It's just plain fun. Communication is great and reasonably priced as well. I couldn't reccomended jonny bs more!!"

"John Brust is one hell of a guy. I have very fond memories of this summer camps / after-school program from when I was younger. I won the paper airplane contest with a top secret design. Burned the bottoms of my feet at the La Jolla Indian reservation. Won my first and only ever surfing trophy at La Jolla shores. Attended several hundred sunscreen parties. Almost died one day on the big blue bus (but thanks to John's quick reflexes and professional driving skills, we went from 2 wheels back down to all 4 safely). Became a master of capture the flag. Pretty much sucked at flag football. Learn t"
