"The professional training and coaching that Sam & Natalie have received through their exposure to FPAC has been invaluable! Each staff member brought something unique to the experience and they learned something different from each of them. They can't name a favorite staff member. They are all great! Both kids have grown tremendously in their skills and abilities, but more importantly in their confidence in those abilities. Spending time with other kids who share their interest in this field has been wonderful! It has been great for their self-esteem to be around others with similar talents, goals, and passions who take the process seriously. It amazes me how supportive the kids are of each other's successes. You've created a competitive, but healthy environment where the kids push each other to be better in a very positive manner. This is not a "camp!" It is a Performing Arts Conservatory!"
