I contacted the owners, Terri and Sarah, and they were so incredibly gracious! They invited me over to check out the space. I really like the layout of this art studio because it's divided into different sections/rooms. One room would be where the kids do their sketching, and then another room is where the kids would take their sketching to go paint. The third room is where you can put all the food for your party and they have an awesome patio area that's right next to the food room where parents can also hang out while the kids can sketch and paint for the instructor in the other rooms. There were 19 kids total and it was so nice not to have the parents stand behind their kiddos the entire time to watch them paint because there's no where to go!! All of the parents told me they had NO IDEA this place existed. Because it's on Artesia , which is quite a busy street that people take to get from one place to the next it's really not the kind of place that people stroll around on. Sarah and Terri will work with you on what kind of theme/ sketch to guide the kids. It was an amazing party! Everyone loved it! And my daughter said it was the best birthday ever! Yay! Success! If you're planning a birthday for your little one! BOOK THIS PLACE!!! Cheers!!

My two children attended camp at SBAD for one week during the summer. My biggest regret was not…read morebooking more weeks. My son, aged 5 (who I was worried wouldn't be able to sit still), learnt so much about different artistic methods. SBAD focus on a different topic/theme each day so the children have plenty of time to be creative and really think about what they would like to make. My daughter, aged 7 loved going each day and came home with some stunning pieces of art. She also LOVED the teachers who are not only skilled artistically, but are genuinely kind people who make all the children feel welcome and at home. This is the only camp (ever!) that my son and daughter have attended and been very grumpy that I only booked one week! Needless to say, we will be returning for the Thanksgiving camp!

I just signed her up for this Summer today, and got $100 off Early Bird Special! (: If your kids are into Coding, Robotics, or Gaming, like Minecraft and Roblox, they will absolutely love, love, Planet Bravo Camp!

If you are looking into Summer Camps with substance, definitely consider your kiddos signing up with Planet Bravo.

We have been going here about 3 years and couldn't be happier! They opened another location in…read moreRedondo Beach off Inglewood Ave and Manhattan Beach Blvd. We went to the open house and all I can say is WOW incredible place. Our heart will always be in the Torrance location though. Teachers are fantastic, caring, the restrooms are clean the entire place is clean, air conditioned doesn't have that "GYM" smell, oh you know what I am talking about. Class sizes have not changed so other post talking about classes getting to large is strange. Parking is not easy, the place is packed during the week. There is a reason for that because its the place to be! Weekend classes are much lighter. We love our Aerial Gymnastics Club and so do so many others which is why its so popular. We couldn't be happier AGC Family and proud to be!

I'm often blocked in by other cars, and people get frustrated about not finding a spot or can't get out of one and start saying rude things or making rude gestures. Makeup class tokens never expire but it's difficult to even find an opening for makeup classes since classes are full.

Last summer was the first year that my son attended this camp. A good friend of mine recommended it…read moreto me since my son loves doing interactive experiments and seeing how things work. Without knowing anything about the camp and going just based on my friend's rec, I signed my (then) 6 year old son for all 4 themed weeks. The first day, I asked him how his day was and his response was, "I love Galileo!" This continued on until the last day of camp. He loved it so much that he made me promise I would sign him up again the following year. Throughout the school year, I kid you not, he would randomly ask me when I would sign him up for Galileo. Once, January came around, I had no excuse, I signed him up and we are all set for the summer! He is so excited and the fact that this year, it'll be at Montemalaga Elem will make the commute much more easier! I loved how all the teachers and staff were so attentive and always interacting with the children. Even at morning drop off, it would be strange if you didn't see someone dressed up in a funny costume to welcome your little ones and take them over the thresh hold into the magical land of Galileo (it was actually an alley with paper streamers...but the kids loved it)! Each week they would work on a theme and continue working on it, until Friday-the day the kids present all their hard work and show it off to the parents. Prepare to go to pick up on Fridays with an empty trunk. You'll definitely need all the space to take home the towers and models they've built! My son loved it and if he's begging me to sign him up all school year long... Galileo is doing something right! You won't be disappoint!

My older son attended this camp last summer -- he loved it!! We'll be doing it again this summer,…read moreand here's why: 1. This is the only camp he has ever asked to add a week. 2. The staff are very professional -- not a bunch of teenagers pretending to know how to interact with kids. 3. Every morning the kids enter the camp in such a fun, positive way -- starts the day off right. 4. The kids get to do art, science/engineering, and physical activities, and they get to work on their projects the whole week, then present them on Friday. They feel very good about their projects! Thanks, Galileo!

After spending some time at some other camps this summer, I am now realizing how unusual it is for…read morethis camp to have consistent staff for the entire summer duration, if not for many years sequentially. This explains the highly experienced counselors, undoubtedly trained by Heather and Adam the owners. Some of the other camps in the area seem to have "on call" staff depending on the volume of drop in kids, which I found problematic because my kids could not identify regular staff to approach with questions and found themselves disoriented initially. This is what happens when companies exploit workers instead of seeing them as crucial childcare providers. The price difference at these other camps is not worth the inconsistent staffing or burnout amongst the employees about having unreliable work hours.

One of the greatest outcomes of Covid - PBC Camp! We really needed to put K in something since…read morehaving her home for a year. This camp came up in my "South Bay Summer Camps" Google Search, and I did not look back. I happened to book PBC on their last day of early enrollment. The staff was accommodating towards my hesitation towards booking my 4 yo. They answered every email promptly, and were extremely helpful with their information before camp started. Here are my takeaways from our first year of PBC Summer Camp: You book everything through their online portal. The portal is set-up so that you can enroll your child(ren) all in one shot. You pick the weeks that you want to attend, and they have an option to add or remove weeks. (You cannot remove a week once you've paid for it. I assume.) There is an optional lunch program that you can get as well. The food is delivered by Kelly's Corner, and the menu is provided a few weeks before camp starts. There is a Summer Camp handbook that spells out everything for you. It is emailed a few weeks before camp starts. The information is neither overwhelming, nor leaves you with additional questions. I actually appreciated the simple wording, and straight-forward handbook. Before each week, PBC sends a simple 2 page email with drop-off and pick-up reminders and any updates that are warranted. Sometimes there is a piece of paper that they give you at carpool that reminds you of the spirit weeks, but other than that, there is very minimal email correspondence that you need to keep up with - which I greatly appreciate. The themed weeks are awesome! Last week, was pirate week. They had a huge pirate ship bounce house for the kids, and the costumes were fabulous. There are dress-up days every Wednesday and Friday, and the campers and counselors get into character. Each week is truly memorable for the campers. My child gets in the car every single day at pick-up and talks about a game that she learned, a new song, or a friend that she played with. I am pretty sure that my shy quarantine child still has not said a word to anybody, but I do believe that she is starting to come out of her shell. Regardless, she is really having the best time ever! K plays so hard that she tries to keep the fun going at home. We have learned the rules of "What time is it Mr. Fox?" and apparently there is a blue monster in "Red Light, Green Light." K asks every single morning how much longer until we leave for camp. She truly loves to attend, and wants to go every day. This 4 yo is easy-going and chill. Drop-off and pick-up was simple and seamless since Day 1. The greatest part for me, is the extended alone time, since K comes home and walks herself into her room for a nap. One of the directors, Heather, greets every single car at pick-up and drop-off, and you can tell that she truly cares about the campers. Based on my conversation with her, this is their first time at RHP. If they happen to go back to their old location, we may be devastated by the 'longer' commute. (VERY short commute right now. Hah!) Our hope is that RHP has a pool, and they continue to let PBC use their campus for years to come. It is a great set-up, and the carpool line is always a joy. We look forward to spending the rest of the Summer with PBC, and it has been such a great stepping stone in our goal to reacclimate K to a structured school setting other than Mama School. PBC, thank you! We are grateful for the fun that you have provided to the community. (Posted from MamaGooLiving.com)
