It was our second time participating Aviation camp. Last summer camp and this winter camp were both great. They were very responsive to questions/requests. The activities were well structured. My kid brought back lots of fun things (usually science-related) back home to play with every day. We will definitely enroll again.

My son really enjoys this camp. (I'm not sure if it's because he stays with his grandparents while he's there, and because they buy him a present in the gift shop?) The counselors always seem caring and he seems to learn interesting new stuff. They have made great strides over the years with organization, too -- the camp has evolved quite a bit and seems to have only gotten better. The only draw back is you do come home with a lot of projects, activities and prizes that are mostly plastic and paper and we end up having to dispose of.
