"The school gave us the chance to express our love for the arts while sharing amazing experiences with new friends. The teachers were super-talented and encouraged us to push ourselves. I wish there were more programs like this. It is an experience every kid should have!"

Brittany, USA, Acting

"It was the best summer dance intensive my daughter has ever attended, and it provided the necessary artist’s environment she needed as she explores and makes big life decisions as she enters her senior year in high school. The videos of solo and group dances will be amazing for the college applications! As far as the actual dancing went, she was pushed to her best limits and they helped her explore out of her comfort zone in such a way that she was able to find a different side of herself as a dancer. Thank you for an amazing summer dance experience!"

Christine's Mom, UK, Dance

"Simply stupendous! It is a milestone of a camp that those who wish to enter the art industry MUST experience for themselves. You learn so much about how to direct, operate a camera, write a wonderful story, dance beautifully and take magnificent pictures. Parents are going to have their kids come home with lots of stories and knowledge that will give them a lot of confidence. Simply put, it is AWESOME!! You will not regret a single moment."

Dennis, Hong Kong, Filmmaking

"Thank you so much! The staff was amazing and I'd never heard my son so happy. He called every day and said he was having the time of his life. He really learned so much and also enjoyed every aspect of the program. This was definitely one of the best run programs I've ever encountered and I have an older daughter who's experienced a few others as well and didn't compare to yours. Thank you!"

Chris's Mom, Mexico, Music

"I wanted to thank you for all that you taught me. Last summer was absolutely awesome and I will always remember it as the summer that I made the final decision to pursue photography as a career. I was just accepted to Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT) photojournalism department and I can honestly say that this program is a major reason I am headed in the direction I am now. I have included a picture of myself so that you can see what a leader of tomorrow looks like!"
