Nothing could be greater than to see children improve on their journey through life and success for a parent. At least that is my opinion anyway. A child with emotional damage should not be forgotten if they start making unhealthy decisions as they get older. So far this facility has proven to be a blessing. I shall keep this updated due to the fact that this voyage has only recently set sail.

School supplies and items for teachers are common as I'm always working on some projects with my own kids and others. From Science experiment stuff to school supplies and more, I always tend to pick up more than I need. Especially notebooks. This is a great place to bring those items and make them available to teachers who can bring that same vibe to there students. I drop off 3-4 times a year and not to long along I was helping a friend clear out a garage and yes, they had a ton of stuff that was perfect for teachers to add to there classroom.

They stated I was assigned to a weekday boot camp 6 weeks out to which I informed them I signed up for weekends because I work so the weekday bootcamp does not work. Please refund my money. I was informed again that they have a no refund policy even though they did not provide the agreed upon service. After 2 months of argument with them I finally contacted my bank for a dispute.

My bank informed me that this was a false statement and they were trying to strong arm me to drop the dispute.

Really, all he did was play videogames for the week. He had a blast, but this wasn't what we signed up for ... for hundreds of dollars. Before you sign up for this camp, BE SURE TO ASK if the kids are learning coding or not. (When I asked one of the teachers on the Friday, at the end of the week, if my son had done any coding, he said, "Well, um ... yeah, not really. He's kind of young.") It is completely AGE DEPENDENT. Never mind if your child knows how to do beginning coding ... if he's not old enough, he'll be playing (and doing minor modifications to) video games. Bummer!
