With all that we have endured this past year, families are thrilled at the prospect of kids going back to weekly day camps/programs this summer. Parents who have been at-home teachers, athletic coaches and sibling referees are ready for a respite from their precious kiddos. With so many camps safely returning to operation this June, there are a plethora of choices where your child can thrive and enjoy their summer break – while giving mom and dad a break too! Due to all the cabin-fever from the past 12 months, and with vaccines allowing society to open up more and more, the pent-up demand means camps are filling up quickly. Read about all your options in our Camp Guide and book your camps today.

AA4K’s virtual summer camp option also made it more feasible for kids to sign up for multiple sessions, and it allowed those from outside Orange County to attend last year. “We had kids signing up from all over the country. We even had one kid from China, who got up at 4 a.m. to attend,” Zygo said. “The virtual crew became friends on TikTok, Instagram, and other platforms. They created all kinds of fun stuff together — and they all met at our camps.”

In the theater, Zygo and the AA4K staff had to determine how to facilitate in-person productions, where students could interact safely and have fun. The team designed a unique approach which allowed them to perform while social distancing. Students also received daily temperature checks and were required to wear masks. “Over the 9-week period last summer, we did not have a single COVID case,” Zygo said. “Our students and parents can trust us; we are following every CDC COVID guideline.”

PARENTS & KIDS RAVE THAT AA4K

IS THE BEST IN THE OC!

BY VAL VANDERPOOL

When the COVID-19 pandemic forced the world into lockdown last spring, Acting Academy for Kids (AA4K) immediately focused on how to safely operate its long-running theater and performing arts programs for kids and teens.

By July of 2020, AA4K co-founders Stephen and Maggie Zygo developed a way to host small, in-person summer camps, enabling students to continue acting, singing and dancing — while following CDC guidelines. During a time when the pandemic had all but decimated in-person events and most other youth activities, AA4K’s summer camps provided kids and teens with an opportunity to make new friends, create fun memories and build confidence — all in a safe environment.

“This year, we will continue to operate, rain or shine, following every required CDC and state protocol. We’ve always been leaders in youth safety, so we can confidently say that kids will be safe, and they will walk away from our camps with an awesome experience,” said Zygo, who founded AA4K with his wife Maggie in 2008.

Stephen holds dual degrees in elementary education and musical theater, and both Stephen and Maggie hold Master’s Degrees in education.

From June 7 to August 13, AA4K will offer weeklong, in-person summer camps in Irvine/Tustin and Mission Viejo. To accommodate families who prefer to have their children participate from home, a virtual component will also be offered. This year’s performances will include Evil Descendants 2, Aladdin’s Magic Lamp, Matilda, Harry Potter, and several others. Until the guidelines change to be able to gather in front of a live audience again, AA4K’s final camp performances will be live-streamed and professionally filmed and edited, every Friday, for families to watch and share.

AA4K offers a $25 sibling discount, and a multiple camp discount when registering for more than one camp at a time. Register today, as space is limited!

The Academy’s flagship location in Mission Viejo features a state-of-the-art theater complete with LED lighting wall, professional sound, and plenty of space for students to safely perform and interact. AA4K’s virtual class component allows even more kids to participate in its performing arts program.

Like so many adapting to the new normal of online life in 2020, Zygo said it took days of research and experimentation to create a virtual solution, drawing on the expertise and experience of his team, the broader theater community, and his brother — an 8-time Tony Award winner. “In the process, we became a leader in virtual theater production,” he said. “Other groups were able to glean information and inspiration from us. We all were just trying to figure out how to make it work, and fortunately, our team created an experience that was phenomenal for so many kids!”

LOCAL CONTRACTOR SPOTLIGHT

SOUTH COUNTY RESTORATION Casey McCants When water damage strikes, the resulting mold and other health hazards can wreak havoc on your health and home. Before you call your insurance provider, call San Clemente-based South County Restoration. Business owner Casey McCants will help you file a claim and even advocate on your behalf to ensure you’re properly covered. Since 2008, his team of dedicated professionals has been providing emergency water restoration, but he knows that working with insurers can be just as messy. That’s why he shares his time and expertise to help his clients.

“He knows what to ask for,” Annmarie McCants says. "If you have to move to a hotel while the house is not habitable, Casey fights to make sure your living expenses are covered. He spends hours on the phone. It takes legwork.”

“Insurance companies want you to use their vendors and do the least amount of work to repair your home,” Casey added, "but that’s where South Country Restoration stands out."

His team conducts a thorough investigation of the damage, suggests a long-term solution, and works to make sure it’s done right. Whether the job requires demolition, mold removal, or a basic dry-out, his team is committed to getting your family back in a safe and healthy home quickly.

They also have a dedicated team that only does repipes. In just one day, your home can be repiped and have running water that very night. His restoration team can repair the drywall as soon as the next day.

With a 24/7 Rapid Response Team standing by, and a 49 minute arrival time, call South County Restoration when trouble arises. Check out SouthCountyRestoration.com for more details.

Big box providers don’t have the time or inclination to help their clients, but South County Restoration has and always will be a community-based company. Helping neighbors recover from water damage and get prompt compensation from their insurer is what Casey’s team does best.

LOCAL CONTRACTOR SPOTLIGHT

FIRST TEAM REAL ESTATE Brian Barney AN ALASKAN IN OC Born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, Brian Barney is a real estate agent with 22 years of construction and general contractor experience. He’s built custom homes in the rugged Alaskan landscape, crafted coastal estates in places like Laguna Beach, and even served as construction lead on a popular HGTV show. With over 300 new homes and over 3.5 million square feet of commercial and residential space under his belt, Brian is truly unique — a home expert, who’s also a realtor.

“I can walk into a house and know that if you invest $15,000 in a kitchen, within a specific period of time, you’ll receive a certain return on investment,” he says. “I can determine, just by looking at a house, where your money is best spent.”

Clients appreciate his eye for structural quality and ability to envision a home’s potential, but also his honesty. “I always ask

my clients, ‘is this your short-term, 5-year, or forever home?’ Because if this is your forever home, then we should implement a new strategy.”

An outdoorsman since birth, Brian has a deep respect for nature. His childhood home was warmed by a wood-burning stove and he lived a genuinely sustainable lifestyle before anyone had coined the phrase. His Alaskan heritage inspired him to become LEED AP Building Design + Construction (LEED AP BD+C) certified, so he can help you build and maintain a healthy home, choose the most energy efficient appliances, and ensure that it’s well-insulated.

Ready to see where your money is best spent?

Learn more about Brian at BrianBarney.FirstTeam. com and discover what a home expert can do for you.

Now based in San Clemente, this father of three is ready to make his mark in the Orange County real estate market. “I pride myself on being a family man. I love showing my children all that California has to offer and help them appreciate this beautiful state.”

CECILIA’S INTERIORS Cecilia Durkin At Cecilia’s Interiors, they take pride in every stitch they make! Since1969, Cecilia Durkin has been beautifying residential, business and marine interiors in South Orange County. She’s seen styles and fabrics change drastically since she started her business over 50 years ago. With her daughter, Lisa, diligently by her side, these two expert seamstresses have no need to ship out their client’s work. All projects are completed in the on-site workroom, within their corner showroom, located next to Mulligans in the industrial section of North San Clemente.

“It’s hard to believe I’ve been in business here for fifty years. We originally started up on Del Mar in the 70s, before making our way down to our current location. Our customers are extremely loyal and their referrals have continued to keep our business steady,” shares Cecilia.

Cecilia’s Interiors offers a wide range of products and services to fit its clients’

needs and lifestyles. The company proudly stands behind all of its work. Cecilia and Lisa believe in quality craftsmanship and they use only the best materials for their projects. Specializing in custom draperies and valances, furniture re-upholstery, slip covers and complete bed ensembles (bedspreads, skirts and shams), they welcome any job, no matter how big or small. For your convenience, the showroom houses an array of fabrics to complete your custom job, to suit your style and taste.

The company’s rave reviews speak for themselves. Ellendea T. in San Clemente recently posted on Yelp, “I entrusted my two Louis XVI chairs to Cecilia for reupholstering and was delighted with her work.

Given the superb attention to detail, I would say the cost is quite reasonable.

I highly recommend her. She is often busy, so book ahead for your project.”

They are available for on-site consultations and estimates. As Cecilia smiles, she says, “We look forward to adding you to our long list of delighted clients!”

THE ORIGINAL DESIGN TO SELL FIRM When paying a real estate agent to sell your home, you should realize a clear RETURN on your investment.

“I couldn't be happier with my experience with Robyn. Even though I'm a broker, and have a masters degree and a career in real estate development, I chose Robyn to handle my personal transaction. She was highly knowledgeable, professional and responsive, and staged the house beautifully. But her vision to make targeted improvements to the house were creative, on point and very profitable. She's excellent!”

12/19/2020 I would recomment the Gentle Genie to anyone who is thinking about cleaning their rug. Stains or dirt... this is the absolute best company to use. I bought a designer rug at a consigment store recently and worried that the stains would be impossible to remove. The in-studio eight step cleaning process brought this beautiful oriental rug back to life! The owner is very consistent and communicates how the process works and delivers services at a value which was beyond my expectation. Fantastic and will use again! Thank you!
