PlanetBravo has been celebrating children’s talents in STEM since 2003, and what started in 2003 as a little camp in Beverly Hills is now described as LA's largest and most popular summer STEM program for kids. The program notes that it has been bringing students fun, engaging STEM-based instruction for over 20 years and is currently the largest STEM summer camp in Los Angeles. It also offers a Junior STEM camp with its own dedicated curriculum and team of teachers, as well as GATE and a girls club called “Code Like a Girl.”

PlanetBravo reports a 10:1 student-teacher ratio, a 1:1 device-student ratio with each camper getting a personal computer for the entire week, and a balance of time indoors on computers and outdoors playing games. It is described as LA's #1 STEM Camp and Curriculum Provider, has been voted #1 STEM Camp on ActivityHero.com, and is referred to as an award-winning summer camp and “PlanetBravo STEM Education LA's #1 STEM program since 2003.” The organization is also a provider of in-school computer instruction and one-to-one teacher training for technology integration, and it notes that it offers budget-friendly rates while maintaining high academic standards, with eight locations in Los Angeles and Orange Counties and Summer 2026 enrollment open.

PlanetBravo’s mission statement says that in a world shaped by technology, it uses tech as a tool, not the focus, to help children express themselves, build confidence, and discover their unique talents, and that its mission for over 20 years has been to bring students fun, engaging STEM-based instruction that boosts their confidence and gives them skills for the modern world. The program has been involved in broader media and education efforts, including consulting for the Randi Zuckerberg animated series “Dot,” consulting on a parent safety segment for Good Morning America in 2016, being featured on PBS NewsHour in 2015 for the Code Like a Girl program, and being highlighted in a 2016 Fortune Magazine piece titled “How to Revitalize Schools with Tech.”

Parent testimonials describe children learning code and Photoshop, playing Minecraft and Dodgeball, and talking about wanting to return the next summer. Parents frequently mention counselors and instructors as positive, fun, encouraging, organized, and professional, and several note that their children were eager to attend, reluctant to leave, and interested in coming back for additional weeks. Multiple parents refer to PlanetBravo as “one of the best ever,” “best camp ever,” or “one of the best summer camps out there,” and some specifically mention safety measures such as signing in and out and chaperoning kids to the restroom.
