Our entire family was enriched by the Blue Sky Camp! Our son would
come home every evening and “teach” the rest of us what he
learned. By the end of the week both my husband and I wanted to
take the classes with him! I LOVED how positive and fun the learning
process was! We’re ALL looking forward to our next adventure with
Laura and staff!

- My son had a great time and impressed me with his new knowledge of
how things fly (lift, thrust, etc.). He also had fun with the camp helpers
(teenagers).

- My child really liked the interactions with the teenage helpers. She
enjoyed making lots of take home projects (all of the cool "flying
things"). She also loved the Gack/Oobleck and having some time to
see and feel the turtles.

- The boys enjoyed the activities and bringing home their creations.
Any time they got their hands dirty and their minds working, they were
thrilled. The boys can't wait until next summer to do it again. They still
talk about the worms and the bats. Our bat house it hanging on the
barn waiting for the first tenants.

- She liked meeting other kids her age and working on a challenge that
stimulated her mind - especially now during the summer months when
she is not in school and misses challenge from that!
- He enjoyed the combination of learning as a group and hands on
project as an individual. There was a great atmosphere of relaxed,
fun learning. The subject, activities,setting, and people all supported
that feeling. My son loved the help of the assistants and the guidance
of Laura.
- My children enjoyed the variety of activities and particularly enjoyed
working with live creatures, e.g: worms, bugs, etc... I appreciated how
they looked forward to the “fun” aspect of the camp. I don’t think they
noticed the “learning.” I think that’s icing on the cake during a
vacation break. They learned that science, bugs, dirt, and yucky stuff
can be really fun. That’s important, not only for science education, but
especially for girls.
- My son enjoyed all of the projects and activities in Flying Things
camp. I'd say he especially liked the flying helicopter craft. Keep up
the wonderful work!
- My son had the best time at camp. I think what made it most
meaningful is the variety of hands-on experience (paired with learning
through books, etc) and the small group size. The only thing that he
would have liked better is for camp to be longer -- I think he would
have loved to be there all day! He has participated in a handful of
camp/enrichment activities, and the ones that have been his favorites
are the ones where the camp leaders are flexible, fun, enthusiastic
about their topic, and actually really care about kids. You managed to
do all of that!! I was super impressed with your camp and how well
you manage kids/parents in a caring way. Thanks again for running a
super great camp!!

The Design and Build session is completely aligned with my son's
interests - math, planning and building. This camp is unique and not
offered anywhere else. The setting is wonderful ... he really enjoyed
seeing the animals, and a nice bonus was having a friend in the same
camp! He also thinks you're a "really good teacher" and we both
appreciated your warm, laid back approach.
