Both of my kids (my 6-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter) attended summer camp at STEMTREE of…read moreSouth Irvine, and they absolutely loved it. The programs were engaging, hands-on, and thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity in STEM. They came home excited every single day, and that enthusiasm speaks volumes --especially for my 6-year-old. I was nervous at first about sending him because I wasn't sure if he'd be engaged, if he might be too young, or if he'd make friends. But there were plenty of kids his age, and he had fun every day. One afternoon I told him I'd pick him up an hour early, and he actually asked if he could stay the full day because he wanted to finish his coding project. As a mom, that was amazing to hear. My daughter also had a great experience. She made new friends her age, and it was wonderful to see plenty of girls participating in the program as well. The instructors at STEMTREE are kind, knowledgeable, and truly invested in helping kids learn and grow. We're grateful for the positive experiences both of our children have had here, and we highly recommend STEMTREE to any families looking for a fun and interesting STEM learning environment. We definitely plan to return for another summer!

This summer my son wanted to try robotics, so we signed up for one week of camp -- he loved it so much we ended up doing three weeks in a row! Every day he came home excited about the robots and 3D modeling projects he built. Now he's asking to study robotics long term and even join their team. I'm so grateful this camp sparked his passion. The whole staff is super organized and supportive -- definitely the highlight of our summer!

Not to worry.. this was one of the best camps / decisions I've ever made! My son's math skills are incredible but his writing / English is not. This camp really helped him focus on how to create a story, using storyboards, creating characters etc etc And when there were issues, and of course there were, the head counselor Jami was there to calm him down. She also explained to the other kids what he was going through. I recommend with 5 stars!!

It's kind of unbelievable how "fun" the counselors and the camp were able to make the curriculum. -Extremely well organized in terms of communication to parents -Beautiful facility (Crean Lutheran). Cons: -There was one portion of the day that my kids weren't crazy about (e-book). Bottom Line: -I asked my kids on the last day of camp if they'd like to sign up next summer, and I received a resounding "yes!" from all three kids. I would definitely recommend this camp.

We had Jarret come out with the mini diggers for my son's 4th birthday at the park and everything…read morewent great! Jarret showed up early to set up and though his generator didn't work, he had very long power cords for back up and made magic happen! It was also perfect that he had umbrellas on each end to provide shade for the seats. My son, his friends, and our friends had such a good time! Jarret was on the trailer the whole time to help the kiddos figure out the levers. He made sure there were gems, coins, or other trinkets in the scoops for the kiddos. He provided coins and gems and I added some dinosaur eggs in the mix. Jarret was great about his communication the entire time and very pleasant on the day of, as well. We were all super duper impressed with BookMiniDigger. I highly recommend!

Just revisiting this and realized Jarrett responded to my review!…read more Gosh I am usually pretty good about moving on from things but this *still* bothers me a year later, how awful and sad is that :( I was going to open a business at the union market tustin (closed now) several years back but the owners of that place were crooked and dishonest and stole thousands from me and several other small business owners, and I've even let that go lol! But something about this just still gets me. Honestly, I think it was the way Jarrett handled things after he flaked on my son's party that I can't let go of. I should have recorded how Jarrett spoke to me - it's still pretty vivid in my memory. In response to "as I said to you before" and "as I mentioned offline I am embarrassed and feel terrible that we missed your booking" Jarrett, while I appreciate the sentiment of your response, let me make a couple things VERY clear: YOU NEVER APOLOGIZED or took responsibility for how you treated me that day. The text messages I posted in my yelp review are literally the last correspondence we have. As I mentioned in my first review, I had to follow up with you to get the refund of my deposit. I'm not sure when you mentioned you felt embarrassed or terrible because all I literally heard on the phone when we spoke was you SCREAMING at me with excuses when I was just telling you how disappointed I was, and then I got hung up on. So disrespectful. Do you deny it? Because I noticed there are still no apologies or taking ownership for why you YELLED at me the morning of my son's party, minutes before it started and minutes before you were *supposed* to be there! I got off the phone in tears and shaking from how you spoke to me. My friend who was helping me at the party and my husband can testify. Look I get it, I can loose my temper too but I've never yelled at a total stranger, let alone a customer, the way you yelled at me. and when I do loose my temper, I always acknowledge and apologize to whoever I yelled at. (usually my spouse) I received not one follow-up message from you expressing any sentiment remotely close to an apology or admitting fault, wrongdoing, or acknowledgement that it wasn't right to yell like that. Honestly, if you had just apologized and taken responsibility for canceling instead of screaming at me, maybe the outcome for all of this would have been better. I'm glad you've taken measures to not let the "unforseen issues" cause you to cancel parties the morning of but hopefully you've also learned to control your temper and not yell at mother's who are just trying to throw a party for their kid. It seems like you've received many 5-star reviews since mine, wow that's great- I so deeply wish that could have been my experience too. While of course I believe in second chances and I do appreciate your offer of making this right, I just am pretty traumatized by the whole thing and truly wish things could have gone differently for us. I also don't know why my photos I uploaded of our conversation aren't showing up, seems like someone reported them and got them removed, but I'm reposting them again.
