#FridayFive: 5 Things Parents are Saying About our Summer Camps!

We are on week four of summer camps and our students are having a blast! Hear what parents are saying about Encore camps:

#1 – “Our son adored this camp. I’ve never seen him so excited or engaged with any other camp. He came home energized, wanted to rehearse in the evenings – he loved it.”

#2 – “[My daughter] loved the freedom to create her own performance with her peers….the choreographed group dance at the end of the show was also a favorite.”

#3 – “[My children] had a lot of fun and talked about the daily games and friendship of the other kids. [My son] liked building props and [my daughter] liked how the teachers were really supportive.” 

#4 – “For my introverted son, it was a great experience and a safe space to bring out his personality.”

#5 –  “The final show was amazing – I cannot believe they learned so much in just a few weeks. What a wonderful experience!”
