Good to know before you go
- Parents who highly prioritize consistent, positive, and direct "interaction with leadership" might find the experience unsatisfactory (Review 5)
- Parents seeking specific types of content or engagement in "topics for parents" may be disappointed (Review 5)
- One parent reported a "poor experience with the interaction with leadership" (Review 5)
- Dissatisfaction was expressed regarding "topics for parents" (Review 5)
- Value
- Most parents found the experience "well worth the investment" (Review 1). However, at least one parent felt it was "not worth the money invested," citing issues with leadership interaction and parent topics (Review 5). This suggests value perception is highly dependent on individual experience with these specific aspects.

"I’m an alumni from the late 80s/early 90s, and I still look fondly on “T-city” which I recall it being called. Going each summer was the very best part of my difficult childhood. Thank you for the memories!"
