Just a few examples of some of the comments we've received about our Summer Science Adventures Camps:
Photo: Cardboard Boats
"My two ten year old boys really enjoyed the computer fun and games and water wonders classes this summer. The University students that led a pond session were spectacular. My boys looked forward to going to the Science Factory camp every morning. Thanks for providing my children with a quality, fun experience this 2007 summer. "

"I thought that my 8th Grade son was not going to be happy with any camp this summer. I was wrong. He really enjoyed the Digital Photography class and it has stimulated him to use the computer at home, to create masterpieces. Thank you for providing this current technology for him to enjoy."

"This has been great. Usually, my son doesn't want to do any camps, and he can't wait to get here every day!"

"Our first camp in Eugene! Great instructors, interesting curriculums. We attended U-C Berkeley Lawrence Hall of Science camps last summer and yours were just as enjoyable! Good job!"

"The camp was wonderful! My child learned a great deal and the subject matter was great, lots of facts and activities. We will be looking forward to next summer! Please keep up the good work. Thank you for a great camp experience!"

"Our child always comes home happy, energetic and enthused after this camp in comparison to other camps. It was his favorite!"
