★★★★★Shannon Strasserabsolutely one of the best trainings I have been to. I went in having little direction in putting together a summer camp and came out feeling ready to go! So many great ideas shared and just a tone of fun! If I could attend one of their camps as an adult I would!
★★★★★Taylor BuchananI went through a couple of days of training with these guys and any question I had, they had already answered before I could ask. Very well planned out, a great resource to jump start your camp planning experience!
★★★★★Nicole SmithAmazing team of educators that truly understand what it's like to be in the classroom. Usable and practical ideas and framework to run any summer camp from plants to physics !
★★★★★Lauren ZollingerEmpowers middle schoolers to get outside their comfort zone, learn new skills and leverage their strengths to address community challenges (while having fun!)
★★★★★Zane E SandersTHE best nonprofit that works with middle schoolers! Empowering middle schoolers in-school, after-school, and camps. Definitely sign your kids up to be involved. Their office is at least 20% more fun than any other office I have ever been to, as well. 😊
