What families say
“My kids absolutely love this camp! There is variation throughout the day and week so they’re always engaged. The instructors are thoughtful and inspire the kids to create!” — Kari W.
“My son loves doing the art. He likes that the structure exists, but that the way kids engage with it is up to them, and that they can spend time doing the activity or have some time to themselves outside or in the loft upstairs. I love that it is totally unplugged and STEM-oriented.” — Rachel D.
“Loved the open play with counselors around if needed but not instructing them constantly.” — Kristin S.
