Parent/Guardian Testimonials

Our daughter loved everything about this camp! The hands on learning balanced with outdoor time was perfect and gave us a sense of calm knowing she was having fun and being appropriately engaged!

Parent/Guardian from Camp Curiosity

My 7-year-old son had a wonderful time at Camp Curiosity. He often gets nervous about new things and was nervous before the first day, but came home so excited, couldn’t wait to go back the next day, and was sad when the camp week ended. He definitely wants to sign up again next year!

Parent/Guardian from Camp Curiosity

The camp leaders seemed welcoming and inviting. Thank you for having a great group of leaders!
