Parent feedback includes comments that a counselor named Camille helped a young camper feel comfortable starting a new camp without knowing anyone, and that a child wished the robotics camp was longer because of how much fun he had. Other parents report that their child became more talkative at home with more to share about their group and coach, and that the program is well rounded across the STEAM range, more enriched than an average after care program, and staffed by helpful, kind instructors such as Ms. Sierra.
