My daughter had an amazing time at Painting on Park's 2023 summer camp. This was her first summer…read morecamp ever and I am so happy that it was with PoP because it made her feel so confident and excited. When I picked her up after her first day there she said, "I had so much fun and I made new friends!" That made my momma heart so happy. The instructors at the summer camp were so warm and welcoming and my daughter said they were very nice and helpful. She came home every day with an amazing painting and craft. She did a painting every day and PoP supplied different crafts like friendship bracelets, slime, really neat paper mache lanterns and much more. She also received a tie-dyed PoP shirt and a snack every day. This summer camp was definitely right up her ally and she said she wants to do it again next year. The price is right (and even on the more reasonable side) compared to other art camps in the area. Thank you for a lovely week long summer camp PoP! We will be returning!

I recently attended a Pilates class with Liz, and I continue to be deeply impressed by her…read moreexceptional instruction. Liz is a phenomenal teacher whose precision, attentiveness, and capacity to tailor her guidance to each student's body are nothing short of extraordinary. Her corrections are subtle yet transformative, and she leads with both authority and empathy, creating an environment of confidence, safety, and growth. It is regrettable that Liz's talents are not more broadly acknowledged within the gym. Her classes do not receive the same visibility or promotion as many of the more mainstream group activities--and that is a disservice both to her as an instructor and to potential students who would immensely benefit from her expertise. This is especially poignant during the season of Diwali, a sacred time in September/October that honors light over darkness, spiritual renewal, and the triumph of knowledge and mindfulness. Liz's approach to Pilates--centered on balance, breath, focus, and inner strength--resonates powerfully with the spiritual symbolism of Diwali. In fact, her class would have been an ideal program to promote during this period, as it aligns so beautifully with the themes of illumination, inner harmony, and self-transformation. Liz is not just a capable instructor--she is an extraordinary asset to the Pilates community. She deserves far greater recognition, support, and promotion so that more students can discover the profound value she offers. YMCA management needs to be open to your members needs. The diversity and age audience has changed. Idea - perhaps incorporating yoga class nights for couples while their children are being taken care of? Or maybe promoting Pilates evening class with "a thriller night with Pilates"?

The space is large enough to fit all of us as well as setting up food and drinks for our party. Elena was very responsive and helpful from Day 1 and made the party planning very easy for us. The music they played was all the hits that were popular when we were in high school and college, and everyone was just having a great time and singing along. The instructor (I will update with her name) made the painting process so easy and fun for everyone regardless of everyone's skills or experience with painting! My coworkers still talk about it today about what a fun time they had. I would highly recommend this studio! Some good to know points: *Parking is street parking available or metered garage around the corner, metered parking down the road. Make sure you have quarters or dimes! 25 cents will give you 30 minutes, and after 7pm parking is free! *you can have food delivered to the studio! We ordered pizza and salads and drinks from "Ferrazoli's" in the area we were very happy! *Dont forget to bring wine and they have wine bottle openers! *they provide aprons... make sure you roll up your sleeves! *For large groups, you need to purchase 4 weeks in advance 10 tickets at $35 each Thanks PaintZone for making this a fun memorable experience!

The staff (from counselors to instructors) is also fantastic and a group of very experienced professionals. The directors are always developing new programs and bringing in the latest activities for campers of all ages. One of the newest additions to the camp is the climbing wall and zip line. My kids could not get enough of them. My kids are also huge fans of animals and the fact that Deerkill has a pony, and a couple of friendly alpacas is a great plus. Overall, I would recommend Deerkill to anyone that would like to provide their kids with the opportunity to have summers they will never forget making life long friends along the way. Thanks Deerkill, the kids can't wait to be back again this summer!!!
