Not good. My kid stuck it out but here’s what I learned:
There was no instruction. The kids just sat down and drew. They were invited to bring their iPads from home to look up images that inspired them.
We did the 1/2 day camp. Showing up at 12:30, the instructor said it was now lunchtime. That’s not what was on the itinerary. The instructor seemed like she was really not very interested in leading this class.
My kid said no one spoke, there were no introductions, the kids didn’t really talk to each other. They just sat inside and drew.
When I picked my kid up, I learned most people leave a little early. I suppose everyone was a little bored.
I would advise against Art School of S.F. Bay for summer camp, even in a pinch.

Hi Joey,
While we understand a student may occasionally dislike something about a camp, “Not teaching” is a serious accusation. And it is not true, please see for yourself:
We record our classes for the quality & security purposes, and we have carefully examined the footage from the days and hours Lydia was at the camp. Here are the timelines:
August 7:
1 hour 15 min of instruction+presentation, then after 10 min break the teacher starts walking around and correcting student's works.
Students learn to draw a chibi.
August 8:
1 hour of lecture + presentation, the rest is advising students. Students learn to draw a full figure.
August 9:
40 minutes of lecture, the rest is working with each student individually, either they come to her or she walks around the tables.
Students start working on a panel strip, coming up with the story and selecting page designs.
August 10:
The continuation of panel design, students start inking. 20 min lecture, straight after that - correcting students works non-stop.
Students finish penciling and start inking.
August 11:
Teacher walks around the tables, working with each student individually.
Final touches, coloring the frames. Some students are working on the covers for their comics.
Also, the kids in the videos are talking to the teacher and to each other.
We have contacted you to schedule the viewing of the videos (we can not email them to you, but can show them at our studio).
I am sure it will fix the misunderstanding.
Thank you,
Maria

My daughter brought home some very creative art work at the end of the week and enjoyed the Manga Art class.

The full day session will consist of morning (9am-12pm), lunch break 12-12:30pm and noon session (12:30-3:30pm). There could be 5 min breaks during the day, depending on the group (per teacher's decision). Hope it helps! -
