  • The only camp my daughter enjoyed

    "The quality of teaching was very good and they clearly had a passion for teaching and contributing. My daughter has attended many summer camps over the years and this is the only one that she enjoyed. I would happily recommend STEM for Kids programs to other parents!''

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • We hope to be back!

    Lots of things to do and we hope to be back. Thank you to Miss Raghad and the other teachers who were very friendly, and sent through daily photos. Thanks very much.

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • Great Experience!

    Great experience! Positive everyday. Our son confident so we knew settling would be fine. But he enjoyed camp overall and is looking forward to attending again.

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • Everything was perfect!

    My boys really enjoyed going to the classes and could not wait to start each morning. The loved the building and programming - so much so that we struggled to get them out of the door each afternoon!

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • The most valuable lesson was teamwork

    My son enjoyed the coding and would come home and discuss the projects he worked on. I think he enjoyed working with the robots the most.

    Parent of one of our camp students
  • She wanted to be prepared!

    It was a really fun experience for my child. She looked forward to attending each day and before we left home, checked to see what was scheduled for the day to see if the experiment was possible! Every day she told us about what she had learned.
