20 Best Summer Programs In Tulsa, OK (2022 Updated)

I do not attend school here, but my kids and I were driving by just checking it out and my car started overheating so I saw a grounds keeper watering the flowers, so I stopped and asked him if he could put water in my car. He said well I'm not supposed to. Following the rules is great but we all need to learn to be human again!Barbara Hamilton

Beautiful campus. Great people that show great care to the students, faculty and staff. I work in the police department and let me tell you, they are very attentive and devoted to keeping the campus safe here. Everyone really cares and it is a fantastic atmosphere.Mira On the Wall

Great looking campus. Stopped in to look around and met Annette in marketing and she was super nice to me. Spent time talking about the campus and made me feel very welcomed. Thank you for the post card.Ben Huston

They make there programs sound great. The training seems ok. Not sure how relevant it is since I can't find a job in that field. They say how great there job placement services are. That's a joke, they are non-existent. You call and a lady named Deb. Is all you get to speak with. She always says call back, then no answer. She acts like it's a huge bother. I have been trying to get a job for 2 years and they haven't helped at all. You call to complain and hopefully get some help from someone else, they reroute you back to her. I would strongly recommend that you go elsewhere.Tony Houston

I wish they would treat the night classes the same as morning classes I've had horrible experience they never give our instructor the materials we need they don't let us use any of the big labs and we can only use very little stuff. I think it's really unfair since we're paying for the education we should all be treated the same. We struggle to pay for education as adults and head of house holds for them to be limiting the campus and supplies like they litteraly lock everything so we cant use it.cinthia amador

I went to school here my senior year in 2012-2013 school year and my 2nd year 2013-2014 in Masonry for 2 years and participate in the National Technical Honor Society both years and participated in SkillsUSA both years in won state in 2013 and 2014 and went to Nationals both year 2013 and 2014. My instructor teacher of masonry was Chauncey Kila. It was a great school I went to in Tulsa tech, we did a lot of fun things here at this campus and we are LEMLEY!!!!! 😀😀😀 👏👏👏Nathaniel Barnes

The park is very peaceful and well maintained. The staff and rangers were nice and super helpful. We did some hiking and swimming with the kids and it was pretty quiet and calm. We stayed at a cabin, it was generally clean, except for the coffee maker. If you stay at a cabin, make sure to bring utensils, cooking ware, and dish soap because the kitchenette doesn’t have any of those things.Fernanda R.

Nice State Park. The restrooms are clean and well stocked. Some of the RV sites are really packed in tight. The fishing is good, though there's several other lakes within an hour drive with better fishing. There isn't much in the way of trails, or hiking, but the Keystone Ancient Forest nearby is a good place for that. All in all, this is a nice little place and I'd recommend it.Michael Barnhouse

We absolutely LOVED our stay here! We rented a cabin for 4 days after the 4th of July and it was SO peaceful! I was SUPER impressed with the staff. Every person we dealt with took the time to make sure we were satisfied with our stay! We will definitely be going back!!Katelyn M.

This is my first time here. There is a concert tonight and they have a stage set up in the middle of the racetrack in the parking lot. Only 1 way in and 2 ways out. That's not an issue just letting you know. For a concert they have plenty of port-o-potties, vendors set up for food and drinks. Should be a good night.Bobby F

The facility is nice and the staff are very friendly. I love watching the thoroughbred horses run. You can stand right beside the track and feel the wind as the horses fly past you. They also run quarter horses so make sure you check which night they are running which breed if you have a preference.David Boley

Only been there to work on some of their systems. I'm really happy to find how serious their maintenance team is about making quick repair and attention to detail of their life safety systems. Their care for public safety is outstanding. Wouldn't hesitate to to take my family to an event there.Adam Cox

Both of my sons love Golden Dragon. It’s like a 2nd home for my sons. My 5 year old is always glued to Golden Dragon after each class because he has tons of friends he’s interacting. My older son is actively being trained (muscle, stamina and other skills he needs to be a top notch Taekwondo athletic) at Golden Dragon multiple days each week. For those families that are actively looking for the best Taekwondo school in Tulsa, I highly recommend Golden Dragon – a friendly environment with instructors that care about the growth of each student, physically and mentally. Golden Dragon is also a school that teaches respect and discipline, which is an important trait that the new generations must learn in today’s life. 👍🏻👍🏻Patricia Jones

Golden Dragon Taekwondo is amazing. My wife, two daughters and I have earned our Black Belts with this school. The Masters and Instructors are great, friendly and personal. The best part of Golden Dragon Taekwondo is that its associated with Kukkiwon University in South Korea, which is the World's Headquarters for taekwondo. Since we earned our Black Belts with them, we are Black Belts for life! If my kids want to take a break and restart later in life, all they have to do is find a Kukkiwon associated school and they will be black belts instead of having to start over. Highly recommend this school!!Jordan Holmes

I have been a student at Golden Dragon for around 4 years and I have been consistently impressed by each and every class I’ve ever taken. Each and every day I learn something new or improve in something old. On top of the effective teaching methods are some amazing instructors who help students to learn life skills such as respect, discipline, self-control and perseverance. I am proud to call myself a student at Golden Dragon. For anyone interested in Taekwondo for whatever reason, there is no better school than here. It feels like one big family which I am happy to be a part of.Joseph Barzellone

Next Level Athletics is fantastic! As a college athlete, I came to Next Level with strength and fitness goals of my own. They helped me reach every one of them. On top of the intense, high-level group training, the staff customized exercises and training plans specific to me and my goals and gave me every tool to achieve them. Aside from training, the staff is kind, respectful, friendly, and genuinely cares about each athlete that works through their doors. Next Level also provides great recovery tools like compression boots, foam rollers, stretching bands, etc. I would recommend Next Level Athletics to all athletes of all ages and all levels!Ashton Gordon

I have worked out at Next Level Athletics on multiple occasions and have been exceedingly pleased with every experience. The trainers are incredibly helpful while working with you on an individual level, and the facility is new and clean. One of my favorite things about the programs at Next Level Athletics are that they are conducive to people at any fitness level. All of their workouts are adaptable to fit your personal fitness needs. I highly recommend you check them out, you won’t regret it.Caleb Jackson

A fantastic gym with great staff!! The trainers are amazing and value listening to you—which areas you want to exercise, how you are feeling, etc. I had a great time working out there because I felt like I was very well coached and the workout was the perfect pace for me. I would recommend Next Level Athletics to anyone who wants to workout in an energetic and fun place with great coaches!Carley Swanson

Kay and all the teachers are amazing! We’ve been part of the KDM family for over a year now and what they do with these kids is just remarkable. The culture is so inclusive, positive and caring. For us, this has been more than just dance (but of course lots of that too 😜). We’re amongst a great group of people that hold a very special place in our hearts. Thanks for all you do ❤️Destiny Peterson

We recently were invited to a free class at Kay's. My son is 6 years old and loves to dance. He had a blast! The instructor was encouraging and motivating and it was a great atmosphere! My son attends a small school, and we were excited to find an extra curricular activity that he can do regardless of the weather and that won't break the bank!!Carmel Jasmin

From the time I reached out for information til the time my daughter finished her trial class we were met with the friendliest and most helpful staff. My 9 year old is so excited to be part of Kay's Dance Movement studio and cannot wait for her next class! I highly recommend!!Dawnya Wenninger

My daughter has been dancing with the owner for almost a year and all I can say is WOW! In my opinion, her technique and approach to teaching dance is the perfect combination of a serious instructor that provides a structured class with expectations and challenges for the dancers, in a happy and healthy environment with a ton of positive reinforcement. My child is excited to get to dance and strives to make her instructors proud of her. She does this out of respect and love for the art of dance and her instructors. I believe this studio instills a love for life and dance while teaching and motivating the dancers to achieve their very best. Every teacher my daughter has had not only carries years and years of experience as a dancer, but they have a gift for teaching and the patience and ability to instill this upon my child. Bottom line is there are no condescending comments made toward your child here, no teachers favorites, no drama, only excellent instruction provided for your child on and off the dance floor. Two thumbs up from our family!!Christina Crutchfield

Elite Dance of Tulsa has been such a positive experience for my daughter. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and one of the aspects I love most is how they are able to connect with each of the dancers to bring out the best in them. In addition to their commitment to providing top-of-the-line dance skills during weekly classes, there are opportunities to further improve and become involved through their competitive program. Master classes are also offered to enhance the already superb instruction. The potential benefits gained from this experience are priceless. My daughter has made so many friends, learned the value of teamwork, improved in personal discipline and she continues to become a more confident dancer and person. I am also very grateful to be part of such a special group of parents who actively support and encourage each of the dancers. Elite Dance is more than just a dance studio; it’s a dance family!Darcie Anderson

Elite Dance of Tulsa is such an amazing studio!! The owner, Sheri, is a great teacher who genuinely cares about all of her students. I am always so impressed week after week at how she can balance helping those of us who have been dancing for years with those who are new to dance. I have been dancing my whole life but I feel like I have improved tons from taking class just since the studio opened last summer. Everyone at the studio is extremely welcoming and supportive of each other. I definitely recommend taking class at Elite!Paige Bennett

My son is participating in a pilot junior coding program at Code Ninjas – Tulsa. This is for age group 5-7. I observed their 1st day and I am pleased with their ‘Code Sensei’ staff. Most notably the hands on approach to their activities, and the staff’s ability to maintain the children’s interest and wonder as they begin their coding journey! I highly recommend Code Ninjas – Tulsa and their STEM programs!Chris Evangelista

This place is awesome! We've tried the camps, parents nights, drop ins and the minecraft nights! My kid has a blast every time and learns a ton! This is such a great resource for everyone but especially for homeschool kids since it gives them an opportunity for team building and socializing. Every sensei I've talked to has been kind and helpful. My kid gets one on one whenever he needs it.Allie

Our kids come to Code Ninjas every week, for drop in, and for the Junior Program. They look forward to it every time. The Senseis are very helpful in getting the kids engaged in their session, and they are having fun while learning coding. Highly recommended!E-Rock

Monte Cassino is a community, not just a great school. We have a son and daughter and they have been at Monte Cassino from Pre-K though 5th, so far. The education that our kids are receiving is top notch, they are interested learners and are being challenged. The faculty and staff are great to work with, their priority is the kids. We have taken part in and enjoyed the athletic offerings through the school. The parent community is strong, everyone has a hand in making Monte so special.Daryn Bridwell

Monte Cassino is a great school. The faculty and staff challenge each student and as a parent, I find them approachable and easy to work with. We also love the small class sizes and the close knit community throughout the campus.Kelly Butler

Our educational experience at Monte has been superior. We love the small classes, the faculty, and of course, our sisters. Our daughter is very happy there.Regina Mullennix

We have enjoyed several years of bringing our daughter to The Little Gym of SE Tulsa, starting when she was just a year old. There are lots of times to choose from for each age group, including days, evenings, and Saturdays. The price is great for the year, and 20% off if you sign up early enough. I had to come back and add – we just had my daughter's 4th birthday at The Little Gym of SE Tulsa. It was fabulous! The staff incorporated our dinosaur theme throughout the activities that they did with the children. They set everything up, tore down, helped us pack up, kept track of gifts, and much more. 10/10 would do it again.Cassandra Barrow

We love this place so much. We started our girl here in the middle of Covid. She loved every minute of it. The staff is some of the most energetic people I’ve ever met. They love on all the kids and are always there to lift them up and be their biggest cheerleader. The classes are so flexible and teach a varied of things. I recommend them to everyone I know. We have even done a birthday party and have attended one as well. The parties are even better than the classes. I have been to several other “momma and me” classes and this one is by far the best one! We love you guys!Lindsey Johnson

I spoke to Sophie over the phone to find out a little bit of what Little Gym is about. She provided excellent customer service and was very knowledgeable about the payment and enrollment process. My wife is a stay at home mom and our little girl Marlee is 1.5 years old and they're extremely excited as well as I am to join your program. My wife and I wish we knew of Little Gym a long time ago or else we would have been enrolled already. Thank you guys for making us feel welcomed and the excellent service. Best Regards, Zachary.Zack Anglin

Mathnasium has helped my son tremendously. His math skills have increased dramatically. He scored the second highest score for Jenks Middle school for state standardized testing in math. He has maintained an A in all of his math classes including geometry and Algebra 1. He has also gained confidence in math. He loves coming to study math! By the way, the other kid who scored the highest on the math state standardized test is my son's best friend who attends Mathnasium as well and his family referred us to Mathnasium. We couldn't be happier. We are also planning to enroll our younger son into Mathnasium so that he can have a strong foundation in math too! The scheduling is easy. Payments are affordable and the teachers are very good!Melissa Bingham

Mathnasium has been a great experience for my daughter. She has always had a lot of anxiety around math and been struggling for a long time. They are so kind and understanding with her and have really helped to ease that anxiety. There were some aspects of math that were tripping her up that I would have never guessed. They figured it out right away, and now she is much more confident in her understanding.Isabel Haver

Mathnasium has been so fun and easy to work with and so thoughtful toward my little guy. They’ve just gone above and beyond and I’m so grateful we’ve been able to go to Mathnasium. They have helped my boy tremendously. I highly recommend them. Mathnasium has a systematic method of progressing through the various basics of math. It gets the student to the appropriate level in a fun and thorough way!Elora Fite

Best dance facility! The instructors are knowledgeable, professional, and best of all, friendly! We’ve quickly been accepted into the dance pointe family and it’s amazing to see the relationships develop as my daughter and her friends learn new skills together. The classes are very fun and well structured. Many options available for all ages! My favorite (personally) is the aerial silks class! Bri has had extensive training and it shows! Safety is always a top concern for these kinds of classes and she goes above and beyond to make sure you’re practicing safely within your skill level. If you’re looking for a new hobby or for a community to grow with, look no further!! Thank you Dance Pointe!!Laurel Ramirez

This studio is the best around! The staff is kind and knowledgeable. The owner takes the time to know each student and runs a very professional, respectful studio. My daughter is only 6 and when she joined for the first time last year, she was nervous and had no idea what was going on. In one short year, she has improved in tumbling, ballet, and tap and has gained SO much confidence! She loves her teachers and the supportive atmosphere they provide. I love that the costumes are modest and the choreography is wonderful! We will never join another studio like this one.Jackie Simms

I have had children involved at the studio for over 15 years. I’ve had a chance to get to know the employees , the owners, and the students through the years. I frequently recommend this studio because it’s a perfect blend of so many things that a successful, well rounded dance student is looking for. It’s a proper ballet studio with an incredible hip hip program and a competitive dance team, with great choreography for the jazz, tap, and other genres. The recitals are tasteful and the studio has fought, and succeeded, to provide safe performances through 2020.Christina Lanier Fravel

I have health issues and the reason why I am bringing this up is because I tried cancelling my class I understand I have to give 30 days notice BUT I can't forsee everything that is going to happen in the future. I called and left a message and said here are the reasons why I'm quitting because I didn't want to say about my health issues so I said superficial reasons I got a call back and was told I had agreed to terms and conditions which I understand and was told over and over again and felt pressured to say what was really going on there was no sympathy until I said what was the real reason why I was quitting. I understand they are a business but life happens people do not owe you an explanation if it's a super private matter they do not wish to share. I do not have a crystal ball I can't know 30 days ahead of time what my health diagnosis is going to be or what life is going to throw at me. I unfortunately do not have that super power. Anji said that she was going to tell the teacher "you don't have enough money to pay for the class!" Which I heard very clearly but claims she didn't say at all and backtracked completely. She did apologize and not charge the card but people go through things it's called life and not all of it is foreseeable unfortunately.Alma LeMieux-Flores

We have been attending Good Life for music lessons since the summer of 2017. They were recommended to us by a few acquaintances. As soon as I met Jim and Anjanette, I felt welcome and knew that we mattered to them for more than the money we could spend. They both, along with all of the staff, care about the students, the education, and the families involved. My 6 year old and 4 year old each had a free lesson to help discover what instrument they wanted to learn and at what level they needed to start. Both kids have enjoyed their lessons immensely. I liked the environment there so much that when they started a ladies' guitar class, I jumped at the chance. We were all nervous and excited to perform in the fabulous winter program. It was a great success! They have added periodic Achievement Days throughout the year to promote individual goals and growth and to provide for in-depth evaluation. It is done in such a way as to make us feel empowered through our musical abilities and to provide constructive feedback without hindering enthusiasm. Our family has been very happy at Good Life and look forward to continuing our music education with them for a long time to come!Meghan Erne

We have been with Good Life Music and Media Lessons from their start. What a great fit for our family. We value family as well as professionalism and we’ve found them both here! Everything from the teachers, the building arrangement, and the instruction makes my kids feel comfortable to take musical risks and grow to their fullest potential. The founder Jim Korakis truly has a heart to impact children and adults alike to make a difference in the world through the gifts given to them! There is always something up and coming at Good Life: LIVE performances, achievement testing, camps! To have such a competitive music school be wrapped in such warmth and joy is a truly rare combination. I highly recommend this place. Your children will find a special place here!AR

Awesome experience overall. I just completed the EMT course here at Tulsa Tech. The instructors are awesome to say the least. All of the instructors have at least 10-15 years in the field for EMT/ Paramedic .They are very helpful and want people to succeed. It is a great environment and the staff are great. All the way from the top, to the ladies at the front desk as soon as you walk in the doors. I would highly recommend this school if they have a trade that you are wanting to learn and especially for the emt/paramedic courses. You will love it!! You want Mikka House-Moore as your instructor!! she is the booooooooomb!!Jesse Short

This was by far the worst experence of trying to get a cleet license ive ever had. The fire arms course by tim wilkins was great. Then when it came time to go to the peoria canpus for testing, not only was i told you have 10 minutes to drive 20 miles home and back but when i got there was declined to test. They told me to re schedule so notonly did i loose 1 days pay because of this. Now i lost 2 days pay. Whats even worse they dont even have a system to pull up the certificate they issued me in the fire arms course. Worst educational campus ever.DarkReptile DarkDragonGod

Really enjoyed taking the Emergency Medical Technician course here at this campus. The instructors were experienced medics and had vast amounts of insight to the career field. I would recommend this technical school if you plan to pursue a life in the realm of emergency response.C Frusher

If you're looking for a facility that does training the correct way, visit AMBA. The team there is all about the process, getting your kid to the next level the correct way. After pitching my son normally have elbow pain, and after working with the coaches at AMBA they changed his form to the correct method and no more pain. He's also hitting better and is one of the few at the fields for his age that's reading different pitches. The team is great, they are big on following the process rather than just a flavor of the week and coaches the kids to think different. So that they're mentally fit for the situation, while trusting their training.Alvin Sirju

I have known Geoff for 3 years now. He is student of the game as well as a great teacher. He brings an element of compassion and work ethic that is contagious and explains why clients continue to count on and trust Geoff's advice. He has personally help me think through tough some issues with my clients and I know that I can count on him to give solid feedback. If I had son that was wanting to get deep into what it takes to be a next level player I would feel totally comfortable dropping him off at Athletic Mission and knowing he was in good hands.Darrell Coulter

I have been extremely impressed with the development of my son under Geoffs direction. The methods Geoff uses to insure proper technique and mechanics for pitching and hitting are second to none and the proof is in the results. What impresses me most is the fact that Geoff is not a "cookie cutter" coach. He realizes that not all kids take direction the same way and at the same speed. What might work for 1 player may not work well for another. I know that my son has a program made specific for him.Andy Strong

My son is getting math and writing tutoring from Tulsa Tutor Doctor. My son’s tutor, Lisa, is very flexible with scheduling the sessions around my work schedule and the kids’ activities. Lisa also does a great job tutoring my son in regards to his recent adhd diagnosis. I think that he has made great strides in his math and writing skills in just the past few months. And I look forward to this upcoming school year.C Falgout

Seth really took the time to find what works best for my son and met him on a level he could understand. My son looks forward to every session. And the sessions he has received have done wonders for his self confidence and overall attitude towards learning. The initial meetings were very detail oriented and focused on what was best for my son specifically to help him achieve his educational goals.Sedaia Wright

Working with Tutor Doctor was incredible! Jenny and her team of highly qualified specialists, really take the time to get to know you and your child and genuinely care about finding the best fit for your family. The in home services they provide are a life saver for busy families like mine. Look no further, this is the best in class solution you have been searching for!Cailyn Gustafson

Steve and Ginger Oliver are great people to work with and make the OREA a great place for in person, live CE classes. The Brokers In Charge class was the perfect way to get so many credits in one place at one time. Ron Sumner, Steve Oliver and Bryan Edwards were all great teachers that made the class interesting and interactive. I highly recommend it to any real estate agent, regardless of what broker company you work for, and regardless of if you are a licensee or broker. It was full of useful information and I will definitely do this again when I need my CE credit hours in the future.Cindy Bourque

I have attended many classes at the Oklahoma Real Estate Academy. I most recently attended the Broker-In-Charge course. I highly recommend it to those seeking continuing education credits. It was a three day, 15 credit hour course. I found it to be a really rewarding experience. The class was very collaborative and interactive. As a new agent taking the course, I found the amount of experience and knowlege shared between the instructors and other students to be very valuable. I will chose Oklahoma Real Estate Academy from here on out for all my continuing education.Jennifer LaRose

My friend referred me to this class, and I could not have been more pleased with the education I received! The entire Oliver family was a pleasure to work, they were all very knowledgeable, made the class fun and enjoyable and genuinely were invested in the students success in real estate. I recommend this class to anyone looking to get their licensee or brokers license in the state of Oklahoma!! I took the in person class and the very next week passed my exam on the first try!!Kiera Proud

My two year old loves swim classes with Tulsa Lifeguard Pro and his swim teacher Danika. She's so sweet and patient with the kids (and parents) while teaching us the skills to teach them and encouraging them to try the skills we learn each class. I have actually seen improvement on his water skills with only a few sessions (mind you we are talking about toddlers!). My son even told me he was going to go to swim class and stay with his "peacher" (he has said that about no one ever! Lol). I felt very confident from day one when Katie, the head instructor, took the time to answer my questions with the upmost professionalism and care. Very pleased with our experience.N & G

Because of Katie I spent 5 years as a swim instructor and a life guard. Katie provided the training required as well as extra knowledge that would have taken years to gain from my own experience. Katie taught me to swim from a young age and continued to improved my own technique as I reached my twenties. Tulsa life guard pro is the perfect place to gain the certificate for one of the best jobs. I’ve received all of my LG training (aside from on job training) from Katie/ TLGPBonnie Buie

I've been taking my children fitness program for many years and always leave impressed with the improvements made each time. Our family spends a lot of time in the water during the summer and the detail and professionalism of Katie and her staff I've added comfort and confidence each time are children's step foot in the water. Highly recommend choosing them to help keep your children safe.Michael Anthamatten
