Loved:

My daughter and her friend attended and they seemed to love it! Cake pops are always a great idea, they loved making those!

Improvements:

I think the age range is too large. When 10-11 year olds are doing the same activity with 4-5 year olds it really changes the dynamic. I think they would enjoy it more if the time was structured more to their age group.

Student "That I got to play with some kids and I liked making the frosting for the churro donuts." Mom: Sign up and drop off/pick up were super easy. We feel super safe sending our kid for the day. It's a great day off option in the neighborhood.

Improvements:

Nothing at this time!
