★★★★★Lorna FIt was a family arts day event. This day, we made a planting pot. I went with my daughter and granddaughter. The staff was friendly. The staff made sure everyone was relaxed by having folks greet one another and mold some clay for some minutes. Then, it was explained how to make the pot before adding various decorative items. The room was comfortable.
★★★★★Vivian DanielsMy daughter attends the summer camp here and she LOVES it!! Very important to me since she usually hates summer camp. Staff is attentive and understanding. I plan to keep her in their programs after camp ends.

★★★★★Tamika JonesWe love their family art day where we are able to be in a safe space with a great staff every 2nd and 4th Saturday. Makes planning activities for our family a no brainer and it's free and snacks are always provided. My kids love it just as much as I do.
