★★★★★Renee SommerfeldThis is my son's fourth year attending, and he loves it. I love that the camp is relatively small, with many returning teachers each summer, and a lot of returning campers, as well; it's fun to return to familiar faces each summer! The blend of art and science is really well done, and the PE time is great too!
★★★★★Ma'ayan JuddCamp Captivate is truly a gem in the Silicon Valley! This highly engaging and interactive science camp provides hands on activities taught by talented elementary school teachers. The topics are advanced but taught in a way that instills a love of learning in all ages. We recommend this camp without any reservations, it's a great experience!
★★★★★Ma'ayan RosenzweigOur children have attended Camp Captivate for many years which is a huge testament to how much we value their care! We recommend Camp Captivate to everyone we know because it's highly educational, a wonderful nurturing environment and a highlight from our children every summer. They hire high quality elementary school teachers who lead top notch educational activities in a fun and engaging way. We greatly look forward to Camp Captivate every year because it's so great!
★★★★★Kevin StubeCamp Captivate has been great! Our daughter has done at least one of their camps every summer the past three years and is signed up for one this coming summer. She loves them! They are her favorite camp every summer and she talks about them all night after camp and loves showing us her activities for weeks or months after the camps and references things she learned after that. She's done botany, geology, physics, and a general science camp.
★★★★★Marisa MedinaMy son (current 4th grader) has enjoyed Camp Captivate immensely! The combination of science, art, and fun is the perfect mix. Whether it was through summer camps or an enrichment program at school, we cannot recommend Camp Captivate enough. The teachers and curriculum are high quality and really care about the campers. Being that it is a smaller camp, the personal touch from the administration is an added benefit. Camp Captivate feels like family!
