  Minecraft Chocolate Camp: Chocolate History, Games and Builds

  There were enjoyable elements like the projects and read-alouds, but the single weekly 55-minute lesson felt too long for my younger child and too basic for older kids. Good if the pacing matched your child's age better.

  Pitched & Percussion Ensemble: Xylophone, Ocarina & Hand Percussion

  This was exactly what we hoped for — a friendly introduction to pitched and unpitched percussion with attention to music elements and ensemble performance. Over the eight weeks my child became more confident switching between instruments and loved working on the three pieces they chose. The single 25-minute lesson each week fit our schedule and kept them engaged without being overwhelming.

  Ancient History Writing (IEW Level B)

  Overall very positive—my 14-year-old appreciated the practice writing from notes and composing from pictures, though we wished there were more than one 50-minute lesson per week.

  Introductory Biology: Cells, Cell Division, DNA, and Genetics

  Solid introductory biology course. The 50-minute weekly lessons over six weeks were a good length for keeping my 8-year-old interested without overwhelming them.
