And when I joined Thrive Academy, I realized I had been carrying some of those same struggles too. I wasn't starting from scratch. I had a business with steady coaching clients and had been leading weekly classes for over five years. But inside, I knew it was time for something bigger. I was ready to refine my niche, update my digital assets, shift my audience, and expand my revenue in a way that truly reflected my soul's work. Thrive Academy met me right there. The way they teach is both digestible and expansive. I could take things in small, easy steps that built confidence and momentum--and at the same time, I had the freedom and structure to run at full speed when inspiration hit. There's always a clear pathway forward, and that's been priceless. What I love most is that Thrive isn't just strategy--it's transformation. They've given me the clarity, community, and courage to embody the next level of my business. I'm no longer trying to figure it all out alone. I feel supported, structured, and lit up about the impact I'm here to make. Thrive didn't just help me revamp my business. It helped me rise into the leader I've always known I could be. If you're a coach, healer, or heart-centered entrepreneur who knows you're meant for more--but you're tired of piecing it all together on your own--Thrive Academy is the container that will hold you, stretch you, and guide you into the business and life you were born to create.

Staff were friendly, and walking around campus felt safe and well kept. I didn't see children or teenagers. This place feels more for adults or seniors. The plant based meals were excellent!They also have educators and trainers you can take sessions with. I'm not so sure it's for everyone. A few things I didn't like, the shower water pressure was very weak, and there was a branch hanging above the bed. I don't like the shadow of branches at night. Because of that, 4 stars. If you live in the Bay Area, it's still a nice mini getaway to relax and reset.

I went to college at UC Santa Cruz and would come up on the weekends to do volunteer service frequently over several years. I have been out of college for several years and no longer live in Santa Cruz, but still come up from time to time. It's just one of those places that keeps drawing you back. They have great weekend sessions that you can sign up for on a variety of topics. Additionally, this is a great space that you can rent out for weddings, reunions, retreats, etc. They have a variety of conference rooms, cabin style sleeping accommodations, play areas and a basketball court as well as a pool and wading pool for the warmer months of the year. You can tell that the people that work and volunteer at Bosch know how special it is and put their love into taking the best care of the campus.

In the last lesson, he went over specific "automatic fails" to avoid for the driver's test that none of us knew about or expected.

Firstly, do not ever give them money up front. You will never have a chance to get refunded if anything goes wrong. That being said, we are out over $7,000 because my daughter decided this wasn't the school for her seven weeks into the program, sorry, it says on their website, no refunds. This was their first year in business and I was only trying to help them out. At the end of the school year when my son decided this was not the program for him either (this being after he was left unattended in the woods on one of the hottest days of the year, without water...among other issues of negligence), we were forced to simply give up all that money. I think there are issues of not only negligence, but bullying, sexism, and really what I found to be fraud on the owner/teachers part. They will tell you anything to get you in, but once you are in, you find nothing happens unless you make it. Which is the way life works anyways, so why give them money? I think for the right family/child situation, this school may work. I was sorely dissapointed that this was not the program I was led to believe it was....and I'm out $7,000.

Wilderness Skills Institute is a different kind of school. I wish this was available when I was a…read morekid. In my opinion It combines the effectiveness and self-actuating theories of a Sudburry with the energizing and grounding experiences of a "true" nature school. The students are engaged and bright and the mentors are encouraging, resourceful and available to help guide the students in the pursuits of their individual passions. Students are involved in every aspect of their own personal educational journey. Lessons evolve through logical learning based on the individuals goals and aspirations. Boredom and burnout do not exist and that leads to a lifelong passion for learning. The founders/owners of Wilderness Skills Institute are to be congratulated on creating a truly unique and inspirational environment for a nature-based and nature-connected learning experience. My children and family will continue to benefit from what they started. This really is education "the way it was meant to be". I wish every child had the opportunity to attend a school like this. Can't recommend this school enough!

He's already a working actor, so sometimes it's tough to find a space that caters to someone like him- he has some experience-but of course-he's a kid! And has SO much to learn and so much growing to do. When they say that you'll feel at home- they are absolutely correct! Our son was nervous and within 5 minutes of arriving, he was waving us off~ from tears of anxiety to smiles and an eagerness to join and play and learn and experience all that camp YATC has to offer! From top notch coaches, teachers, performers, counselors, and the sweetest-most accepting & creative kids! All set in the breathtaking Santa Cruz mountains. It's a dreamy place where dreams grow and kids can be themselves, accepted, encouraged, and nurtured. Thank you Shawn & Valerie & everyone at Campy YATC for creating a welcoming space for these sweet performers to hone their craft, while making new friends in a gorgeous setting. PS-our kid is a mega boy-like plays football & has has a ton of bros- but-he's an artist and loves to meet fellow artists from all walks of life - this place delivered! Oh- yeah- the cabins- well- they're cabins... it's not the Ritz-but-it's safe-comfortable- well ventilated!! And really-so fun-our son tells it like it is and is super picky- he loved his time and can't wait to return. As a mom, I am grateful. Highly recommend for your young performer-actor, singer, dancer, writer, dreamer. Ps... the pool is clean and perfect- the cabins are older, but not moldy- I'm not sure where the bad reviewer below stayed, but it does not sound like this camp. The cost is not "cheap" but I feel that the value is there- the kids are learning & are safe-engaged-encouraged-and really well taken care of.

Shawn and his team of counselors were responsive and encouraging. My daughter is still keeping in touch with her bunk mates and is already looking forward to next year.
