What families say

“The Nutty Scientists camp was filled to capacity both weeks it was offered. Feedback about the program was very positive and was evident on the faces of smiling and excited children as they left camp every day. Nutty Scientists is an important part of the Community Center’s offerings…any community would be well served offering a unique and educational program such as theirs.” — Ana Colls, Key Biscayne Community Center Manager
