"I can tell you that BOTH of my children said it was the BEST CAMP EVER!!! They have both gone to several different camps over the years and have attended ok camps, good camps, great camps but this camp tops it off. Even with great camps they have been to in the past, at the end of the session they are ready to move on. Not with your camp. Your staff is extraordinary and should know just how much they touch the kids lives!!!! They are anxiously awaiting next year's camp."

"When I drop off our kids, they burst out of my car with smiles on their faces, ready to go. I think that this says so much about you and your classes. They all take dance and voice and do their plays, but the instruction they receive from you makes them the performers that they want to be."

"Besides the Wilmette Theatre bringing to our humble village more of the arts and vision than we've seen in a long time, this class and the other ATC classes are incredible and I am delighted Laura had the opportunity to participate. She is so proud of the new her (the same fabulous her as before but with a new confidence). Our youngest Emily, now wants to do improv. She is not new to ATC but I wanted you to know how fabulous you are to Wilmette and the rest of the shore."
