“My son enjoyed the Multi-Sport and Coding camp so much, he just didn't want it to end! We have friends who planned to join for one week only, enjoyed it so much, instantly registered for the second week, if not their school started earlier, would have joined the third week as well.” - Anson, dad of 9-year-old
