Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Lee M.20 June 2024I sent my daughter here for a couple weeks of art camps during her school holiday. She had a wonderful time and made several nice paintings and sculptures. One of them has become her most cherished possession, and she proudly shows it to everyone who visits our home. I like how some of these art camp activities got her interested in fine art. She's in love with impressionism now, and she has been begging me to take her to see some famous impressionist paintings in person. I also appreciate how she was fed decent quality lunches while she attended, for other kids activities feature junk food far too often. Overall, I think the Chalk n Pencils art camps are good wholesome fun, and I would definitely send my daughter back.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Ei Liang Teng19 June 2024Highly recommend this place for kids.
