★★★★★Laura BennettWe took our Daisy Troop to an event and it was wonderful. They were kept engaged, got to try new things and were challenged but things were at a level that helped them be successful. Will absolutely be attending another event and recommending for schools and scouts!
★★★★★Hannah DeanJulie was amazing! Our Girl Scout troop (5 year olds) attended one of her workshops this weekend and she was so patient with our girls and really helped them think through their challenges. Would highly recommend!
★★★★★Sara ThibaultThe teachers and students at Pratt Elementary were extremely excited to have Challenge Island come to school for a STEAM Day! The activities were age-appropriate, engaging, and encouraged students to use their problem-solving skills. The team-centered approach promotes collaboration among students and gets everyone involved in learning and having fun! We look forward to having Challenge Island return next year for another amazing round of STEAM challenges!
★★★★★Kristen AndrewsJulie presented a wonderful experience for my Kindergarten students to help celebrate "Read Across America Day." My students hung on every word, as she challenged them to balance more and more items using the Cat in the Hat. Each student was completely engaged from start to finish. Julie showed compassion, patience, and excitement to all of my students and allowed each to share their thoughts at the end. It was an amazing time for all! I highly recommend booking Julie for an event!
★★★★★Michael CapenChallenge Island has been an outstanding educational experience during a very difficult time. Our son, Tommy, age 10 is engaged in interactive, immersive activities. With so much virtual education taking place, having the opportunity to participate in safe hands-on STEM/STEAM activities is the best!
