Few things are as rewarding as learning an actual trade or skill. Ellie Lum is the heart and soul of Klum House and she is one of the best teachers I've ever met. Her passion for seeing and teaching others her craft is inspiring and helps to build confidence in even the most uncoordinated chickens that fear the sewing machines needles. I showed up to my second class ready to learn and make something awesome and I left feeling stoked on my waxed canvas backpack and stoked on the sense of accomplishment. Also, Ellie has fantastic taste in music and you will want to dance yourself all the way home with your completed project. Go here!!!

This place is so special! After my first class, I knew I would want to come back again and again and again. The instructor taught with such clarity and patience. She made us all feel welcome and capable. We walked out with new skill sets and a bag that I am so damn proud to say I made. People are sho led that u made it - it's beautiful! I can't wait to check the schedule and see what class I can take next. Perfect for some quiet alone time or something fun I can do with a friend. I just love it.

Very disappointing experience. Only a few instructors knew what they were teaching and even then…read morewere NOT great educators. Management was god awful. Attended for two years with mostly Ds and a 2.3 GPA before I had enough and switched to UofO despite my advisor insisting it would be more difficult. Got a 3.6 GPA my first term at UofO, and funnily enough, it was cheaper to attend despite my grants and scholarships for PNCA. Other places are better. PNCA is a good idea if you want to pretend you were held back and want to attend a disjointed summer school. Thats the vibes of this establishment. God awful. I'm sure it was once great before it was bought out by willamette but now? save yourself the money and poor GPA and just go somewhere else.

this school gave me no education. one of my required classes was a foraging class where we foraged…read morenatural plants to make into paint. i paid thousands of dollars for it and we only ever met in person every two weeks to basically bullshit about nothing. i learned nothing. another required class we had was to make costumes out of cardboard. thousands of dollars. on cardboard costumes. it felt like i was in pre-k most of the time. none of my actual drawing classes taught me anything, and when covid hit they let us take a 'Pass' in our classes if we didnt want to attend the online course. which means i basically paid to pass a class but not actually earn the grade. we also had to pay for facility fees, etc. even though we were online! theres a reason why the dropout rate is so high. there was an incident where a gun was fired from outside into the dorm windows, and students get assaulted often near the school. the school is in a horrible, horrible part of town. none of the professors stay for long. the acceptance rate is ridiculously high because of how high the dropout rate is, so most of the students (esp illustration) are....not high standard. financial aid doesnt give a fuck about helping you, and the department head never cared about helping me with my schedule or anything else. students and professors say slurs and nobody cares. the school advertises that theyll help you get jobs after you graduate but the job website was never updated and only had about 6 outdated postings. this school is my hellhole and im in so much debt and learned. absolutely. nothing. if you actually care about an art degree go somewhere else.

Right from the start my experience with this camp was poor. I am new to Portland and was very…read moresketched out dropping my child in Kelley Point Park/ bum camp/ meth den. I had driven all the way and decided I would be leaving him with staff who would care for him. I take note of the Do Not Swim in Water signs. We arrived early as there was no traffic on the Monday before the 4th. I chatted briefly with the girl with a clipboard. Then I stood there while she checked in a returning camper. I had to inquire if I could check in my son. Her response " well we don't start till 9am". Yes, I realize Im early but do I stand here, while you stand here till then. Sigh. When my wife picks up my boy she is informed that my son lagged behind the group with a friend, the group turned and they went straight. So, they lost him! In this park I was already none too keen on. The wife also is informed he spent the day in the water and being buried in the sand. She immediately came home and googled the reason why there is no swimming. Luckily it was not a Hep A outbreak just that 2 people drowned! My son hops in the shower and when he gets out we are able to see his face is scorched. My wife was told they tried to shade him with sticks as he was buried in the sand. Hmmm couldn't borrow sunscreen or have the camp stock it? We expect a lot of responsibility from my son and work hard on independence. We discussed his role in getting lost but at best it is only half his fault, he is 8years old. Final complaint, my son did not even complete the bone activity because he said "you don't even have to do the activities". If you want your child to participate in this type of invaluable education chose Trackers PDX. My son went and gained confidence and knowledge. I was very pleased with their program. I was so disappointed with Rewild my son did not return. My wife couldn't sleep due to her concerns of what could go wrong the rest of the week. Next summer, only Trackers.

The Ivy Basket Class was absolutely superb! I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in…read morebasket weaving, wild-crafting, or just wanting to learn a new skill. Peter is an excellent instructor and a wealth of knowledge on all things ecology. The best part of the class was all of the other wonderful people that it attracted. I can't think of a better way to spend a day. Be careful though... after doing one of these classes, you're going to want to do more! The class was just yesterday (3/9/13) and I've already signed up for another by Rewild on Animal Tracking.
