“This week really brought out the best in my son. The camp directors were willing to change his course-work so that he would be challenged and learn something he hadn’t as yet experienced. He didn’t want to leave each day–he wanted to stay as late as he possibly could! This was a great week.” - Marni L., Parent, UNLV
