Camp GrAd Lab parent, Silver Spring, Md. 2014

My child’s favorite part of camp: … the fact that there was always something interesting happening but with no pressure (like in school) and the counselors’ fun-loving and attentive attitudes.

M. is enjoying himself and now wants the fancy snap on sets you use in class for his birthday. The basic kit we picked up second-hand isn’t nearly as captivating at the ones he uses with you all!

My daughter loved the class….gender did not make a difference. Both my husband and I are science people so we expect our girl to also be a science person–and she is.It was exciting to solve the crime. She loved the class, and we were thrilled that she wasn’t the only girl.
