★★★★★Guinevere DonerMr. D’s has been an absolutely wonderful experience for our 10-year-old son, who has attended the after-school program this past fall and summer camp for several years. From the moment we joined, it was clear that this is a truly special place—one that nurtures creativity, confidence, and a genuine love of the arts. We couldn’t recommend Mr. D’s more highly to any family looking for an exceptional and inclusive afterschool or summer camp program.
★★★★★Gale WichmannMy daughter and many of her friends have gone to this camp for the last several years. They love it. It's a special camp that's fun and no pressure. Lots of art, signing, dancing, and some skits. Every week is a new theme and performance to practice for. I highly recommend it. The owners are super nice and it's like a big family.
★★★★★Victor TancrediThe only camp my kids have asked for seconds 😁 We ended signing them up for two sessions the same summer because they loved it so much. The children learn songs, sing and dance and do little plays. They learn to break through shyness and express themselves. A great experience. Highly worth it.
★★★★★Sarah GuyMr. D's Music Club is an amazing camp! Mr. D and his crew create a wonderful space where the kids get to absolutely be themselves and explore music, art, theater and dance. I love how the emphasis is on having fun and trying out new things! I can't recommend this camp enough! My daughter came home every day saying "I love Mr. D's!"
★★★★★Justin GuevaraMy coworker told me about Mr. D’s camp for years and I booked my 9 year daughter for 3 weeks. After the first week she love the camp so much that we added a 4th week. Mr. D’s camp is magic. You can tell that the instructors really care about providing the a safe and fun environment while enjoying singing, acting, dancing and art. Somehow in a week, Mr. D and instructors put together a full hour or so show with the kids singing 9-10 songs, dancing 2 numbers, acting 2 short plays and the stage decorated with the art projects that the campers made during the week. Mr. D has a very calm presence that encourages the kids to gain confidence and all the kids have fun. My daughter has always loved music and singing but has been shy to sing around others. This camp has built confidence in not only her ability to stand on stage and sing/ perform in front of an audience ( the end of the week performance has at anytime more than 50 friends and family watching) but we have noticed she is more outgoing in life. This is also the first camp that my daughter has said that she didn’t have anyone be mean to her or witness a camper being mean to another person. Everyone seems to rally together, have fun and really care about one another. It’s encouraging to see and I credit each one on Mr. D’s staff in providing the tools to make this camp wonderful.
