"Compared to other academic camps this was the best by FAR! The teachers are very passionate about what they do. Camp was very college-like — I felt like I was a Stanford student. I would recommend the program because it's a real college experience that every kid should have. At first I thought it would just be sleep-away school, but I was pleasantly surprised.”
