(5) Overall experience
Both of my nieces had an amazing time at Active Scholars. It's a great mix of STEM and sports, which kept them engaged and excited throughout the week. They really enjoyed the building challenges and the robotics activities and always came home eager to share what they learned. This camp also introduced them to new sports they hadn't played before. The staff is friendly and supportive, which played a huge role in their experience. We will definitely be returning this summer!
(5) Reason for choosing the camp
I chose this camp because it offered the perfect balance of STEM learning and sports. My nieces have a high interest in STEM, but I also wanted them to be active throughout the week, so it was perfect. Overall, the experience was certainly worth the investment, and I would gladly bring them back.
(5) Program quality and activities
The camp exceeded my expectations with its engaging activities, knowledgeable staff, and supportive environment. Because my nieces love STEM, it was right up their alley. During the week they attended, they got to engage in coding, robotics, and STEM challenges and even got to take some of their projects home. It was an ideal experience for both of them.
(5) Social dynamics and experience
The collaborative STEM activities and team sports created the perfect environment for my nieces to bond with other campers and form new connections. They're both relatively shy kids, but because of the energy coming from the teachers and coaches, it made it easy for the girls to come out of their shells. The staff does a great job of ensuring all campers are included.
(5) Skills and growth
My nieces left this camp with more love for STEM and gained skills in teamwork and sportsmanship through sports. They were not heavily interested or involved in sports before attending Active Scholars but took a great liking to soccer, basketball, and ultimate frisbee. Their multi-sport week at this camp was great because it exposed my nieces to new sports every day.
(5) Staff/Instructors/Counsellors
The camp is led by certified teachers, experienced coaches, and varsity athletes. This appealed to me because I knew that it would guarantee the best learning experience for my nieces. The staff was extremely friendly and professional and did a great job of creating a welcoming environment for the campers.
(5) Advice and tips
I highly recommend this camp to anyone who is interested. The fact that my nieces were eager to share their experiences and return to camp every day reflects how much they enjoyed themselves. Each week of camp consists of a different theme, so my only advice would be to make sure you sign your child up for a week that sparks their interests.
