“My kids absolutely loved the summer STEAM CAMPS. I would sign my kids up for a month if they were offered! They still talk about it and loved that they broke up the day with water park trips.”
“My daughter LOVED the Art Factory camp, and Science camp. We want to do them all. Great staff. Love that kids get to be in the College using their facilities. So authentic.”
“My child was 6 and absolutely loved the Lego Robotics and Mad Scientist camps. I would have enrolled him all summer long if it was available. He also really enjoyed the time at the water park. I think for his age including the water park was a great way to let them run off steam :)”
