Willowbrook Arts Camp

"This camp is a mixed bag for sure. I had always heard good things about it so this summer I signed my kids up for all 6 sessions. Right now we're in week 5 of 6. I've had a few questions from time to time and I've found out that emailing does not get results. After camp one day I asked my question in person to the staff member in charge and was told "I try not to answer emails unless it's an emergency." What?? So if you have a question, call them! Also, as others have said, the pickup process takes on avg 30 mins each day, some days 40 mins. They have a good system with taking your pickup sl"

"We tried this camp twice hoping for a better experience last year, but we won't be returning. It seems like the older kids have a great time, but I don't think it is a good environment for younger kids or shy kids. Neither of my kids made any new friends and much of time they felt confused about what they should be doing. They weren't excited about any of the art projects. It is VERY independent which might be great for some kids, but I expected a bit more guidance/ quality art materials for an 'art camp'. They round the kids up for pickup very early and have them sit in the dirt for the hour "

"This camp wasn't what I expected. My daughter is 5. Based on the website I thought that she would have more structured, instructor-led time with all of the activities listed (music, ceramics, dance, weaving, etc). The projects she brought home were pretty basic (folded construction paper, a beaded bracelet, a folded paper plate, and a shaker). She enjoyed the group games but I don't feel like she was exposed to the arts in a meaningful way. Willowbrook's unstructured environment might be a better fit for older kids. I will say that everyone was very nice."
