My ten year old daughter just finished her first day at the UES location and she had a blast! She…read moreespecially loved the freedom she had to choose her own activities. "It was so cool that when I finished lunch I could go do whatever I wanted, I didn't have to follow a group like in other camps." Her favorites were the giant slip and slide, the film studio, and the game show at the end of the day. She also liked how she could always go get a snack from the counselor in the cafe whenever she was hungry. "There was fruit and goldfish and homemade yogurt things. It was great!" The setup of this camp allows children to really take ownership of their day, from what they choose to play, to when they eat a snack, to who they spend their time with. It is a very unique idea for a NYC camp, and it was the perfect place for my daughter. She can't wait to go back!

I don't know about the other locations, but I think the person who runs this location (Mike) really goes above & beyond! My daughter loves all the activities and the counselors are all great. I've spoken to a bunch and they all seem to be college seniors or work in education (not the teenagers that some other camps seem to have). We didn't know what to expect since I couldn't find any reviews and didn't know too many people who went last year, but this has truly exceeded all of our expectations!

My teen attended the summer camp and had fun with the other campers. We traveled from out of town…read moreand stayed in a hotel for the week as a special experience for her. One of the days my daughter stated that she kept asking for help and was ignored by the teachers for over an hour. I double checked the class to confirm it stated all levels of sewing experience and it does, to include beginners. While my child has experience sewing for 10+ years and previous sew camps, it is my expectation that if she asked for help, she would not be ignored. On the last day, my teen was unable to put the dress she had sewed on as they forget to include a zipper in the pattern. She stated that she mentioned multiple times that week, what about the zipper, and was ignored. She bought a zipper on their field trip and my understanding is it was the teacher's responsibility to help create a pattern (i.e. include a zipper). My daughter's dress was ripped - she ended up crying before the fashion shoot as the straps were ripped as were the sides. A floor length dress made out of satin is impossible to put over your head, without a zipper. My daughter felt as if she was being gas lighted by one of the teachers when the other teacher realized the mistake as they tried to figure out how to get the dress on her, pin it with safety pins, etc. and the teacher blamed it on my child stating she never asked for a zipper. My daughter didn't want me to reach out but I met the owner and thought she was nice and figured she had no clue what transpired and she would want to learn from this so the team could improve. I reached out the next week, left a voice mail and never received a call back. I specifically stated I wanted to speak to the owner, listed her name and shared my number and that I wanted to share some feedback from the teen camp. What could have been an amazing experience ended really poorly with a bad taste. While my daughter had fun, she should have left with a dress that wasn't ripped and for $900 I would expect the teachers to make sure the dress was actually functionable and that the child would leave with a completed product that works. If the class states all levels, someone should have made sure this dress had a zipper and my child didn't leave with a dress ripped on both sides and the top. Very disappointing.

While I understand that, as a parent, your child's performance may be the only evidence that your money is being put to use....I ask the parents this: is it healthy? Is your child really learning music, or just the act of it? I have seen students i.e. customers getting physically sick over the performance aspect of the school's programs, and some simply dropped out due to the pressure. I assume the school's focus on performance is in part driven by the parents, that's why I've chosen to address them in my critique. I, as a student/customer, find the staff/school's performance-directed initiatives to be counter-productive in learning music and unhealthy.
