The "councilors" were barely paying attention to the kids, the room was filled with children between the ages of 6-13? without appropriate games or activities. Complete chaos any time I dropped off or picked up. I saw one councilor alone with clearly more than 40 kids by themselves. The food pictures my nephew sent were terrible. kids were in and out without any kind of supervision. I could not be more disappointed in a camp. It did not feel safe to send my nephew here for Summer camp after a horrible spring break camp experience.

The class price was $75 and covered instruction, materials, Mimosas, and delicious brunch fare. I opted to attend solo and was lucky enough to make a few crafting pals during the class.

We got to use sticks instead of dowels and there was brunch served. Brunch included hard-boiled eggs, coffee, fruits and a quiche. There was trendy/cool music playing in the background and the space was nice because there were lots of arts-and-crafts tools laying all around. My only objection is how expensive the class is. This place hosts all kinds of different arts and crafts events for both adults and kids.

This review includes the email that I sent to the camp manager. He was incredibly rude and short…read morewith me - there was no apology at all, however they did refund my money for that week. We have been to the camps before, but this year it was beyond disappointing. Our daughter is enrolled in the 2-week camp: 7/26 - 8/6 and we have to tell you how disappointing this week has been. First of all, the counsellors are great and Grey really liked them - we have no complaints there. We want to bring to your attention just how the kids spent the week: Day 1: they went canoeing in a lake where the water is so filthy and toxic that the kids were told they could not get in the water at all and to make sure the water didn't go near their mouths as they would get extremely sick. Day 2: they went on a bike ride and were taken to a trail that was completely exposed and offered no shade. Ultimately, they could only ride for 30+ minutes before they had to call it quits as the kids were overheating. When the 100+ degree weather is taken into consideration, this seems like a ridiculous activity and a poor choice of bike path. Apparently they spend most of the day sitting under a tree to escape the heat. Day 3: a hike was planned but apparently one of the kids forgot their medication so once at their destination, they all sat around and waited over an hour for the child's mother to arrive with the medication. Once that was over they "hiked" for literally 20 minutes before loading up and driving back. Day 4: this was another water day an equally filthy lake. Even though the temperature was over 100 degrees, they couldn't jump in the lake. Day 5: this was the only day our daughter enjoyed because they finally went to a lake where they could jump in the water. When one takes into account the $100/day price tag we pay for your camp to show our children the kind of summertime outdoor adventures we as parents would have enjoyed taking them on ourselves, it seems as though all we paid for in the end was an elaborate daycare.

My daughter went to an Avid camp for the second year in a row this past summer and I think she…read moreliked it even more than the year before! Last year, at 5 years old, she attended the cycling camp. She learned some basics and loved the counselors, who were so wonderful - encouraging, patient and upbeat. This year, she attended the Explorer Camp - canoe, kayak, cycling and hiking. Every day when we picked her up, she talked glowingly about the fun they had doing the activity of the day and how much she wanted to do more. Her cycling is now solid and we are taking family rides as much as possible - one of my favorite mommy-moments is when we are all together on bikes, enjoying the outdoors and she is on her own bike. She absolutely loves it. Both years, my husband and I have been impressed with the organization of the camp - the friendly, happy counselors and how happy our kiddo is when we pick her up. She is learning about loving the outdoors in a fun, safe and encouraging environment with great people showing her the way. How great is that?!?

We can't say enough about Silicon STEM Academy! We love them!…read more (1) Customer-Focused: John and Kelly are the founders and they are truly the nicest business owners you will ever meet! They know everyone's name and when you're new, they go out of their way to introduce themselves and get to know your child. As soon as our child walked in the doors, it was like home away from home. John and Kelly started the enrichment after-school program (they also have camps) because they were inspired by their own son when he was growing up. He was really into tech/innovation and less into sports, and there wasn't anything out in the market for kids like him. Everyone there is super passionate about their programs, and you can tell they really enjoy their jobs. (2) Kid-Friendly: Besides the founders and staff who are wonderful with the kids of all ages, their facility is set up with different fun innovation/work spaces for students. They also offer a wide variety of classes from coding, to battle bots, to stop motion animation, etc. Every other Friday they also offer a 3-hour drop off window where parents leave their kids there to do all sorts of fun activities while the parents get adult time. (3) Parent-Friendly: John and Kelly are great about getting feedback from parents. They are always open to questions and super patient when explaining things to the parents. They have open houses where the entire family is invited to do projects in their space. For example, last holiday they had LED Holiday Card making which was super fun. We highly recommend Silicon STEM Academy and have told many friends/family about it!
