Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback. First and foremost, we are deeply incredibly sorry that what was supposed to be a special birthday trip and vacation ended up causing your son so much anxiety. Traveling more than 10 hours to attend our camp is an incredible compliment, and it breaks our hearts to hear that technical frustrations overshadowed his experience and kept him from wanting to attend the final day.
You raised some excellent, highly practical points, and we want to address how we are handling these technical hurdles and your recommendations:
Handling WiFi and Processing Bottlenecks: When a room full of creative kids hit upload at the same time, it can absolutely throttle the local network and cause lagging. Your suggestion to stagger WiFi usage or render times is a fantastic, common-sense solution, and we are working with our instructional teams to implement better pacing so the tech can keep up with the kids.
Improving Front-End Communication: You are completely right, tech issues happen, but the anxiety comes from the kids feeling like they did something wrong or that they are falling behind. We are updating our instructor guidelines to ensure that if a lag occurs, the team immediately pauses to reassure the class: "Hey everyone, the network is just processing a lot of awesome data right now. Your work is safe, you aren't behind, and we have a backup plan to get your videos on the big screen." Kids should never feel pressured to work after hours on their vacation.
Continuing the Learning at Home: Our core mission is to equip students with the tools they need to keep creating long after camp ends. That is actually one of the main reasons we choose to use highly accessible technology like iPads and mobile apps, so the barrier to entry remains low when they go home. We would be more than happy to share specific ways and resources your son can use to continue building on the skills he learned during his time with us.
We are so glad our instructor was able to be kind and offer a workaround, but we deeply regret that the overall experience was disappointing for his birthday. We take your feedback seriously to ensure future traveling families, and locals alike, have a seamless, stress-free experience.
If you are open to it, we would love to connect with you directly and to see how we can restore your family's confidence in us. Please feel free to reach out to our administration team.
