20 Best Summer Programs In Riverside, CA (2022 Updated)

I think financial aid is run by Dr.Seuss. It’s a literal circus. They barely answer the phone and Stacy is brutal. I think she wrestled in the WWE. I simply and politely asked about my financial aid app and she punch me in throat so hard I started singing Ave Maria. I didn’t even know I knew the song. Oh and Brenda in records punched me in my chest so hard my shoulders clapped. She was pretty adamant about me not transferring. Do not step on campus without your PPO being updated.Donovan Bradshawe

This is a great university with students from all around the world, very beautiful buildings, gardens and sport facilities. It was a fantastic experience to study there for an year and enjoy such a nice atmosphere. Just be aware that you need a car to travel in weekends, for Riverside itself does not have many attractions, though it's a cozy city.Michael Rachid

Beautiful campus. So green. I love the Eucalyptus trees. It’s quiet in certain areas and social in others when students are around. A little something for everyone. Nice pathways for both walking and cycling. There are benches all around the campus to provide ample sitting areas to either just rest or to study with solar powered charging stations.Sajleen

CBU is pretty rad, and I want to respond to what I've seen in a couple reviews here. The first of which is people saying the location in Riverside sucks. I'll admit Riverside is not super tight, but there is the mission inn and a drive in movie theater and a few other things which are pretty cool within a few minutes of campus. The best part of Riverside is it's less than an hour from the beach, an hour from the mountains, and hour from LA and 45 minutes from a few theme parks. So if you have a car and aren't super lazy, your weekends should be fun. And there's always fun stuff going on campus too, (dive in movie nights at the pool, intramural and NCAA sports games, concerts, carnivals etc.) so if you have a good attitude you can have fun hanging out on campus. People are saying CBU wants your money. Of course they do, so does every other university that is in business. However CBU will really work with you to help you afford the school. Get good grades, maybe go out for a sports team or the music department and you'll get even more money. You have to work for it though, they don't give out serious amounts of money to anyone. If your parents are in ministry (pastor/missionary/work full time at a church) you're in luck too cuz they have scholarships for that too. It's a Christian school… Yep. I wouldn't say intolerant though. You will be taught what they believe to be Christian values and you can only expect that. There's like 7,000 students too so I'm sure there are rude intolerant ones there too. I think you will find rude/intolerant people no matter where you go but it most definitely is not the essence of the student body. CBU has a uniquely welcoming and loving community, and that's something I've heard from Christians and non-Christians alike at the school. Both are welcome to come but both also are required to go to chapel and follow the rules. I don't agree with all the rules but most of them are a pretty reasonable balance of trying to give freedom to students and adhere to Christian principles (coming from a non-conservative Christian background). That's part of making the decision to go to a Christian university, and realistically it's probably what's best for you anyways. If anyone has anything bad to say about the food I don't know what world famous chef you had cooking for you your entire life before here. The caf has killer variety, Chik-fil-a is freaking Chik-fil-a, Wandas has great breakfast and the best steak quesadillas, and El-Monte is as good as Chipotle. CBU does give real world experience. I know as a business major there are some awesome professors that are all about real world experience. Dr. Weniger and Alderson are a couple that come to mind. You get out what you put into your classes and almost every single professor at the school is very open to spending time with you helping you out with homework or just life. Academics are pretty top tier, but professors do come and go and though most are great, some are much better than others, so do a little time looking round rate my professor if you want the best ones. CBU is great. Sure there are other universities that are great too (not to many that compare that are in Southern California though) but CBU is a well rounded school academically, socially and spiritually. No school/student body is perfect, that's just life, but CBU is a solid choice to spend 4 years growing academically and spiritually into who you are going to be the rest of your life.Jake Roque

Okay, so I went to this school originally considering a nursing degree. It's hard to have many nice things to say about this school.. The school looks nice, but the neighborhood area is crap. You have to drive kinda far to see or do anything nice. It's hardly in Riverside, CA. Feel more like Norco, armpit of California. They put most of their students in cheap housing. Much of it was temporary when I was there. Other housing was old folks homes. Weird cheap, and kinda gross. The major feature of this school is this: They want your money. That's all. It's nothing spectacular in any way, and based on the price, it's a really bad deal. They "award" small scholarships to practically any student for any reason. They try to bring in a bunch of students through their music school. A music degree is NOT WORTH 100k- 150k of debt. And please remember folks, if everybody gets a scholarship, it's not actually a scholarship. THINK about it.. They just want your attention and your money. ALSO, Please be aware they will be raising the tuition on you every year, by lots of money! If you start at 30-35k, You will probably end at 40-45k annually. It's probably costing something around or over 40 or more thousand per year now. And YOU WILL pay more than you think by the end of the year. It's a Christian school, which is fine if you're a Christian. They are relatively intolerant conservatives though. Very serious/ oppressive Christian all over the place. Many of the students are sheltered, and having moved on to a regular university, I can tell you it doesn't represent the real world experience, or normal people, for the most part. Regarding this: Don't bother going here unless you're a rich serious sheltered Christian. If that's what you value, then maybe you'll like this place. Some of the people are fairly friendly, and the food in the cafeteria was good WHEN I was there. That more than a year ago. Some of the teachers were alright as well. I mostly took science classes, for reference. In summary, if you're not a young Christian who has no desire for real-world experience,then don't go here. The price is so not worth it! It's an institution for profit! Go to your local community college and earn entrance to a great University! Even Ivy league schools are looking to replace young dropouts with students that did well in their community colleges! It's just not worth it. If you're a thinking person, you'll start hating this school not long after you get there. NOT WORTH ITMichael D. Bear

I loved all 4 years at this school! As a freshman, I lived in the dorms and met my group of closest friends that I still hang out with to this day. I loved the food and had to be careful with dessert in the cafeteria otherwise I would have packed on the calories. The school does a great job of setting up events that target every student and gives great deals for other off-campus events like cheap Lakers tickets, cheap tickets to theme parks, and other giveaways. I am Mexican and I have never once felt like I was discriminated against at this school, if anything there are plenty of people at this school who make an effort to talk about racial injustices among students. As far as the incident in Ontario, I just want to say that you can find that level of ingorance at any university and even more so outside of that setting. Two girls made a stupid decision to throw a drink on a guy and they happened to be CBU students. If I’m being real here, CBU does not turn many people away when it comes to the application process, so any person who has higher than a 2.5 GPA will most likely get in. CBU does not necessarily focus on whether you are a Christian or not because they’d rather have you here at this school than at a school where the chance of hearing the gospel is much lower. Now back to the point, CBU is honestly such a great school and if you’ve ever visited, you notice right away that the atmosphere is one that you can’t find in many other places. People treat you with love, respect, understanding, and kindness. CBU is a school that truly looks to serve the students in any way possible and that’s the truth. Don’t let others who are are upset about what happened in Ontario tear down the idea of coming to this school because you will definitely see that the number of students who will treat you with love and respect far outweighs the ones who would pour a drink on you for sitting during the national anthem. Christian or not, CBU will welcome you with open arms regardless of ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, gender, etc..Gabriel Lara

Since its inception in 2014, the SRC, or also known as the Student Recreation Center, this has been a facility I have enjoyed every single time I have been here. From waking up early in the morning to get a quick workout done, to heading over to lift weights with my former roommates after class, the SRC offers a wide array of equipment, weights, cardio machines, and programs students can utilize at their convenience along with a wide selection of sports ranging from volleyball to indoor soccer. To say the SRC has surpassed its predecessor (now known as the SRC North) by an abundant margin would be an understatement. It would not be an audacious statement to make to say that the SRC could surpass the expectations of the average student here at UC Riverside. One reason I cannot give the SRC five stars is because of its poor flexibility to the response of COVID-19. From what I've seen in different cities across California, many schools have opted for outdoor gyms, allowing students to curtail the drawbacks an indoor gym would pose during a pandemic. In spite of many findings proving the lack of correlation between the infection rate of COVID-19 and gyms, UCR has not made any efforts to work around the current situation within the last year, other than renting weights which seemed very unpopular since its implementation. In spite of this being a reasonable claim for some and an unreasonable claim for the latter, in the end, only 3 out of the four years I was here was the SRC open for use. I hope that once the COVID-19 pandemic has ceased to threaten our daily occupations of life, many students akin to the fitness lifestyle will continue to enjoy and use the SRC for many years to come.Daniel Antonio

Five stars cause the gym itself is fantastic and the facilities are bountiful af and well kept. There's like a dozen squat racks which is such an improvement over literally every other gym I've been to that has like one rack, and that's a huge relief. The few issues I have with the SRC don't detract from the 5 stars cause the issues generally have to do with the other people that use this gym. Here are a few PSA's for those that need to hear it: a) Y'all need to learn to put your mf weights away when you're done. Seriously you guys are like in your 20s, pick up after yourselves. good lord. b) Stop throwing the weights down after a set, literally no one is impressed. There's a difference between dropping them because you're tired and literally throwing them on the ground, you degenerates. There are more but I've lost interest. In conclusion, in the ~2.5 years I've been going here I've seen the rec center staff slowly stop enforcing the rules and I honestly don't blame them cause the amount of people doing dumb stuff is out of control. I literally saw some dude riding around the rec on a longboard and no one said anything to him. 5/5 tho, I still go all the timeErik Sease

The UCR Student Recreation Center is without a doubt a massive improvement over it’s predecessor. The swimming facilities are open all year round with thermal control for any type of weather. The Physical Fitness facilities are a huge upgrade from the worn down former equipment and the SRC sports an indoor track for cardio training. The student staff and SRC Faculty enjoy what they do and provide quality maintenance without whom, the facilities would never last. However, what warrants a 4 star rating is the size and scale of the upgraded SRC given the price tag all full-time undergrads pay for its amenable services whether they utilize it or not.Joseph Gallardo

First time to come check this amazing place out the staff is super friendly. They are all polite and welcoming one of the volunteers gave us a history lesson on the building which was awesome who new it was a girls young womans Christian center. Pretty cool to know that where one of the exhibits is laid out use to be a indoor swimming pool. So that being said nice art work from various artist paintings, drawings, and photography they even have art for children posted on the wall. They accept donations. Small exhibits but worth checking it out. Did I mention there are sculptures too fantastic to look at and intricateO.k Tomahawk

Our family absolutely loves this place. They are helpful, kind and care about sharing the love of art with future generations. I wouldn't mind seeing them change the placement of some of the artwork which lines the walls near the classrooms, for the sake of children. Other than that, we have nothing but appreciation for this place. Please support the museum financially when you go. They don't require people to pay, but places like this need our support to continue offering community education and culture.Kelly Vargas

Location:Good, Parking: Good, Service: Good, Military Discount: Yes, Overall: This was a first time try and I appreciate the respect they give Military members buy offering discounts. The young lady at the counter was very helpful and gave me any info I requested. I feel the city of Riverside is worth the trip to see the museums and have some lunch or dinner…Rich Gill (Rich AMeN Gill)

I was surprised at how they treat people over the phone. I had a question for Ken Scott the athletics director and he was very short with me and hung up on me… Wow.marie marie

The staff and teachers at Notre Dame High School in Riverside are par-excellence as they seem to sincerely want what's best for their students and the community! 🙂Michael John Stanley

What an amazing first time experience in Redlands Bowl! People of all ages gather together to watch Taiko Drummers in their heart pounding performance-literally and figuratively. Their performance was like a perfect marriage of music and martial arts. The performers were very enthusiastic for enormous crowd. Takes time to get used to it since the pandemic. The cherry on top was you get to watch it for free. Bring your own picnic mat and folding chairs. I just frown up some folks living their trash in the seats. Kindly be responsible and help this long standing free summer open air music for other people to enjoy. Programs every Tuesday and Friday at 8 pm. No registration required. Hour long performances from artistsMalak Angel

Arrived 2 hours early, lol wayyyyy to early. Plenty of seats an hour before but parking is tough. Great place great shows. Most families sat in grass which kept distracted kids away from making a scene which was totally appreciated. Can bring your own food a drinks not a problem. Def recommend a pillow for your butt/ back. They sell drinks and popcorn and ice cream at the show I saw. 10/10 even tho the fireworks were cancelled. Had a great time. Can't wait for next year.A Humphrey

Such a wonderful place, facility, and location. It was clean, and of course, The Little Mermaid production was truly WONDERFUL. So much talent on that stage and behind the scenes. Our grandchildren stayed awake for the entire show. Their Favorite Parts: Remy 6 – The Crab! Group dances The tap dancing The "pirates" on the ship Krystle 4 – Ariel Her singing Her costumes Thank you for making this available, for FREE, and for making the donation process so quick and easy!Vicky Bennett

Great park with the big lake. But also one too many people fishing. I’m sure that it is great for them to be allowed to fish here, particularly with little kids. But, at the same time there are one too many people doing just that. Maybe because it was a Sunday late afternoon. I was told that when a couple were there on a Saturday afternoon, they didn’t see that many people at the park, let alone all the people fishing. Nonetheless, it is a great park to hang out and spend an afternoon with family. And it is also an awesome place to do an engagement session. I saw 3 sessions going on simultaneously across the park.H Peter Ji

I drove past this park when picking up some furniture and decided to stop by on the way back. I enjoyed it immensely. A lot of socals parks arent the greatest but I enjoyed this one for all the duck and bird watching, being able to walk around the lake. The atmosphere was festive. There were a lot of food and goods stands (not sure about the occurrence of these). A solid playground for kids. Enough grass to enjoy. I spent only a little over an hour taking a walk around the lake before heading home.Maya

I dearly enjoy coming here for my routine runs or even to just walk the park with my partner.. the park is always hosting a variety of events open to public from low rider car meets to bicycle ride alongs. Also make a lot of use of the basketball courts and believe it or not even the water park area has been occupied by me after a long run in the summer.. plus I absolutely love coming here strictly to visit and order from the local vendors..Kaykay Danitza

I struggled with getting the TOEFL scores required by NABP ( National Association of the Boards of Pharmacy). I needed to get Reading-22 Listening-21 Speaking-26 Writing-24 at one test (the total score does not matter). I kept on taking the test until I found AEI at Riverside. I decided to enroll again. I came to classes almost everyday and at the same time Sandra, the director, did a one on one tutoring. She was able to pin- point the reasons why I cannot pass the test. Teacher Sixta, Brett and Carol guided me not just academically but also emotionally. Carol even taught me what to eat for breakfast before the test and during the 10 minute break to endure the 4 hour test. With God's grace, after taking the TOEFL test for so many times. I FINALLY, got the scores that I need to pass. Thank you, AEI Riverside.Pinky Venturina

At the beginning I thought it was a small school . It was only me and another student. I had taken the IELTS before starting the school and had gotten 5. After just four weeks I jumped from IELTS 5 to 6. That was like magic to me. This big jump would need on average one year to eight months of study to achieve that at other schools. The teachers and staff are fantastic and we study Monday through Friday from 9 to 1 PM. The school accepts many types of visas including F1/F2, B1/B2. So I advise international students to enroll at AEI because even though it's small they concentrate on you and help you to improve your skills in no time and it's good because its approved by SACM.Omar D

In the beginning, I was feeling uncertain due to small classes but this is what I grew to love. I discovered they keep the school small for a good reason. It is their mission to give much one-on-one attention to students. For this reason, I learned so much in the classes and in a warm and positive environment. Teachers are excellent and also enjoy their profession much. I learned very quickly here and had great enjoyment. It is a little gem in Riverside city.Celine Chamborg

This is the second month I enroll my 10 yr old son. The first time was virtual. We decided to try In-Person, this time around and he absolutely enjoyed it. He met friends with same interests and I personally prefer it also. It teaches them social skills while re-enforcing their interests in technology. I honestly felt guilty for trying to force sports on him. But he was adamant about his decision. Coding was the best thing for him. The staff is amazing. Very friendly with the children. The building is very clean and well put together. I definitely recommend the Riverside STEAM Center if you’re looking to enroll your child in coding classes.Y McNair

My 9 year old daughter loves attending classes here! Cameron is a fantastic instructor and he's also a very kind person. Also Mina the girl at the front desk is one of the most genuinely sweetest people I've ever met in my life. She's so warm and inviting. This is such a positive and engaging environment for children to learn a skill that they will definitely use throughout their lives as technology is the way of the world. I highly recommend this education center.megan wren

I brought my 10 year-old son to the Tech STEAM Center for their Spring Break program and he had a great experience! Their staff was very knowledgable and offered trainings on subjects my son was already in love with such as level design, VR and Roblox. Mina was incredibly sweet and kind, and Alfonso was super helpful getting my son enrolled, and passionate about the future of technology for kids. He's excited to come back for their Summer program!Adam Douglas

After my internship at Middle Tree last summer, I am convinced that it is an exceptional organization and I have recommended it to several students interested in getting tutoring, and to others who are looking for somewhere to volunteer. Middle Tree truly works to serve the kids of the community by providing both an engaging and welcoming atmosphere for the students. The teachers and teachers' aides are so patient, they love working there, and they do their best to facilitate the academic needs of each student. I truly loved working with the students and hope that those who are looking for a tutoring center consider Middle Tree because it's so much more than just tutoring, it's wanting the best academic success for every student there.Ariel Abdallah

Middle Tree is amazing! I have been working with them for a little over 6 months and I have learned so much. Due to COVID, I have been teaching online. It was tough at the beginning but Dr. Atman and Frank have provided us with the right tools to make it easier for us to work and help our students. Our weekly meetings provide us with tips and ideas. Our open discussions are also so helpful, we are learning as we go. Middle Tree has an amazing staff from the director to HR to the tutors and site leads. I would definitely recommend anyone to join the team.Bricia Garcia

My husband and I initially enrolled our kids at Middletree a few years ago for their professional help with homework that two full-time working parents lack time and energy in providing. My middle-schooler no longer requires the extra assistance; however, my primary grader definitely benefits. She loves going there! The staff are very friendly, engaging and communicative. We are so grateful that our daughter gets the assistance and attention she needs. It's also fun to run into the Director every once in a while and tease him about the Bears!Cheryl Marine

My son has been attending classes at Sylvan Learning for a little over a month now and has shown dramatic improvements in his writing. I searched other learning centers, and to my surprise, this is the only one that has a specific class devoted to writing. My son is an above average reader, but when asked to write a paragraph about anything, he would draw a blank. It was like he couldn't get his thoughts on paper. Two weeks after attending his writing class I asked him to write a book report on a novel he finished. What would normally be an all day, hair pulling ordeal, he was able to finish in less than 10 minutes!! No fighting or tears, he just started writing! I asked how in the world did they get you to write? lol He simply stated his teacher gave him another way to look at writing and it helped. It absolutely did! I'm so impressed with this facility! My expectations have been blown away! My son loves going to class, the facility is always clean, and the staff is very kind and welcoming. Definitely worth every penny to see the confidence shine through my son knowing he has found a way to tackle this obstacle.SoCalAshley

My son has not been going for very long but we've already seen some progress and he has had such a huge boost in his confidence. I'm so happy we chose Sylvan compared to other local places. The staff are very caring and welcoming. I contacted several other learning service providers and no one would want me to come in for an in person consultation and would simply give me an outrageous price over the phone. When I contacted Sylvan, I was able to set up an in person visit to see where my child will be learning and feel out the staff, who in my opinion, showed she loves what she does and was very kind towards the kids. My son loves going there and leaves with a smile every day. I can't wait to see his progress a few months from now.Monica Hedrick

My daughter has attended over a month now. I have seen her progress very well. You can pay monthly for a term or purchase a minimum of 50 hours. It is a bit expensive, but what is your child worth? The investment you make now on your child will pay dividends in the future many times over. Sylvan will work with your public school teacher over any academic issues, which is a huge relief. They have a reward system for your child which is a big incentive for them to work hard. My daughter always earns tokens and uses them to buy a gift from the gift table. Sylvan will meet with you on a monthly basis to update you on your child.Gary Naranjo

We have our daughter attending Sylvan to help her with her reading. It’s been a real struggle till we found sylvan. So happy our little girl can nOw actually open a book and read it !!!! The staff has been very helpful and great with assisting us to achieve this goal. We have tried 2 others tutoring schools and saw no results. We are beyond happy with Sylvan and outcome of having our child attend the learning center. Nice knowledgeable staff , clean classrooms and restrooms. The fact that they check every child daily to make sure they have no high temp and making sure the students are not ill is a big relief to make sure we don’t catch any flus. Thanks again to the whole staff for your support and helping Priscilla achieve her reading skills to progress for the futureGeorge manneh

I'm posting to commend this Sylvan facility on the work they are doing to ensure the safety of all their students and staff. They have a great system for space, barriers, masks, temp checks, hand sanitizer. And through it all, they are still providing close, one on one services to my son for assistance on his homework in a way that he just isn't able to get with virtual learning. They go above and beyond to motivate my son towards independence and reward him with cheers, a token system that works for him, and positive greetings every time we come. It's helping tremendously during this time.BROOKLIN TROVERPESETSKI

We started Sylvan about 6 months ago to help my 6 yr old with reading and math. Sylvan has helped him build confidence and he is improving his fluency. The teachers are kind and patient and keep the kids motivated. Ms. Melissa goes above and beyond to communicate and ensure the kids get personalized plans. We also love the monthly check ins where we see the progress. Oh! And my son LOVES the store and asks to go twice in a day to earn tokens. Great job, everyone! We are very grateful.Denise Buenrostro

We loved L'Expression Creative Studio. Maryam is wonderful in every way! My now 3 year old daughter wanted to paint for her birthday party, but it wasn't easy finding a place in Riverside willing to accommodate toddlers. When we came upon Maryam she was not only willing to host the party for toddlers, but couldn't have been more flexible and accommodating. Maryam was even willing to have the party the day before her grand opening! She made the party fun for the kids and the day flowed nicely. The opportunities for parties and events at L'Expression Creatice Studio seem endless. Both the inside and outside spaces are charming and it seems Maryam still has big plans for adding to the charm of the spaces. I highly recommend L'Expression Creative Studio for your next event!Tiffany C.

My family and I did a sip and paint for my birthday with lxp studios and such an amazing experience. From the way the scenery was set up, to the music, to explaining and helping hand of the instructor/teacher was perfect. I could not have had a better experience. You dont have to worry about being an amazing artist you are free to have your canvas pre-draw and you can paint your painting how ever you please. I highly recommend you try them out because it is so much fun.Darlene Jones

Mariam is awesome! We found her through FreeBrithdayZone.com! She coordinated to come and do a private art lesson for our daughters 11th bday! She even set up a personalized painting of our daughters favorite anamie character Killua from HxH! Thank you for making our daughter bday special! Mariam is kind and professional and even embraces art theory and technique at the pace and level you can follow! Great work and so much fun!Joyce HappyDay

SLMX has been very helpful. I just started riding again and it's been over 25 yrs since I had a bike last. Having private lessons through SLMX has been a game changer. My confidence and skill level has increased greatly. At first I was a little intimidated by my bike, but after hours of training with SLMX I feel way more comfortable riding.The amount of time we are able to go into the specific details of riding has helped a great deal. I have been training with Todd and he is very knowledgeable. Between rides we'll go over the bike, racing, maintenance, etc… pretty much anything I want to talk about he's always willing to help. I look forward to using the riding skills I've learned out on the trails as well. I would highly recommend SLMX to anyone looking to learn more about MX riding or any riding for that matter.Paul Bennett

Our 14 year old son and his friend had a great 5 days of coaching from Thomas and Kevin. Both did an excellent job! Both are so humble for such experienced riders and their coaching tequniques are excellent! We can't say enough good about Both of them! This experience was worth every penny! Attention to safety, excellent assessment of riders capabilities extremely approachable, great communication great tracks and a fun time! Capable of coaching any level of rider, from first timers, to advanced competitive racers. We can't wait to go back! It was well worth the drive down!Theresa Peltier

An game changer experience! We made a 2,400 mile round trip for 5 days of coaching. I've coached several sports and I greatly appreciated Thomas's approach. Positive, supportive and used both visual and verbal techniques to teach basic and advanced skills. We appreciated working sections of each track, to develop skills to transfer to any track our son rides. It wasn't just turning laps. Sean was very flexible with us in scheduling the tracks we were going to visit. Very organized! Great Communication! An Awesome Experience all around!David Bolin

I am a Harvard grad with an advanced degree in business. My wife is working on her general eds through RCC. I look to the future and my wife is planted firmly in today. We don't always agree, except when it impacts our children. My daughter was having some difficulty in school. She was not confident in her abilities and WAS almost two grades behind where she "should" be. We went looking for a program to bring her up to grade level. We found Sylvan. Sylvan brought my daughter up two grade levels in six weeks. She participates in class and is engaging with ideas beyond just repeating information. Sylvan has been an amazing investment for my daughter. Parent to parent – Business is increasingly reliant on math skills. The success of our children is going to be based on how well they can understand information, convert it, and present it. The next generation will not be successful without the types of skills Sylvan can teach beyond the classroom.Ruben Madrid

My son started at the beginning of April and it has been amazing. This has been my sons 3rd place of tutoring and by far has is the best. Its a little bit more than the other places, but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. If you want the best for your kids this is the place to be at. My son loves it so much and he has been improving in math in one month. Also I was extremely impressed with how Sylvan communicated with my sons teacher. No other place ever took the time to get on the same page with the teacher. I have been impressed and cant wait to see how much more my son learns. Thank you Sylvan…Helen Campos

Our son began kindergarten, the year schools shut down. Fast forward to his first grade year and enrolled in private school, he struggled with the work presented to him. We enrolled him into Sylvan, for reading and within a couple of sessions, his confidence improved. We are 100 hours in, now, and our kiddo is excited for his evening reading sessions. His teacher has noticed an improvement, the conference’s and communication are wonderful. Overall a really great program and worth the money.Kelsey McBride

The Camp Transformation Center in Riverside is a great place where you can enjoy your workouts. The Camp at Riverside is located in a facility that offers you four high garage doors with enormous ceiling fans that creates a well-ventilated place, even in summer you can feel the breeze. The Crew at the Camp have been doing a fantastic job keeping up with the federal, state and local COVID-19 regulations. The floor has been systematically divided in six feet square areas for each person with one sanitizing bottle and paper towel to sanitize the equipment before and after. They also have strategically placed sanitizing gel bottles for the use of all members. The check in process takes place outside where your temperature is taken and mask are required. As a Realtor® practicing one of the essential activities during the COVID-19, I really appreciate all the hard work The Crew at The Camp Riverside they put in a daily basis to keep this place in compliance. I really enjoy working out in The Camp, you just need to bring your good vibes and follow along the professional motivated coaches that are always willing to get the best out of your body and soul. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or advance, you will feel very comfortable exercising at The camp Riverside. The coaches always have alternatives for beginners or persons with special conditions. I encourage you to maintain you body in constant movement, The Camp Riverside could be a GREAT option.

The Camp Boot Camp has been the best decision I have every made when it has come to my fitness. When I went to the big name gym I was bored, unmotatived, struggled with my routine. At the Camp Boot Camp you don't have to even think about what muscle group your going to work out it's all done for you. I am getting closer to my fitness goal and after a workout I feel like I worked out. Once you go to the Camp Boot Camp you will be hooked just like I am. I look forward to going and working out with others that have the same fitness goals. Erick has informational seminars, he also takes his clients to a grocery store tour WOW this really opened my eyes on what I was eating and what I considered was healthy for me. I recommend The Camp Boot Camp to any and everyone, What are you waiting for time to get started at the Camp Boot Camp to reach your fitness goals.linda b

Good place workout wise but they just don't respect their words and try to rip off. When i start my membership with a trainer name Jaydon, he ask me 30 days notice to cancel the subscription. i stayed over 2 years member of this gym, when i request them to cancel my membership they did but keep charging my credit card, when i call and talk to the front desk their, The Lady name Beth said we require one month notice, i did notice 40 days before, as my last month dues were already been paid. So my question to Camp, why don't you tell upfront 2 month Canceling notice ? Why rip off people with words ? I did ask my $147/- refund and they are just playing with words. Not recommended unless they resolve the issue.Sher A Tippu

The learning experience has truly been the best experience for my son. We started our son at the school in 2020, shortly before the pandemic. When you are already nervous about leaving your child and then have the threat of a pandemic….one can only imagine the anxiety we felt as parents. This school eased our fears and took care of our son. He has thrived while attending TLE. He loves school and it is all because of the positive experience TLE provided him. The program is more than curriculum, it is about raising good humans. Our son has walked away ready for Kindergarten. He has been given the tools and skills to focus in class, keep a routine and respect all. The staff is OUTSTANDING! I cannot emphasize enough how much we love this school. If you are looking for a place to start your child's fundamental development years, TLE is the place. Thank you for all you do!Swati Woods

I looked for a long time and finally found the Learning Experience Riverside. The staff here is AMAZING. They are so intentional and are always warm and friendly with the kids. I stayed at home with both kiddos for a long time so transitioning them to school was a big deal. From our first tour both kids were excited and didn't want to go. We had toured several other places before and the both of them were crying to leave. But not here. My (then) 2.5 year old and 3 year old LOVE this place and all the friends they've made. My son is already learning how to read! It's so cool to see them come home and tell me about Presidents, and Mt. Rushmore, and the solar system, and numbers… wow. There's a really good leadership team here, both owners are sincere and very intentional. Great academic place, great staff, so happy I found them!Rhodel Kabah

I have been working at this school to close to 3 years now as a 2 year old teacher and can say that The admin and owners are a great support system for the teachers at TLE- Riverside. The owners and admin demand nothing but the best for the children in our care. They go above and beyond for the children and have always followed both licensing standards and also their own corporate standards which are very high standard! I have always been supported as a teacher here & none of my students parents have ever complained about our program… in fact I have only gotten praise from parents about our program, here at TLE!alejandra demoss

My grandson just returned from River Way and it was a resounding success. He had so much fun that on the drive home he was already planning a 4 week stay next summer. Even though the camp looked awesome in the videos we were still nervous about a 2 week stay for a 7 year old on his first sleep away camp experience. But this camp is really special- with a caring staff, great counselors and so many amazing activities- it is really a kid's paradise- horse back riding, ziplining, tubing, archery, go karts, ATVs- He even liked the food. I gave the max 5 stars but our grandson gave 10.Wendy Austin

River Way is a fabulous experience with so many wonderful activities the kids can be involved in. Friendly, knowledgeable staff and counselors are there 24/7 and are specially trained in CPR, first aid, and lifeguarding to keep your kids safe while they are having fun. Incredible food and living accommodations, too. Off-site trips to Kings Canyon National Park, Wild Water Adventures, the Fresno Chaffee Zoo, and many others also adds to this spectacular camp!Shannon Escobedo

I love this camp I am coming back for session 3 and I LOVE it sooo much I am even going to be there when I turn 12!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone there is so supportive and if you have any problems a councilor will ALWAYS help if you just tell them. I would definitely recommend this camp it’s SOOOOOOOOOO much fun 👏🏻♥️♥️Liv & Madison Vlogs

Camp Adventurewood is the best kids summer camp in the San Gabriel Valley. With a phenomenal staff that brings unrivaled energy and unwavering commitment to meeting the needs of each and every kid, there is no other camp I would rather send my kids to. In addition to the amazing staff, the amiable and responsible camp owner, Peter, is on-site every day overseeing the smooth operation of daily activities. Not only does Camp Adventurewood offer all (if not more) of the activities you would expect to see from the best summer camps, it also adds an action-packed storyline for the kids to follow and interact with like a live television show! Having been a camper for nine years and a counselor for five, kids of all ages tell me they love this element of Camp Adventurewood and the staff is very conscious of making all campers feel safe during the action. Many campers continue to return year after year to keep up with the engaging storyline, see their favorite counselors again and participate in the captivating daily activities. Give your kid the best summer experience yet by sending them to Camp Adventurewood and by the end of the summer they'll beg you to sign them up again.Charles Jameson

My daughter attended Camp Adventurewood for 3 Summers and it has been the best 3 summers of her life. “Every minute in camp is amazing!” according to her. She is always excited about going every single day as they have different activities scheduled. She’s learned new and fun stuff you would not see on any other camp. They do Canoeing, Horseback Riding, Archery and much more. Also, aside from doing Arts and Crafts, Barbecues, hiking and swimming, they also go on trips at Sunset beach which is one of my daughter’s favorite, as she loves the water so much. All counselors are well-trained to supervise the kids so I never have to worry about their safety. And talk about convenience, they also have a shuttle to do door to door pick up and drop offs. For a working mom like me, this really helped a lot. Peter supervises the training for the Commercial Drivers for the Senior Counselors to make sure best and safest drivers are behind the wheels for the shuttle. Peter, the owner is the greatest! He and his staff at Camp Adventurewood are all highly recommended.Ehnne Pedi

My boys have attended Camp Adventurewood every single summer from the time they were 4 or 5. Each started their first summer going 2 or 3 days/wk and by the second summer insisted on 5 days/wk. Every year I asked them if they wanted to go back and it was always an enthusiastic yes! Camp Adventurewood offers lots of great outdoor activities including hiking, swimming, archery and horseback riding. However, what really sets this camp apart is the amazingly creative "treasure hunt" element. Each summer the Camp Adventurewood days revolve around a different adventure storyline that winds through the day to day activities at the camp. The kids love it! As a parent, I love that they can be picked up from the house by an air-conditioned van and have a wonderful time with attentive, caring counselors. Camp Adventurewood is fun fun fun for kids and so convenient for parents!Lori MacPherson

I could not be happier with this Gym. My son has been attending this Gym for about a year now, and I love it. The facility its self is kept very clean, even the windows are free of little hand prints! The owner of the Gym is an amazing woman, who is extremely caring, and willing to work with you, because she really cares about the kids. My son's instructor is also an amazing young woman who sees that certain kids aren't picking up certain skills, and she works with them on it. She doesn't just allow them to fall behind and move onto the next thing. My son was having difficulties grasping the concept of jumping, and so I let our instructor know, and she really did work with him on it, the next class or two, he was jumping on his own. They have a very generous makeup policy as well should you miss a class. Other Gyms I had looked into, were not as willing to work with you on that sort of thing, not to mention their staff was rude and seemed put out when they had to answer questions of parents, and that is never the case with The Little gym of Riverside. I would highly recommend this Gym to any parent who needs something for their little ones to do!Salena Angle

My daughter started Gymnastic classes at The Little Gym of Riverside about two weeks ago and she absolutely loves it!! She is always looking forward to going to her classes. She goes twice a week and I'm already seeing improvement as far as her balance, flexibility, and upper body strength. The staff are definitely friendly and full of energy. Nothing but PoSitive vibes!!ashley prieto

My grand daughter is 2.5 years old, attending Little Gym since 4 months of age. Her growth in coordination, skills and confidence have been a joy to watch. Such a great opportunity to pkay and interact with other children. Little Gym is more than worth the investment in time and money.Peggy Trigg
