"My son REALLY enjoyed this week. I was extremely impressed with the program, as well. I feel that the instructors were very knowledgeable, responsible and FUN. The week was VERY well planned and executed. The instructors made it fun for the kids. They were knowledgeable about both content and keeping the kids 'in line'."
