My 8 year old son loved this camp. It was his first time attending. We have been trying different camps for the past couple years and we will definitely sign him up for more weeks next year. The camp was structured really great with science, outside time and art. He loved his teacher and had a lot of fun building animal machines.

My 8 year old had so much fun this year and last year. We will definitely be continuing next year. He gets to build machines, make art, play with new friends, etc. He thinks his teachers are great and he leaves feeling happy and good about himself. Communication with parents is straightforward and clear and we’ve been really satisfied.

Yes- We have pivoted all our programming to zoom virtual classes for the safety of the community as a response to COVID-19. We will have custom material kits available for pick up the Saturday before camp at the Mission Library gazebo in Santa Clara. We can deliver the package for an extra charge upon request. Our virtual camps included ALL materials for you to keep! This includes quality art supplies and custom craft kits and supplies. Thanks! Ildiko -
