Hear from happy camp parents!
"We were so impressed with the warmth and kindness of the staff; the quick response to an email; the preparation and safety precautions; the quick pick up and drop off; the fact that they welcomed my kid each day by name; the photos taken and available to parents; the group size and teacher to child ratio; the variety of hands-on crafts and stem projects; the playfulness; the pace and time to play. We will be back next year because of how excellent of an experience we had. As a former educator, y’all should be proud! "
"I truly appreciate the amazing camp offerings every summer. Museum of Discovery is so trustworthy and the hours are very working-parent friendly, which is so hard to find. It's even better that it's such an educational experience."
"Thank you all so much for an incredible experience! The museum is truly my son's favorite place to go and he loved getting to spend so much time there this summer. All of the teachers and staff were so kind and supportive, let him be himself, and encouraged him to learn and be social. We loved that we got to speak to his teacher each afternoon at drop-off to hear about his day and any challenges he had. The communication and organization were on point! We can't wait to return next summer."
