My Top Summer camp picks in the area - Part 2



Disclaimer: There are some camps my eldest son has been to and others are just a handpicked selection. I take no responsibility for whether it is good or not. Where possible I will give you my honest opinion, but that's all it is, an opinion! Good Luck finding the right one!
Please note: All information is as per the camp's websites

My advice: If you tried one and your child loved it, no point deviating & lastly, try and co ordinate with friends to make it more fun, also makes it easier to drops and pick up's and share the load!

Pooja's opinion: My son went to two terms of weekly classes with young engineers and loved it, this is pure edutainment, and learning through play. Kids were taught about STEM principles and then applied these methods to a motorised model at the end of the class. Great for lego enthusiasts! I have never tried the camps but I can imagine they are as enjoyable as the classes.
