 “We both give the camp a 10/10 and that's a lot coming from being an educator myself!” 

Camp Parent, Summer 2022

"I can't say enough about the amazing staff. My active boys LOVE the fun themes and activities, I love that the Children's Science Center Lab makes learning and STEM so fun and engaging. Often my sons' curious minds walk away motivated to learn more which is what makes this mom secretly happiest of all."
