Parent feedback includes comments that a counselor named Camille helped a young camper feel comfortable starting a new camp, that a child wished a robotics camp session were longer because of how much fun he had, and that one camper became more talkative at home and shared a lot about her group and coach. Another parent described the program as well rounded across the STEAM range, said her child enjoys attending each day, and highlighted an instructor, Ms. Sierra, as helpful, kind, bright, and enthusiastic about her work.
