Our Customers are saying good things:

The staff for this session were so kind and caring. My daughter did NOT want to attend the camp and it ended up being one of her favorites! Thank you to everyone who gave their time to make this such a fun experience for her.

My son LOVED this camp! He came home every day saying it was the best day ever.

The camp staff were always friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable leaving my child with them for the day. Professor Ghost was especially kind and shared positive and encouraging words about our daughter, which meant a great deal.

My 7 year old LOVED the Suds, Spas, & Science camp and said she wished it was 80 weeks long. I love the mix between science and spa/wellness things!

"The camp instructors were very engaging with the students throughout the camp, and they were consistently being fun while relaying the content of the camp. This is quite a value-add activity for a Summer Camp."

"This was an awesome camp. My child really learned a lot. This camp triggered my child to use their imagination, learn science and technology, all while having fun!"

"Super fun and engaging! Our dinner conversations were elevated by the interesting areas of exploration! Many thanks!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to tell you how much the children and teachers enjoyed the Nutty Scientists. Thank you for making the children such a part of the program. Having the children come up and work on the experiment along with the scientist added to their learning experience. I have not seen the children so engaged in an activity as much as they were watching the scientists. Thank you again for the wonderful experience."

"Fairytale STEAM Camp was awesome! What a fun way to approach science experiments! My daughter animatedly described the day’s activities, and I loved the little science journal she kept. Staff were very friendly and appeared to have as much fun as the kids. This camp rocked!"
