★★★★★Brandy Blau

My rising 3rd grade son, very surprisingly, absolutely LOVES this camp! He has ADHD and Tourette's, thus we stick with movement/game/sports based camps in the summer. But he struggled a bit with writing last year so we landed at AIW, I had to bribe him to go willingly and assumed he wouldn't like it one bit but at least he would learn something. well I was happily wrong, he loves it more than any other camp he's attended, he makes sure we arrive early and is already asking to return next summer. There is magic happening here folks!

★★★★★Jenny Kim

My daughter entering 2nd grade, who loves to read and write, loved this camp. She came home every day with stories about her new friends and humming/rapping songs about the writing process. Her final product was an e-book with illustrations. Her writing did improve (more coherent) but most importantly, she finished the camp so proud to be a published author. My only complaint is the facility was quite old but this is very minor.

★★★★★Michelle Freeman

This is an amazing camp where kids not only grow as writers but have a great time as well. They work to produce a beautifully written and illustrated e-Book which boosts their confidence as writers. Highly recommended!

★★★★★Aubrey Wong

My two sons have attended AIW camp for the past 5 years. It is the ONLY summer camp they request to go to every year. They absolutely love it and I can see the improvement in their writing too! The camp counselors are all very professional but still fun with the kids. Everything is well organized.

★★★★★Alex Adkins

My son LOVED this camp -- he had been resisting writing in grade school and falling behind. This camp turned around his attitude and improved his skills too. Wish I had discovered it even sooner. Fantastic resource!
