Charles Joshua and Lenny were awesome instructors. It gave me confidence that if I was in a survival situation I could survive with very little for prolonged periods of time. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a very challenging week in a wild. They say on the website be ready to suffer and they aren't kidding. It's not for the weak. When you finish, you feel like you walk a little taller.

I expected a hardcore, intense experience with instructors/ drill sergeants that may get mad for asking too many questions and send me out in the wild to fend for myself. That is not what I got (thankfully!). I was met with instructors approachable, eager to teacher, flexible, offering a wealth of knowledge, and genuinely great personalities. Not once did I feel I was a burden despite asking a bunch of questions, actually I was further encouraged. Both water and food were provided as well, as stated. Far from funding for yourself. That said I did walk away with a wealth of knowledge providing me with a greater confidence in a wilderness survival situation if I were to encounter one. We covered shelter making, several ways of fire making, several ways of water purification and collection, and most importantly (I think) preparedness to prevent getting yourself in a survival situation in the first place. For the 3-day course, wilderness 1st aid was also covered. I've been CPR certified for well over a decade. Prior knowledge helped, but wilderness is another ball of wax I came to learn and respect. All in all, great experience

From the age of 3 my son has showed a fascination for video games. As of recent, to my delight, he…read morehas shown interest in the creation of video games (coding). In order to assess his level of interest, I downloaded the trial version of an iPhone game/app called Code Spark Academy. This app allows the user to create the intricate details (levels, rewards, etc.) of a game and then play the game. During this time I noticed that his traditional games and even television shows were put on the backburner. While driving through Elk Grove I noticed a new (at least new to me) establishment called Code Ninjas. I immediately found their website and saw that they offered a coding camp based on the popular platform Roblox. Thankfully, the class was being offered on a day that fell within my son's holiday break. Before registering my son for the class, I ran it by him and he enthusiastically said "YES!" After submitting the payment information, I received a welcome packet from Code Ninjas (outlining the facility rules) that I quickly completed and submitted. The morning of the camp I packed a lunch for my son (Code Ninjas does not provide lunch), and we hit the road! After being warmly greeted by the employee at the front desk, I signed in my son, kissed him, and sent him off to explore the world of coding! When I arrived to pick him up, he did not want to leave. Aside from putting the finishing touches on the game that he created for Roblox, he was "networking" with his fellow coding camp buddies. During our ride home, he could not stop talking about the coding camp. He explained to me in detail the game that he created and that his game was saved so that he could resume the modification of the game upon a return visit. I highly recommend Code Ninjas for any parent that has a child that expresses interest in coding. Yes it is a bit pricey ($89 for the coding camp), but it will definitely pay off (literally) in your child's future! I am already planning on registering my son for the Minecraft Coding Workshop. Thank you Code Ninjas!

What a cool place! I wish there was something like this when I was a kid. All the children were…read morehaving a great time, they were fully engaged and it was great watching them learn how to create something they love. I wish there were more places to take the kids that teach them fun, hands on, real world skills. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this if you are a parent that has a child always wanting to play video games/Fortnite and can't pull them away from the screen! This will definitely make them appreciate all that goes into developing a game. I can't speak much to this part, but it even looks like they have a camp that teaches how to code drones that they can fly around.

I had a last minute appointment and needed alterations to a pair of pants completed in less than a…read moreweek. Doing a quick Yelp search, CJ Sewing popped up as one of the top rated alterations establishments in Elk Grove. I immediately scheduled an appointment for the following day. Since I was in such a frenzy, I totally overlooked the instructions in Ms. Jackson's (business owner) appointment confirmation email (the email states that you should bring a long sleeve shirt, a belt, and dress shoes if you're having a suit altered). When I showed up to the establishment, I was warmly greeted by Ms. Jackson and her cute furry friend- Sir Winston. As fate would have it, my suit jacket did not require altering; therefore, the belt and dress shoes that I had on were sufficient. Ms. Jackson is definitely a wealth of knowledge and respectfully shared with me that the slim fit suit pants that I had were not appropriate for my athletic build (slim waist & thick quads). However, she walked me through the alterations that she would make that would complement my physique. On the expected pickup date, Ms. Jackson informed me that she would need additional time and could drop the pants off to me later that afternoon . This was not a problem considering that I dropped the pants off at the last minute. Also, I really appreciated her communication. As promised, Ms. Jackson dropped the pants off and they were a perfect fit. Thank you CJ Sewing!

I tried CJ Sewing because of the positive Yelp reviews, but unfortunately my experience was very…read moredifferent. I brought in my maid-of-honor dress for my sister's destination wedding. The color was discontinued, so I asked about adding a corset back and a hem. I was quoted over $375 for those alterations. When I asked about a first-responder discount (because my fiancé is one), she responded by asking whether he was the one with the dress. The comment felt dismissive of the impact first-responder life has on a whole family. I then asked about a graduate-student discount, and she began asking several personal questions about my education. I even offered to show my student ID, to which she said she was "just trying to make conversation" and that she would take $50 off--but the exchange still felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. She scheduled me to return in two weeks for the first fitting, where I would try on the corset and we would mark the hem. However, when I arrived, the corset wasn't completed. She explained she had difficulty finding a matching back panel and ribbon, which I understand since the color was discontinued. What concerned me was that she hadn't sourced materials ahead of time and didn't offer alternative solutions (such as lace) until I prompted her. She even suggested using fabric from the third layer of my dress for the back panel--something that would clearly be visible in photos--and only agreed it wasn't a good idea after I pointed it out. During the first fitting, I also told her that the corset was pinching my back and I didn't like the way it looked. She said nothing and offered no explanation. I later learned that with a corset, you're supposed to shift your back toward the sides to prevent pinching--something she failed to mention, and possibly didn't know. I had also repeatedly struggled with the straps since my first appointment, and instead of offering to re-sew them, she recommended adhesive. When I asked about simply re-stitching them, she hesitated and commented about my "budget," which felt judgmental and unprofessional. She then quoted $40. Because of the missed deadline, lack of proactive solutions, and overall unprofessional communication, I decided not to continue the alterations and returned to pick up my dress. At pickup, I told her I would pay for the work she had completed and compensate her for her time marking the hem. She initially agreed, but then tried to charge me the full cost of the corset--even though it was unfinished. She also tried to charge me for a hem that was never sewn (just pinned). After going back and forth--and telling her I wasn't there to argue--she charged me $25 for the 30 minutes she spent marking the hem and the partial corset work. I ultimately paid $150 for half a corset and pins she removed. Overall, this was a stressful and disappointing experience, and I cannot recommend this business.
