Needless to say, we weren't sure if he was going to be able to handle camp, let alone Steve & Kate's. Turns out he had a fantastic summer. It's easy to pinpoint the reason too: Janelle, the camp director, and her incredible staff. We really weren't expecting any accommodations, but/and Jenelle and all the counselors quickly realized what my son needed, put some changes in place for him, and connected with him in an amazing way. My son was so happy and he learned that he can fun with less structure, be safe with new people, and make new friends. I'm gushing, I know, but this summer was super-special and I couldn't let it go unnoted.

In 3 weeks at the camp, a child called my child "brown", another child threw pizza at her after she…read moredefended herself from his verbal attacks, another child grabbed her by the wrist. Thank God my child has a strong sense of self and knows how to verbally and physically defend herself. With that being said, this is not how I want her to spend her summer. Summer camp should be a place where a child relaxes, and not where she develops defensive techniques from verbal and physical attacks. Stay AWAY!!! To the parents of these bullies, DO BETTER. These types of behavior are learned and fostered at home. Update: I met with the Director and Associate Director of the program and they informed me that 2/3 kids that were involved in the incidences were expelled. The last child was 4 year olds and not fully aware of what he was doing. I was happy that the administration did not dismiss what was going on and acted swiftly.

I cannot say enough amazing things about the Tate Academy, its teaching staff, and the amazing…read moreTabitha Boulding. This school is more than "just dance." Tabitha is dedicated and caring and teaches her students the bigger picture... that being a good human is more important than any trophy. My child could not do one turn or jump when she started at Tate 1 year ago and she just completed her first season placing in the top 5 at Nationals! This would never happen if not for the dedication and patience of the teaching staff and Tabitha. Also this school is truly a family with amazing kids who respect, care for, and help each other. I am proud my daughter is a Tate dancer !!

You can sit down and try out as many typewriters as you like, and the whole vibe is a mix of bookstore and coffeehouse: like Barnes & Noble, but for typewriters. Karin's energy is absolutely infectious, and her in-house mechanic Gerald is a blast as well. I ended up dividing my time between the storefront and the work/storage area; honestly, one could spend just as much time in either section. I would have stuck around even longer, but I'd actually forgotten to have lunch, I was so enthralled! This is a fresh operation, and I'm excited to see where it goes as we move towards the warmer months. Would love to see it brimming with people.
