You nailed it! The fact that my kids want to keep coming back week after week to experience a new theme is fascinating, since they have never shown such a high interest in any other camp before.

This is the most exciting Traditional and STEM camp combo program my children have ever been a part of. The unique aspect of having the kids use their creative and explorative sides combined with the fact that they get to spend quality time outside and NOT behind a screen all day is a huge BONUS!

Allison G.

My kiddos are completely obsessed with your camp programs. I’m not sure how you are able to engage the younger group for an entire day, but not only have you accomplished that challenge – my Ami and Jon don’t even want to leave the aftercare program. Please thank the instructors for a great summer. PS. The free extended care option is perfect for my schedule. Love, love, love your camp!

Wendy H.

Thanks for a wonderful week of exploration and discovery. Michael had the time of this life. We are now teaching the kids in the neighborhood how to race drones. I love that most of the program was outside – thanks for providing a positive outlet for opening the minds of our future generation.

Day Camp for my little one has been the highlight of the summer. There are no words to describe how this camp has literally changed our lives. Sounds ridiculous, but Luke had his alarm set this morning and could not wait to begin.

Emily M.

My son could not stop talking about camp last night. This is the most excited I have seen him all year! He’s packing his own lunch in the morning and saying ‘thanks for the ride’ at drop-off. Keep teaching those life lessons!”

Lisa V.

Daily instructional swimming is a huge asset to your camp! My 4-year old twins are learning so much and cannot wait to share when they arrive home. Ozzie, the camp mascot, is so cool! What a great surprise to see him this morning during morning drop-off.
