Last Summer's
Happy Campers!

We get lots of emails from our families filled with praise for our workshops and staff — words like amazing, memorable, inspiring, exceptional, fabulous, patient and caring. We greatly appreciate these comments and thought you might want to see them too. Here are just a few ...

I wanted to thank you and your staff for a wonderful experience. This was our daughters second summer at Art Camp and it has changed her life. I know that is a strong and overused statement but because of the care and concern of you and your staff, the wonderful variety of classes and the overall positive experience, it is the highlight of the year for her. She is thrilled to be coming back next year as a CIT and will be telling us about it all winter and spring, I am sure!

I wanted to thank you for the enriching and fun camp experience this summer. My daughter loved art camp! We have tried many camps, and she has always complained about attending. But not at the Art Camp, she absolutely loved it and wants to return next year. She also had a blast at the overnight. So thank you so much for your high level of energy and creativity.

Melissa Dorval

You and your staff did a wonderful job this summer in making my daughter Brenna's camp experience so memorable. She is already talking about which classes she wants to take next summer. You all did an outstanding job putting together the "Bowtie Bash" it really showed off the kids creativity and how much fun they had! Thank you for all your dedication in making the Summer Art Academy Brenna's #1 choice for summer camp.

I wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know what a great experience our son had in your program. It was by far the only camp environment in which he really looked forward to going everyday. Thank you and your staff for their energy, curiosity and desire to just have fun. You guys really made camp fun! As we go into the fall school year, we all look back at this summer and wish only that regular school could be this fun. Thank you again and we all look forward to next summer!

Mark Evans

Thank you again for another amazing and memorable summer. We feel so lucky to have found your program and to have had the opportunity to attend again for our third summer. You and your team have created lasting memories and experiences for Jonathan that he will take with him and remember fondly for years to come. See you all again next summer!

Kelly Max

Thank you so much for a wonderful camp experience! My daughter had SO MUCH FUN! She talked about camp every day and was so excited to go to see what the next camp day was going to have in store. She has never had so much fun at any camp. We've done many other camps and each time she has said she doesn't want to go back. She's already saying she wants to go back to your camp next year!

Please pass our thanks to all the counselors, workshop leaders, CITs and CLs for the amazing job they did at the sleepover. The kids I know all had a fabulous time and I can't believe how hard your crew worked. Yet they always kept a sunny attitude. They also did a wonderful job of providing comfort to some of the younger ones - like ours - when they started missing their moms and dads. Just when we think the Summer Art Academy can't get any better, it does! Thanks again.

Ellen Remillong

We wanted to thank you and the rest of the wonderful counselors and staff at Summer Art Academy for providing a fun, warm and supportive atmosphere for our son. He had a hard fourth grade year in school due to a teacher who was neither warm nor patient with him. We noticed that he left fourth grade with his self esteem depleted. This summer through your program we have seen him shine again. He made so many friends this summer and is already talking about coming back next summer. Thank you again for what you do and for hiring such a wonderful group of people who really understand kids and make them feel great about themselves. We look forward to seeing you guys again soon.!

Leslie and Bruce Rasmussen

Thank you for the wonderful summer camp experience for Lauren this year. She had a blast! If she had her wish, she would be going to the Art Camp all year long! Thank you for providing such fun and safe environment for the kids.

Maria Finkelman

My daughter attends many different camps during the summer months but your camp is her absolute favorite (her 3rd or 4th year of attendance)! She's told me that she hopes to one day be a "C.I.T" at camp. Lauren is already planning on which classes she'll take next summer! I must say that of all the classes she took this summer, she wouldn't stop talking about "Yoga" (she's now teaching both her dad & I some moves) and "Cards, Cuts & Mind Reading" (I'm amazed at some of the tricks she learned).

Carolyn Crittenden

My daughter, Natalie, truly had a fantastic, fun, enriching experience!! We were so impressed with everything -- your organization and attention to every detail, the quality of the teachers, the breadth of the curriculum. This was our first summer and we will definitely be back next year. Thank you so much, from the bottom of our hearts.

The Hampton Family

I can't say enough great things about your camp, the organization and the choices of the classes. This was our 2nd year and my kids are already talking about doing Art Camp again next summer and the workshops they want to take. All their teachers were so friendly and the classes were so entertaining and informative for their age. We'll be back!
