My daughter tends to be more reserved and takes time to warm up, so I wasn't sure how she would do in a theater arts camp. From day one, Brittnie was so welcoming and accommodating to my daughter. The camp was designed for all different levels of theater experience and for all types of personalities and learning styles. My daughter loved the camp from the start, and she actually got mad at me when I came to pick her up early one day! The camp had a nice variety of activities, including arts and crafts, journaling, and games. Brittnie and Ben did a wonderful job of making the process fun for the kids. There was never any pressure to do the play (on the last day) perfectly. Brittnie encouraged students to use their scripts as needed and she found a way to help each child shine. I felt that the group size was just right. There weren't too many students, so Brittnie got to know each child very well. She invited guests to come in during the week and help with things like voice, breath, and posture. Brittnie also sent a detailed email summarizing the day so we had a good idea of what the kids were working on throughout the camp. After doing one week of theater arts camp, my daughter happily and eagerly signed up for another week later that summer. I highly recommend the theater arts camps with 2B Creative and look forward to having my daughter attend again.

The program has helped him build a strong foundation in both public speaking and debate. Over the years, he's gained not only valuable speech and argumentation skills, but also confidence, critical thinking, and the ability to communicate effectively. When he started middle school, he transitioned into Lincoln-Douglas (LD) debate, and thanks to the outstanding coaching and supportive environment at Athens Debate, he quickly developed a real passion for it. He genuinely loves debating and always looks forward to practices and tournaments. The coaches are knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly care about each student's growth. They challenge students to think deeply while providing encouragement every step of the way. We're incredibly grateful for everything Athens Debate has done for our son and highly recommend Athens Debate to any family looking for an exceptional speech and debate program.

The staff is organized, friendly, and provides multi levels of support. There are an enormous amount of resources available to the students including coaching, supplemental sessions both online or in-person, and additional materials. The program can be as simple or as complex as you'd like. The positive encouragement provided by the staff helps students succeed at all levels. They do an excellent job of keeping it fun especially in an environment where kids are working and competing under pressure. It is a great gateway to public speaking and higher levels of competition. The students are thinking critically about historical and current events, and moral issues. My son feels that he has learned so much more about these topics than from his classrooms. The CEO is phenomenal and thoughtfully engages with the parent community making himself readily available to answer questions and provide feedback. He is not just the business owner, but also very hands on and an experienced debater with great interpersonal and communication skills. Debate overall is a very complex program, but he can explain it and its ecosystem in an easy and digestible way. They have supported my son in not only excelling in their program, but also in helping us assess his talent and determine next steps. A++++ program. Just do it!!! ~ Caryn T

We chose this camp specifically because it advertised building a REAL AI Doll with a physical AI…read moredevice as its signature project. Unfortunately, that project was never provided during our children's camp, and the company refused to issue a refund. Our children attended the 4-day Junior AI Experience Lab. The course description repeatedly described the AI Doll as "The Big Project" and "This year's signature build." That was one of the primary reasons we enrolled. However, our children never built or received an AI Doll. During the showcase, they only demonstrated several very short computer projects. When we requested a refund, the company acknowledged in writing that there was "not enough class time" for the AI Doll project during the 4-day camp and even offered an additional day for our children to "complete the AI Doll project." Later, the explanation changed again, and we were told that our 6-year-old children simply learned more slowly than older students--even though the camp is specifically advertised for children ages 6-8. Shortly after our complaint, the course description on the company's website was revised. Fortunately, we had already saved screenshots of the original advertisement before the changes were made. We appreciate the efforts of the instructors. Our concern has never been about the teachers. It has always been about the significant difference between what was advertised and what was actually delivered, and how our concerns were handled afterward. Based on our experience, we strongly encourage any parents considering this camp because of its published course description to proceed with caution and carefully verify what will actually be delivered before enrolling.

We enrolled our 6-year-old children because the AI Experience Lab for Junior camp prominently…read moreadvertised that students would build a REAL AI Doll with a physical AI device as its signature project. That project was never provided during our session. In practice, the program was largely based on self-paced computer tutorials, with instructors answering questions when needed. At the showcase, our children presented a few very short computer projects that they referred to as "games." They were also allowed to play games on the computer after finishing the assigned activities early. When we raised our concerns, we received multiple explanations instead of a refund. The company first acknowledged there was not enough class time for the AI Doll project, then later gave different reasons. After our complaint, the course description was changed to remove the AI Doll references. We had no particular complaint about the instructors. Our concern is the significant difference between what was advertised and what was actually delivered, and how the issue was handled afterward. Parents should carefully confirm the actual curriculum, level of instruction, and projects before enrolling.

I registered my both kids to summer camp here. Their friends recommended to do the camp together…read morethough we usually go to other coding school. At first, my kids were really excited and came home talked about what they learned and created. It seemed like they had fun. Then problem started as my child told me that her file was deleted couple times and she couldn't find it. I told her to ask the instructor since they supposedly are good at computer. She told me that she couldn't log on because she forgot her password. Apparently this issue has been going on during the week long summer camp. I was not aware until Thursday evening from my child. Then I asked her what was she doing if she couldn't log on and no one could help her. She said she just sat there and listened. 1) we don't learn by sitting, we learn from doing and following step by step (so she wasted her learning time and my money) 2) no instructor aware that she was sitting there and not doing anything? Didn't raise their attention? 3) she claimed she forgot her password and instructor couldn't help her. Coder instructor should be able to trace back her password or reset password for her, correct??? 4) I emailed my concerns and I got back the response from manager that my child was joking with instructor. Yes, if she wasn't engaged and couldn't log on, I know my child would be bored and fooling around. Any child would. All the kids were laughing and having fun in class. I don't see any problem with my child enjoying the class and laughing. 5) couple kids said they had WiFi issues during class. Why would it be WiFi issues when this is a coding school. 6) when I emailed to the manager, his response was trying to point finger at my child that she was joking with the instructor instead of solving the issue and take responsibility about his instructors in class. No customer service. For sure, I won't recommend anyone to this place. Very disorganized and no customer service.

My children attended a summer camp at the coder school. This what I experienced:…read more Pros: the kids had fun there. When we entered or whenever we picked up or dropped off, you can see that children were having fun. You could see children laughing and smiling. They did complete some coding activities. Cons: 1. Limited staff- No one answered the phone. There was no front help person to answer phones during camp. I was running late, and called the office no one picked up the phone. When I picked up the children, the teacher gave his personal phone number to contact them. He said there is no one to answer phones during camp. Considering the amount of money as parents we pay for this activity and they should have someone in the front office answering the phone or have the teachers in the camp pick up the phone while the camp is in session. I know they are trying to cut cost, but the business phone should work during camp hours. 2. Each child are placed on their individual computers. If they have problems with the computer, instead of putting them on another one, they waited to repair it. So one of my children missed time during the day completing a project until they could the computer to work. We were not told about this until my children told us. We inquired about it and did not get a response why they were not put on another computer or that my child's project would be delayed. 3. Passwords- I have a younger child who forgot her password on the computer. The teacher didn't have the password that day, so she couldn't use the computer to complete her project. The following day, we contacted the manager to find out why the teacher didn't have it so our child could complete her work. The manager gave us the password. Then stated that our children were smiling and laughing in class. Prior to that comment, the teachers were giving my children compliments on how well behaved they were. That's an odd response from the manager-- deflect and blame tactic being used. My wife asked again why and we didn't get a response. We never found out from the manager nor the teacher why they didn't have the password prior day so my child could finish the project. Today, after our complaint, staff did have myu child's password. And again they avoided the question why they didn't have the password the day before. Overall, my children had fun. Other kids had fun. They looked like they learned something. However, the management and teachers could not answer simple questions and for the money we pay, there should not be downtime if computer is down or someone can't remember their password. However management avoided the question and was ready to deflect questions by blaming my children. We've gone to Code Ninja in the past and had a better experience there. They have better communication, kids have fun too, learn, and are more organized. If they have technical difficulties they move the child to another computer.
