You are missing out if you send your kids elsewhere. We have tried other coding classes but being…read moreone of few girls in class, my kids didn't work well with other teaching styles and felt really discouraged. We are excited to have found all the fun courses offered at Code Wiz. Every day my kids would come home excitedly talking about all the commands they learned and how many assignments they are able to get through and debug, with pride. Not only that, they have a social, stress free and fun environment where they take short breaks and play games together. Overall they have an engaging teaching environment and well managed equipment and curriculum. They offer 3D printing classes, Python coding, website building, Java, and many others. They genuinely all sound so cool and fun that I wish they offered adult classes (no joke). We're looking forward to signing up for more courses and so pleased to have found this place. The instructors are amazing and so is the director (who is impressively reachable and seems to answer calls and e-mails night and day). They also have a parking lot for easy drop off and pickup so that is a plus!

His teachers have been incredibly positive and so encouraging. Aside from providing lifelong skills, Code Wiz has helped my son develop self-confidence in his abilities. Great classes, welcoming environment, generous community. I highly recommend.

My daughter attended camp here this summer and had an amazing time. It was pretty straightforward -…read morethey just sewed all day except lunch when they could get pizza next door (or bring from home). Kiddo felt comfortable and well cared for. It was definitely different from other camps - ages ranged from 6-14 and everyone was together just working at their own level in the same space. She loved it because she met some girls she liked and I guess spent the entire time chatting! That said, she learned how to sew and made great bags, a dog leash, two mermaid skirts for American Girl dolls and had a lot of fun. There was only one boy - I'm going to try to convince my son to go next summer. I think if you're a kid who wants to run around you'll be miserable here, but if you're into craft, this camp is perfect.

I was impressed by their selection of print patterns (not just for knitting and crochet, but all kinds of fiber arts), buttons, and of course, yarn.

Arlekin Acting Studio is the place I was looking for for a long time. I'm happy to be a part of…read morethis amazing and fun studio. I had a chance to take an acting class last year at the studio; over two semesters I've already learned so much! I'm looking forward to remaining engaged with Arlekin and continuing to sharpen my acting skills. Igor Golyak shares his knowledge and experience with each student in a manner that best resonates with him or her. He is able to balance two characteristics of a great director: a seriousness of purpose with high demands from his actors and patience to bring his students along the long path to acting mastery. After becoming part of this troupe, it feels like a second home. I recommend it to everyone who loves acting and theater production.

I've been a member at Artisan's Asylum since 2017, and it's been one of the most meaningful…read morecreative communities I've been part of. I started out pretty tentatively, just learning and exploring. Over time, I got more involved and eventually became the laser shop lead for four years. That experience opened the door for me to build a small business creating bamboo candle lanterns and piggy banks--something I never would have been able to do on my own without access to the tools and support there. That's really what makes a makerspace like this so special. You get access to equipment that would be wildly expensive (and impractical) to own yourself, and you're surrounded by people who are both learning and generously sharing what they know. A recent moment really drove that home for me. I needed to test out my tent system for an upcoming show, but the weather outside was terrible. I was able to set everything up in the common space and run a full test. Honestly--such a small thing, but incredibly helpful, and exactly the kind of flexibility that makes this place so valuable. These days, my focus has shifted to painting, and having studio space at the Asylum has been just as important for this next chapter. I have the room I need to work in encaustic, lay out panels, prep surfaces, and wrap finished pieces for transport. The shared spaces make all of that possible in a way that would be hard to replicate anywhere else. It's a welcoming, diverse environment with something for everyone--whether you're just curious or looking to build something serious. If you've ever thought about trying something new, take a class and see where it leads. You might surprise yourself. Time to get creative.
