My child loves learning about science. This is the first extracurricular school activity they've been interested in since they're not really into sports, so it's been wonderful to see him more engaged with the school community and excited about going.

My son comes home excited after every class!

Our daughter loves learning science and it's so fun!

The excitement the staff has to share knowledge and science with the kids is palpable. They did a great job with the flow of events and even the little party extras that were sprinkled throughout were adorable. We look forward to future events and parties with M.S.!!!

My daughter always has a blast! She really enjoy any activities and she always ask me to sign her up for next camp! Excellent job guys!!!

I liked that my child had a great time. And there was so much to do and learn. She loves science and love making slime.

My son loves the hands-on experiments and activities, the teacher, and the curriculum.

Both of my kids love it!

I love that you offer a program at Rowe (we have no other after school enrichment programs at all!). Both of my kids enjoy going each week. And they tell me the cool things they did.

The science team was amazing! My kids came home from camp electrified!

Kids loved the programming and staff was great! Only feedback would be what that the welcome email said drop off started at 830 but staff was never there at 830, either change the am start time so we can plan (we both work full time and start early) or have staff actually be there when the email stated they would be. Otherwise 10/10!

I love hearing about what the boys did each day.

I love that this camp is very low stress and is learning but with joy, that it is engaging for the kids, and it has great instructors!

Molly is wonderful and amazing! An excellent experience end-to-end.

My son said it as fun and liked the staff.

My kids and I like having the ability to attend a school-like program that gives some structure to their summer but also lets them explore their specific interests.

Simon really enjoyed this program.

We have been to a couple camps now and just love the format and breadth of topics covered. I also really appreciate how adaptive the staff has been in dealing with my neurodivergent child. I am a bit nervous every time he goes into a new camp environment. Mad Science has been great every day in helping him and being as patient as possible, while cultivating his curiosity and enthusiasm.

Really great learning experience with tangible output! Some feedback: the robot build was a 3hr task split over 4 days so there was quite a bit of downtime for the older kids who could move along more quickly. Perhaps you have additional activities for the older kids so they don't become disruptive to the rest of the group.

My son was so excited to attend every day, and discover what they'd be doing for experiments! He absolutely loved it and had an amazing time! I will say though, I read him the description of the camp before signing him up, and he was beyond excited that he'd be bringing home a lab coat (amongst other science items) at the end of the week. Not all of the science items listed in the description were sent home, but he was most disappointed that he didn't in fact end the week with his own lab coat (clearly listed in the description of the Reactions camp).
