2 weeks summer camp. Our 8 year old girl was bullied for the…read morefirst 3 days (first by one boy and eventually by an entire group of boys) that 'she cant properly play, she should not be playing, she should go home...etc" up to the point she came home in tears after what is supposed to be a fun summer experience. We addressed firmly the matter with the responsible counselor and called the camp manager. Instead of taking responsibility both of them fully ignored the matter and instead blamed my husband for being 'aggressive' (when he was being firm they cant say they are handling the situation well when our kid is bullied for 3 full days and is coming back in tears). Instead of taking control and taking responsibility, they found it easier to punish us as parents and our innocent kids (yes, we have a second older son not at all part of this who was enrolled) by providing a refund without any discussion.
