I reluctantly signed up, was somewhat shocked at the price, and was skeptical that he would both enjoy it and last the entire day let alone week. TO MY SURPRISE...HE LOVED IT. Every minute of it. He actually built a very cool game. The teachers were amazing and the other students became friends. We will certainly be back next year. Highly recommend this camp.

Ripoff alert!!! I registered two camps for my son three months before camp knowing that they…read moreallowed full refund for cancellation at least 21 days ahead. This was what they disclosed on their online registration and billing pages. When I tried to cancel within TWO days of registration, the company now says they will charge a cancellation fee of $570 ($285x2) which was not disclosed anywhere at checkout. Look into Lavner and other tech/science camps unless you want to deal with ripoff pricing and unethical billing practices.

Took a five-hour test and had a good experience. The test center is nice and clean, and is located…read morein a small office building. Earmuffs were offered. They were not electronic noise-cancelling headphones but did a good job of blocking out noise. There are partitions on each side of the desk, offering good privacy so that one is not bothered by movements to either side of the desk. The size of the monitor is around 22" and has good resolution. The chair is fairly comfortable with basic height and tilt adjustment. The temperature inside was a bit on the cooler side so dressing in layers is recommended. The staff were very professional and courteous, and provided detailed instructions regarding check-in, key to the locker, code for the restroom, and taking breaks. For my specific test, plenty of scratch paper was offered, along with two sharpened No. 2 pencils. The only downside is that the restroom is located down the hall about 50 yards away. I only had a 10-minute break and had to sprint all the way from and to the test center, plus the time needed to get a drink from my water bottle from the locker and the time took to check back in, there was very little time left when I was back at the desk (my test would be forfeited if I was not back within 10 minutes). Highly recommend this test center and would come back again.

The behaviour of the receptionist/front office staff was shockingly rude. She was yelling on all…read morecylinders to anyone within earshot, accused me of being late, and screamed at the tiniest provocation. It was enough to get into a screaming match with her to regain some semblance of control of the situation. This is not the environment you want to come to when you take a test. I dropped hundreds of dollars to take a test necessary for my career at a company that essentially has a monopoly stranglehold on the industry, so I can understand that they wouldn't care to have good customer service. However, we can at least exercise a modicum of choice in not going to this particular branch. I'm a good test-taker and don't get ruffled easily, but one can feel pity toward the great majority of the population who get nervous during tests and have the misfortune of being met by disgustingly ill-mannered staff for something that can make or break career advancement. For shame.

I drive 45 minutes to…read moretake her class and many others do the same just because Blondell is that awesome of a teacher. She transformed my curiosity for sewing into a full blown hobby and skill. She not only can teach you everything you need to know to get started making your own wardrobe, but the amount of tricks and tips she can share to make sewing easier or overcome obstacles is priceless! You're not going to get that kind of teaching from a book or a 1 day Joanne Fabrics sewing class. It also helps she is hilarious and we often laugh as we sew. If you really want to learn and grow your skills I highly recommend sassy sewer classes with Blondell!

Everyone I've met there is exceedingly friendly and professional. I had tons of alterations and repairs done there by BJ and I'm so tickled. I picked everything up yesterday-- my pants were hemmed perfectly, and she repaired a family heirloom vintage dress for me in a manner that you couldn't even tell it had been redone. This dress was hard for me to hand off to a stranger because it means a lot to me and she did such a wonderful job. I'm even having her use an old pair of favorite pants to make a pattern to make a couple new pairs. I was shocked how inexpensive it was! If you have sewing needs, this is the place to be.

She previously attended the online classes but there is nothing like in person instruction. They offer classes several days a week and on Saturdays for various age ranges, even for adults. Parents must be present at the door at pick up and drop off so I don't have to worry about my daughter's safety. Supplies are included in the price for newly registered students. That fee is waived for returning students. It's located right on Reisterstown Rd. There is not much street parking but there is a small lot located behind the building. From the front it looks like a house. I am not sure how it looks inside, as I have only been at the front door for check in and pickup.

I would highly recommend this daycare.
