Although we have great appreciation for the arts, I want to start by saying, we have never…read moreexperienced musical theater/performing arts camps or schools before this. We were recommended by someone we know that went through their summer camps and spoke very highly of AAFK. I was definitely nervous in the beginning because we didn't know what to expect and we're also protective as well (as many are too). All of my questions were answered when I texted them and as we got closer to the start date, a detailed and waiver were also sent out outlining all of the information. Signed up for Wicked Part 2 and K-Pop Demon Hunters. I can't express enough on what a positive experience it was. We were in awe what the students were able to do in less than a week! Incredible!!!! The lighting, the sound, the stage, the props, and costumes brought everything life! How exciting it was for students to see the inner workings of theater and all of the magic and hard work behind the scene. To top it off, it took place at an actual theater, which made it official and exciting. Mr. David, his assistants, and the theater staff were all wonderful. Mr. David is charismatic, fun, silly, and knowledgeable, yet can also be serious with the students when needed as well. We loved how he added life lessons and teachings where he could in a way that came across as a casual conversation. It really stuck with my student; we appreciate it. Love how he can switch to a different voice when interacting with the students and adults. He knows how to communicate effectively, yet also encouraging and motivates the students as well. Yes, if you go to the Newport Beach location, there is a tree and rolling hill in the front. As much as it's the staff's responsibility to keep your students safe, it's also your responsibility as parents to talk and explain to your children what you expect of them and decorum when you are not there. The same goes for what parts they get in the show. Before attending, we had a conversation about not getting certain roles we may want and how to process and deal with that. It doesn't take away from the experience if you prepare your students ahead of time. Skills my student learned after two weeks: Following through and not giving up even when things get challenging, believing in yourself, be and do your best no matter what, being a team player--by helping others, taking ownership and responsibility for the role you get, and understand that things can happen on and off stage--dust yourselves off, but the show must go on!!! Most importantly, TO HAVE FUN! Will definitely back!!!! We hope they will offer Hamilton and Wicked Part 1 later on in the summer next year!

I think it's a great resource to have, a safe place for kids to hang out and learn something without screens. Even in school now with the use of iPads, kids don't use their hands and they don't interact like they used to. This is face to face interaction, learning to make friends with kids you don't know and just having educational fun.

Every summer, they look forward to attending and always come home excited about what they've learned. The instructors are not only passionate about teaching but also incredibly kind and encouraging. Strategic Kids has been such a positive influence in my children's growth and love for chess. I truly hope we can continue the summer program for many years to come!

I enrolled my daughter in the Parent & Me classes when she was 12 months old. Honestly, I was…read moreskeptical about how much she would really learn at such a young age. I figured we might stick with it a month or two and then move on if I couldn't see measurable results. Over four months into classes my daughter is thriving in the water thanks to Evolution Swim Academy and her fabulous instructor, Jack. Here are a few things I loved about my experience with Evolution this summer: 1. Jack took time to learn my daughter's name and her favorite parts of different activities/songs. Even though she is too young to really communicate with him much he really saw her as a person and wanted to make sure she was getting the most out of her experience. I love that. 2. When my daughter progressed to a point in her back floating that was more advanced than many of the other kids in her class, Jack still took the time to show my husband what to do next and he made sure my daughter wasn't being held back by other classmates who were younger or newer than she was. 3. Jack had a tremendous amount of patience with crying children and he offered parents real encouragement by sharing his own story of how he was afraid of the water as a baby and went on to become a competitive swimmer, water polo player and lifeguard. While I wasn't so sure about Parent & Me classes a few months ago, I am completely sold on the value of this class now. Evolution Swim Academy has exceeded my expectations. Even their littlest swimmers get personalized attention. My daughter will be back next summer--and I hope Jack will be too. Thank you Evolution and thank you Jack!

Having the options to swim and fish on top of crafts and activities is a fantastic way to spend the summer for him. As a parent, I appreciate the longer than traditional summer camp hours compared to most summer camp programs that end mid day or later afternoon. The schedule here works best for my work schedule while letting my child feel like he was at a fun camp instead of at the school TLC program on school campus. When summer concludes all he talks about is how he misses it or how he can't wait for summer to come again. Added perk is using the snack shack as a lesson in budgeting and money management for him over the summer!!!! The staff is great and I highly recommend enrolling your child.

Our…read morechildren would come home each day reporting that another child had hit them, pushed thier face in the sand or sprayed them with sun block, among other problems. When our children reported the bullying behavior to the counselor, they would take no action. When one of our sons had their own behaviorial issue, Ms. Sylvia called my wife at work to pick him up. Because my wife took over an hour to get to the location (she was in a meeting at the time and had to commute), Ms Sylvia decided (as retaliation towards my wife for "taking too long") to suspend our child the following day. When we asked Ms. Sylvia for a full refund for the day she was not allowing our child to attend camp, she refused despite Campco terms that provide if Campco cancels camp for a child, it will issue a full refund. If you have young kids, I would stay away from this place and Ms. Sylvia!
