We did the general $30 group lecture where Joyce goes over the process in detail: what do the tiers mean? What does Ed Opt mean? How to interpret lottery numbers? How to build a solid list? It gave us a roadmap for where to begin and what to consider but more importantly, how to stay calm and focused throughout the process so we could distill the noise and get through it. I'm so grateful for her straight-forward, no-nonsense approach. It was a big help during a crazy time!

Last year I had to opportunity to visit the camp. I figured it would be a great opportuniy to leave the city on a hot summer day and get some fresh air. Upon arrival I saw bikes for the campers to ride and a horse. The most beautiful part of the camp is the endless lake. There are boats for the children to row and a clean lake. I didnt have a chance to eat in the dinning hall but there was a beautiful rustic fire place. As a native New York city kid I wish I was able to attened a camp like this in my youth. I feel it would have exposed me to another world we dont see in the hustle and bustle of the boroughs. However I've learned that this organization continues to have many social events throughtout that city that allows anyone to partake.

My daughter is in her fourth year at Trailblazers and she loves it!!!…read moreShe has fun being outdoors all day, loves the city trips and visiting the NJ sleep away camp. The staff is accommodating and friendly. Every year they keep improving on the system which speaks volumes about how they are reassessing their system each year to make the camp a better experience every year. I feel safe leaving my daughter in their hands. I truly appreciate the tier payment system since it makes the camp affordable everyone...at times when you earn less you pay less and when you earn more you pay it forward by paying more so a less fortunate family can also attend. The camp is diverse and the counselors are polite and kind to the children. Highly recommend.

A friend and I signed up for Jessie's Hand Embroidered Felt Holiday Ornaments class on a Saturday,…read moreand it was SO fun. We can't wait to be back. The 2 hours whizzed by, and Jessie was really friendly and great and giving and showing instructions. She was also very patient with students' questions. The ornaments ended up being so cute from everyone, we were all thoroughly impressed by everyone's work. A lot of us, including me, didn't finish the entire project during class, so we got to take home the supplies we'd need to finish at home. Jessie made sure we had the supplies and knowledge/skills so that we'd succeed at home with finishing up. The studio is nice and cozy, there were about 16 participants of mixed genders and ages. It was really fun, and we can't wait to try more classes!

I recently took a goat milk soap making class here and overall had an enjoyable experience. The…read moreinstructor was very knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely kind, which made the class welcoming and easy to follow. That said, there were a few organizational issues that took away from the experience. The class started late because the instructor chose to wait and see if more people would trickle in, which felt disrespectful to those of us who arrived on time. I also wish there had been clearer communication beforehand about supplies. We weren't told that we could bring our own molds, and the only molds provided were small condiment containers, which resulted in some pretty awkward and unattractive soap shapes. Better molds or advance notice would have made a big difference. It also would have been helpful if instructions or an overview of the process had been emailed ahead of time or posted on the class listing so participants knew what to expect. Additionally, a few of the soap mix-ins were unavailable. This wasn't a major issue, but it did add to the impression that the class was a bit underprepared. Overall, I still enjoyed the class and learned a lot, thanks largely to the instructor's expertise and friendliness. With better preparation and clearer communication for students, this could easily be a great experience rather than just a good one.

Kim's Kids Summer Camp is a fun, flexible, earnest camp that engages the campers while giving them…read morethe freedom to be themselves. I know many people who have sent their kids there (and one of my best friends went to Kim's when he was a kid--he's 29 years old now. He loved it!) . All the kids rave about it. My son has already told me that he wants to go back again for next year. He says it's the best camp. The staff are wholesome and down to earth. The camp has so many fun activities and adventures--without wearing down the campers. The camp is super chill and relaxed yet maintaining campers' safety and protection. Another great thing is the intimacy of the camp director and staff. They really get to know us and they are super approachable and down to earth. They do not have any pretension or arrogance. They're the real-deal. And they take such good care of their staff. I am a union organizer--so I look at these sort of things. I can tell that they are always looking out for the campers AND the staff. I am touched by the support that the administration offers to the staff. I love the staff. They're all fascinating individuals who really love the campers. We are so grateful that we have an opportunity to send our son to such a fabulous space. We will be surely sending our son there again. The camp is super flexible. For instance, I have summer Fridays so I send my son there for 4 days instead of 5. It's great to be able to save that kind of money The camp (Sandra) sends out an email with updates about the plans for the following day with instructions etc. Sandra is very responsive to emails and offers personalized care. She was very empathetic and flexible to me when I had a miscarriage while I was registering my son for camp. That sort of care is immeasurable. In addition, every morning--the adorable Camp Director Dan gives us an update. Dan is awesome. He's like a real new yorker. He's been doing this camp for 30+ years. He says that he has basically made a camp that he wished he had when he was a kid. My son loves Dan's stories...actually all kids' love Dan's stories. He is amazing.

We were looking for a camp that takes the kid to all those places we can't because we're working or we're too tired to drive there. Each day in Kim's Kids is a day trip in a bus to the beach, pool, bowling alley, aquarium, ice skating ring, and so on. It's affordable and they take good care of the children. It's a great feeling when you think about your child having a blast while you're in a zoom meeting. And then during the weekend you don't feel bad if you just want to stay home and relax because your child already went to the beach, the pool and all the fun places!
