Ivy Camps USA

Welcome to the most disorganized organization you can ever see. Maybe they are good at talking and writing( I have my doubts about that too) but organization, a total whopping 0/10. They are way overpriced for what they offer in terms of content and delivery. Very unprofessional and disorganized . Really not sure how they got all 5 star ratings. Makes me think it’s all cooked up. Why overpriced? It turns out to be $42 per session for 90 minutes for which the instructor either comes in late or like 2/10 times doesn’t show up. I later learned the instructor was sick. Maybe the instructor was the only person that ran the organization. No one else knew she was sick and couldn’t update a waiting customer. We wait for 15 minutes send a note out and left. What else can we do? There is no one to answer the questions.
Why disorganized? For those two classes where the instructor didn’t show up, they changed the instructor. Kids have built a rapport with the initial instructor that makes sense for them to continue with the same person. Their unprofessionalism should not be affecting my kid’s education that they promised. I asked them to give me the same instructor. For that they said that can be done only a month later as she had other commitments. I have other commitments after this course as well for my kids. I cannot be available forever giving them how much ever time they need to complete their courses. So, I asked them to set it up with the new person. They did and those two classes were very good, I could see the motivation and excitement in the kids.

I reached out to the director and she said they are fixing their processes to monitor and correct better and faster. Would have been great it had been corrected before my kids’ sessions. 🤷‍♀️

Review from my kid: He laughingly said that the instructor asked them to not use words like “umm”, “uhh” when pausing a speech but she was doing that herself a LOT. We learned something in the last two classes as the instructor was good, but nothing much in the first 8 classes.

Excellent! My kids love Ivy Camps! The college instructors are so much fun and great role models. My kids can't wait to show off what they made in camp (we did arts and crafts)! Looking forward to STEAM Camp this summer!

Ivy Camps USA is truly one of the best camps that I have ever experienced. My kids are always engaged, even in the online format, in ways that not even an in-person program can do. The quality of staff from the top schools, along with the engaging programming, is one of a kind.

My girl has always appreciated learning new things but usually gets bored easily when her interest isn’t piked. This camp kept her interested every step of the way, there wasn’t a dull a moment, she absolutely loved attending and we look forward to continue enrolling her!
