There is too much unstructured play time. Students spend a maximum of 4 hours a day at the program, but…

Last year, during winter break my family and I went to Cabo, Mexico which is located on the tip of the peninsula of the part of Mexico that is under California. It took a lot of begging over the years to get my mom to take us to Mexico but she finally gave in and she doesn’t regret it a single bit. My vacation to Cabo was and still is the best vacation I have been on. Right as we stepped out of the airport in Cabo, the warm humid air instantly hit us and we couldn’t wait to get to the resort…
