★★★★★AngelAstrocamp was so much fun!! I just got home from camp, but I’m already missing it. I absolutely loved stargazing and learning a bunch of different things science related. One special mention is my group’s instructor, Taylor! Taylor is so amazing, smart, funny, and fun. During classes, her explanations were so clear and she was filled with enthusiasm. She wasn’t the only amazing instructor though. Two other great instructors named Kenny and Riley also did a great job while me and my schoolmates were there. If you want a camp with an amazing staff, delicious food, quite clean and maintained dorms and bathrooms, and very interesting and intriguing lessons, Astrocamp is the way to go!
★★★Diddy PIt was fun, but low quality. The food made me sick. DONT EAT THE BARBECUE CHICKEN. the activities were fun and long division was cool, I may have gotten a bed bug bite so be careful.
★★★★★Clinton ParkWow, went here with my son's school as a chaperone and the kids had an amazing time! From Frankie, Brett and all the friendly and amazing staff at Astrocamp, the great breakfast, lunch and dinners with the food crew, the facilities were outstanding! Rock climbing, zip lining, obstacle courses and vine walking to name a few. The educational value was great and practical, and the kids using what they learned and incorporating it into fun and educational activities. The kids played with games, electricity, forces, elements, gravity, mass, and liquids. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate and we couldn't use the telescope at night but did many other activities! Definitely recommend for kids and makes learning practical and fun. I also learned quite a bit!
★★★Cole DiPierroI paid 500 dollars and it wasn't worth it. The food was raw and gave food poisoning and Emma (the councilor) was so rude! Beds were also uncomfortable but it did have entertaining classes
★★★★★W. PierreCame here for a school trip. Was a great experience. Would definitely recommend. The zip line and Building the rockets are definitely a must.
