Make sure to bring water on the Epic Journey hike! About half of the staff I like and the other half I didn't. Every kid has to have a buddy with them to go to the bathroom or anywhere else, even if it's 20 steps away from where everybody is. If you have some medicine or something to be given by the health clerk, you have to go with a buddy even though it's right next to the cabins and have a water bottle to drink with the medicine. I liked my cabin leader, she was amazing. Overall it's fun but it can also be annoying. I am glad I went though.

Inspired by watching the TV series Alone made me want to get started with learning survival skills…read more- this course helps you get your feet wet in the core elements of how to analyze and think critically when faced with a survival situation. Dan Baird was an incredible instructor (his background as a primitive survival specialist must be highlighted here) as he gave a very clear reality of what we need to tackle i.e. shelter and temperature regulation, knowing your environment, etc. We got to build shelters on what we think we would good for a survival and Dan showed us a much more sustainable version: both in a limited amount of time to replicate more dire situations. We also got to practice tying up gauze in case of heavy injury and bleeding as well as how to properly navigate via a compass (who knew there were two kinds of "north"?!) Overall, I highly recommend and will be back for more! Note: our training was in the mountains of Livermore - your car will get dirt on it!!

What a wonderful experience! Best tennis academy in the area!…read more Florin Marica is very talented, knowledgeable, experienced and professional. He is very attentive with the students, and knows how to push them to achieve high standards and goals. It's obvious he really loves tennis and what he does, and really cares for his students and their success. All coaches at the academy: Florin himself, Jon, Elliot, Daniel, are great, working with the students on all aspects a complex sport like tennis encompasses: physical and mental training, tactic, techniques and strategy. Prices are very reasonable considering the top notch quality of the lessons both private and clinic. I am extremely happy with the coaching and overall experience and I strongly recommend Florin Marica Tennis Academy.

My high school daughter thoroughly enjoys her training with Katya. She has been with her for over…read moretwo years. She absolutely loves her coaching and is thriving in her vocal passions because of Katya!

I heart Katya. I…read morefirst met Katya last October, and have been taking on-and-off lessons with her (with weekly lessons during spring/audition season of this year). Katya is a legit opera singer who effectively teaches singers of all levels (beginners to advanced), ages and musical types (e.g. opera, musical theater, pop). When I first came to Katya, I never had private singing lessons before and did not know what a head voice sound like--I only had a chest voice that I often pushed. Katya changed that and my range has increased by almost an octave; I went from an alto to a soprano. She works patiently with her students, customizing her lessons to what they need most. Also, she records every lesson and at the end of the lesson, she saves it onto students' USB so they can listen to it and practice at home. There are many other pluses to being her student. She will notify students of opportunities to perform--she'd sometimes set up student recitals or invite students to sing at various events. If you have another voice teacher (for example, because you're an actor and voice is part of your curriculum), she'll work with what you've learned in that class so that your ideas about voice aren't conflicted. I'm a bit bummed that I haven't had as many chances to work with her in the past few months due to the nature of our schedules, but if you can get a first session with her, snatch it!

My friend and I toured the campus together and we both fell in love with the school right away. The courtyard is very beautiful and relaxing. I appreciate that the school offers a balanced curriculum and that kids get to learn and play in both the spacious indoor classrooms and beautifully-landscaped outdoor campus, all while being themselves. The teachers are loving and caring. My son has been going there for over six months now and he is always so happy and looking forward to spending his afternoon there.

It would be nice if they took credit cards in this day and age, and I have no idea why they can't fork out the 2% to Visa to make it easier for all their customers, but that's life.

I first learned about Kristi's class from several other actors who highly recommended her to…read moreimprove on their auditions and to start booking jobs. I was nervous the first day but Kristi creates a welcoming and supportive environment. I felt safe to express myself, make mistakes and to ask questions. The format of the class starts with brief introductions to the other friendly drop in students then warm up exercises which are always different and thought provoking. Then we take turns performing cold reads into the camera. She chooses the scenes and gives us options and flexibility on what we want to work on. (If we let her know ahead of time she will email us the scripts so we have more time to prepare. )Then we get to watch the playback of our performances and receive constructive feedback right then and there that we can immediately implement into our second take of the scene. Kristi gives expert advice and encourages us to be creative and try different things. She can help pinpoint weaknesses and strengths and how exactly to improve upon them. I've gained confidence as an actor and learned techniques that work for me. It's also been helpful to observe the other students perform different scenes and to hear Kristi's feedback for them. I highly recommend bringing a notebook to remember her insightful advice and our discussions. Kristi is a great teacher, personable, entertaining and she knows what she's talking about. I can't emphasize enough how fun her class is! We are all learning and laughing and discovering ourselves- it's an enriching experience. Another bonus is she lets you keep the recordings which helps if you don't have a reel to send out to auditions yet. Anyone can take this class, it's convenient and not too expensive, I don't think there's a better way to spend a Thursday night!

I've only taken scheduled classes which are usually 8 people sat around Gemma's adorable kitchen watching her prepare the food and then tasting as each bit finishes, but I know she also has different class styles (come to your house, book a class based on your schedule, etc.) No matter what the format You Say Tomato really makes cooking delicious, high quality food easy to understand and replicate once you're back home.
