Yocum Institute for Arts Education — Attraction in Spring Township

Booked a drawing class for my daughter over the summer. She basically sat there drawing whatever she wanted with no actual teaching. I went to drop her off last week and she said it was cancelled. I thought it was just that one class. To be sure, I went to check on the class and every session is cancelled. So I called to inquire about the class. I was told that the summer class runs on a different schedule so it's only four weeks even though everything that I booked online said that it was going to run from the beginning of June to mid August.
