★★★★★Rowyn ImmerfallWe always have a great time at their camps!
★★★★★Hasan SonmezThey made everything so simple. It was all right.
★★★★★Blake ShulticeOur son attended two camps, "Where in the World is Herky?" as well as the math-based "Number Ninjas" one. He loved both of them. He said the learning activities were "extra fun", the teachers were "really nice," and he appreciated the outdoor picnic lunch and playtime on the ped mall playground. From a parent perspective, we loved seeing how engaged our son was about the learning content, and Jordan was great to work with as we communicated back-and-forth with questions. We'll definitely be signing up for more!
★★★★★Erik LehmannOur son attended a 2 day Herky themed "Carmen Sandiago" camp and had a blast! He had a great time learning about geography with other like-minded kids, and we can't wait until the next time he is able to attend another GoldCap camp. Highly recommend to other parents looking for fun summer camps for their kids!
★★★★A PWe received a generous drawing offering to try out a GoldCap summer program and we really enjoyed the experience. Jordan is very communicative and enthusiastic about the services they provide. I especially like the fact that this camp provided lunch; which is rare, the creative camp offerings, and my kiddo enjoyed the outdoor opportunities. Definitely recommend checking them out!
