Reviews:

"This camp is AWFUL. If you are a teenager, do NOT go to this camp. It is made for younger kids. Especially do not go to this camp if you are used to honors or college classes. This is how I spent a majority of my camp time: Let's go somewhere! Oh, no, let's wait twenty minutes doing nothing to make sure we're all together and have our advisors. Oh, now let's play simon says while we're waiting! Let's play monsters v. zombies! Let's do some more kids' time-waster games! Oh, no, I'm sorry, you're not allowed to contact your family. It's against our rules. You have to wait until you're out to talk to anyone. Now let's sing children's songs! A word to the wise: Stay away if you're a smart kid who's used to fast learning, not a snail's pace. You'll be bored 24/7."

"I learned Spanish, and I was placed in the advanced class. At first, I was extremely confused as to how I was ever going to survive this camp. I learned so much Spanish that I still speak Spanish regularly to my friends from camp. Also, I made a lot of new friends while at the program. I felt as if by learning a new language, I could communicate better in English too. I love speaking in Spanish, and I learned more by immersing myself than ever. This is a great program if you want to learn a language that you have some or no basis in. It's a lot of fun, and I really hope I can go again. "
