★★★★★Becca KvenvoldenI’m an alumni from the late 80s/early 90s, and I still look fondly on “T-city” which I recall it being called. Going each summer was the very best part of my difficult childhood. Thank you for the memories!
★★★★★Kristine McKinneyMy daughter has participated in MITY for many years. I highly recommend the experience - it's provided extra curricular learning and fantastic friendships. Well worth the investment!
★★★★★Heather LinBoth of my two kids attended MITY and love it so much! Thank you, MITY!
★Elizabeth ChidothePoor experience with the interaction with leadership and topics for parents. Not worth the money invested.
★★★★★Sa SchloffMy ring 88th grader had a great time at MITY last summer. It was both super fun and intellectually challenging.
