The class price was $75 and covered instruction, materials, Mimosas, and delicious brunch fare. I opted to attend solo and was lucky enough to make a few crafting pals during the class. The class was well led and the studio is beautiful. I'm loving that they have memberships for kids and that they exist in general. A woman-owned business and keeping our community growing and working together to make beautiful things. Sign me up again and again!!

I came here for a knotty good time (macrame class) and thought it was a ton of fun. I have a…read morenew-found appreciation for all of the beautiful macrame pieces I see on Instagram and for the macrame plant-holders my parents had from the early 80s. We got to use sticks instead of dowels and there was brunch served. Brunch included hard-boiled eggs, coffee, fruits and a quiche. There was trendy/cool music playing in the background and the space was nice because there were lots of arts-and-crafts tools laying all around. My only objection is how expensive the class is. This place hosts all kinds of different arts and crafts events for both adults and kids.

Our group reserved canoes a couple weeks out to do a training for a Boundary Waters expedition…read more The night before our reservation, they emailed informing us the reservation was cancelled, because the person who registered was a minor (17). So we got an adult to place the reservation on what appears to be their we portal. Had to make the reservation an hour earlier, which caused several folk to miss it as they were still at work. But turns out they are the real winners. Because those of us who went over early just got to talk to the manager telling us that they close at 4:00 and there are no canoes, and the reservation clearly was not with them. Who was it with? "Colorado Watersports"... well that is us, no reservation showed on their system, so they demanded to know WHO we made the reservation with, who did we talk to... https://www.coloradowatersports.com/ They claim to have no control over the web site. It lets me make a similar reservation for tomorrow. From which I conclude you should never make reservations with that web site as it is not for rentals at Colorado Watersports at Chatfield. Note: they made no move to get a canoe as they don't want canoes going out that late. Literally all the employees were just sitting around doing nothing except try to prove we don't have a reservation. Clearly they did not want our business. They did not provide any canoes as promissed. Do yourself a favor, look elsewhere.

Waiting in traffic for an hour just for the rangers to tell us they aren't letting anyone else in. The equipment rental company wouldn't even refund us!

WOW what a time. My…read morefriend and I signed up with this company to take us on a 2 day extreme class IV/V Overnight rafting trip on the Arkansas river. We both have experience with this company from rafting the Upper Salt River in AZ. Unfortunately the water levels didn't cooperate but, the rafting company modified the itinerary to give us the best possible adventure possible. Day upper upper Browns Canyon which led to class I've and the use of duckies. Operation am not a fan but, half of our group loved them. We were then driven 1.5 hours away for our dinner and tent camping (3 miles from our put in). Ryan and Eric our guides cooked a great meal and catered to the group. We awakened to a mist and heavy fog, which we were served pancakes and sausages for a warm breakfast, and let's not forget hot coffee. We then departed at 8:30 for our trip down the Royal Gorge were we hit class in rapids, lots of class 3s, great geology, good company, lots of fun and a great experience. Ryan our lead guide and Eric did a great job for 2 days of providing us a great experience and memories. You have many choices but from a personal experience this is the best company to deal with. We are already planning next year's multi day trip.

We "dodged a bullet" with this company. They called us less than an hour before our trip to cancel,…read morenot because of dangerous conditions, but because another group canceled, and they didn't want to take 3 of us out. No integrity and no remorse for ruining our trip. Fast forward, we found an amazing company that agreed to work us in the same day and, after speaking to several people in the area, it is well known that Wilderness Aware Rafting has less experienced guides and get stuck in the river holding up "traffic" most days. Literally no one locally has anything nice to say. In hindsight, I am glad we didn't go with them.

I had an amazing weekend at CNC in Denver this last weekend. Not only were the days packed with…read moreactivities and great drinks and food, but the non-counselors and camp director were fantastic! I met so many wonderful people and did so many fun activities. I would like to caveat with... it is camp, with new people. You may get sunburned, you may get mosquito bites, you may not being sleeping on the most plush bed. You may have to overcome your shyness and stretch outside of your comfort zone, BUT, if you open yourself up to the experience, you will be blown away with the fun you have and the number of memories you make!

I just attended the Denver camp, and for the most part I had no complaints and the experience was…read morewhat I expected camp! What I didn't expect is that by signing up for camp you were signing up for cold, hard food. Don't get me wrong and think that I was expecting some gourmet meals or something, but if you serve me a hamburger patty or a baked potato, it should at least be warm enough to melt the cheese a little. Nope. It literally was a cold hard piece of food. Not sure why the didn't give a care at all, but the literally were serving anything. Im still trying to figure out what the $600 went towards. They served the bottom of the barrel for liquor and drinks. Besides the food, alcohol, and the cabin situation, camp was amazing and an experience to remember. I would not risk it again after that food mess though. Also don't spend money on the extra solo cabin. They didn't even bother to tell us that you don't have a bathroom and that you will have to take a hike in the freezing cold every time you want to use it or shower. The large bunks are attached to the bathrooms.

I attended a Yelp elite painting class here and it was so much fun…read more They offer a huge schedule of art classes in all different mediums. I am planning to do some drawing and possibly more painting over the Summer. They offer kids classes too. We used water colors as the base today and she started by teaching several techniques, which was incredibly helpful once we started our abstract pieces. We also used pastels on top, which I thought added a really cool texture to my work. The teacher made each part seem so simple, everyone in the class was able to make something really beautiful. So much fun! Go check it out.

I was really excited to get in to the Yelp Elite event as I only just started to embroider January…read moreof this year. Being that the event was on a Saturday the parking lot was relatively empty so I didn't have to find street parking, but I did notice many of my classmates found street parking. No one complained do it must have been easy. The class was small and intimate with 8 of us present. The instructor Karin introduced us to the Art Students League of Denver, the offerings, and some history. We went around the room and discussed everyone's level of experience and interests. She really listened and worked to tailor our experience based on our responses. Each seat was set up with the materials we needed and we started off with introductory stitches. After an hour we focused on our Art piece and near the end of class picked up remaining supplies to finish our work at home. 10 mins before leaving we all did stretching exercises and cleaned up the room. I'd recommend attending if others are interested in learning something new or expanding their skill set.

I audited just about every class in the Denver area, but there was always something missing. My very last audit was with Lea and I knew, immediately, I was HOME. I KNEW she was going to teach me a lot of things. What I didn't bank on was how much she would encourage me to learn about myself...mind, body and spirit. We set personal intentions for our class and the week...we do yoga the first class of the month ...I've had workshops where there is movement but nothing like this. I SINCERELY LOVE THIS CLASS AND KNOW WITH MY HARD WORK, DEDICATION TO THE ART FORM AND HER AS MY COACH I AM UNSTOPPABLE!
