And they refused to accept all of my emails, even though they were very important to me.

This review is for a summer camp, for younger kids. I was really disappointed given the high price…read morepoint for the camp (it was more expensive than any other camp we did this whole summer). It was supposed to start at 9:30am, but they sometimes took the kids back a whole 30 minutes late. Given again how much we're paying, this makes no sense. Also was super disappointed that they would play multiple movies each day in the background while the kids were working. It's not necessary at all, and some of the movies my son described weren't appropriate. We wouldn't do this camp again.

My co-founder signed our small business up for a business accelerator run by the Dojo. I was a bit…read moreskeptical, but I ended up really enjoying the experience. The accelerator had a wonderful sense of camaraderie and was a supportive environment in which to learn business essentials, and to learn from each other. Outside the accelerator program, the Dojo is a really friendly, grass-roots environment in which people can hang out, do work, and share ideas, and the people in charge of it are very passionate about it. (As an example of it being a friendly place, one of the regulars there impromptu-shared delicious bacon sandwiches that he had just barbequed.) I've grown very fond of it.

It has a huge completely skylit ceiling over their cute cafe. The coffee is freshly brewed each day although there is no espresso machine so if you're into a tripple-machiatto-half-caf-no-soy-free-range-latte you might want to look elsewhere. It can be difficult to find technology training that doesn't leave you drooling and half-asleep 5 minutes into the powerpoint. I'm sure many of you have gone to a training where you're excited to be there, you get started, and then CRASH ... your mind begins to wander, you start to wonder why you came. The trainers are friendly, the clases are dirt cheap, and you'll have to visit to see why it's DEFINITELY worth your time. Will be back for sure ...

I received a glass flameworking class as a surprise for Christmas, paid for, with the option for me to move it to a number of dates. I chose the March 8th date. It's been THREE MONTHS of multiple calls, voicemails, and emails per week to The Crucible. We have gotten ONE single response the entire time: something to the effect of "so sorry we dropped the ball - we'll get back to you," then.... nothing. None of our calls or emails or voicemails have been returned. The March class date has now passed, and not a single offer of a refund or a reschedule. We're doing a chargeback, which we really hate to do since it's so detrimental to the business, but... if it weren't for all these other reviews I'd wonder if this place even exists? Three full months of effort on our end and not a single useful human answer?Hoping this review plus the chargeback gets us some sort of resolution.
