My son learned SO much! He positively LOVED the Lego Camp. The instructors were really involved.
My daughter said that the activities at Sports Zone were awesome and every day she came home she was excited.
My son had more fun than I imagined he would at Stomp Camp! The performance was awesome for just a week of camp!
The nature center location really gives the camp a 'camp' feel. I like that the kids spent a lot time outside studying nature.
My son loved fishing camp. He told me it is the best camp he has ever been to. The counselors were fun, energetic and "cool"
The kids made up their own play and acted it out for the families! Our daughter loved it and she is a shy kid. It was great for her personal growth.
It's was an unusual & valuable experience for the kids. Rare to find archaeology camps. Loved visiting actual dig site, lab & archaeologists.
The enthusiasm of the counselors and the fact that this gave my daughter lots of time to practice swimming and learn something new
