★★★★★Kris Hassey

This is a fantastic camp run by talented people - our kids love it! They came home talking about all the interesting experiments and activities they did every day, and made so many creative projects they were able to bring home and share. They also really loved the yoga and the outdoors time they got each day. The whole environment seems so positive and organized. There were comprehensive, proactive safeguards against COVID-19 this year, and we had no concerns about safety at all. We are definitely planning to send both our kids again next summer! Highly recommend!

My daughter attended Camp IO for multiple weeks this summer and LOVED it!! She felt welcomed, included, and safe. She loved the activities. The staff are very organized and engaged with the kids. It's a good mix of summer fun, learning, and down-time.

★★★★★Misty Hechinger

My daughter has attended this camp every week of the summer for the last two years. (Before that, the same ladies were amazing in teaching her science class at The Young School.) My daughter absolutely adores everything about the camp! The mindfulness and yoga exercises have improved her concentration. She has learned so much about science; we are always surprised to hear more about what she has discovered during the week. The counselors and counselors-in-training were very helpful in getting her what she needed, acknowledging outstanding accomplishments, and even supporting the resolution of any disciplinary issues. I often wish that I could ditch work and instead do the fun activities with the kids at camp.

This camp is great! They encourage campers to access the creative parts of their minds to invent and create projects during science. This combined with yoga allows the kids to be more mindful of their surroundings. Their weekly themes all tie together so well! On fridays, the kids get cotton candy and popcorn and watched a movie that related to what the kids learned during the week. I love that they are able to learn while having fun! I have never seen so many children so interested in yoga before this camp!

Seriously awesome camp! My son is going for his second summer and us stoked his little sister will join him this summer. Great themes each week, and the yoga really resonates with the kids at all ages. Awesome staff who soon feel like family, and reasonable hours with before and after care. Where else can you get the great combo of STEAM and mindfulness for kids??
