Good question. It is crazy around here. Especially if you have more than one child...

What do people do who can't afford the tuition rates for camps like Valley Mill, Green Acres, and such?

Excuse me....caps police....my comment is not fake. The reason why I wrote dc ice in CAPS is because the DC ICE logo is in all caps. Don't let these people on here discourage you from checking the camp out for yourself.

Fake.


Too bad, was considering them and now would not. At least they could have a participant family write if they are that good.

They gave kids a manual to figure out the scratch program rather than provide any instruction. I would not recommend Funutation!


I would complain and ask for a refund, honestly. That is outrageous! A computer camp should have one computer per kid AND they didn't even teach them anything? I would also post a review on Yelp.

The weird capitilization and the link posted on multiple threads makes me think the poster works for them.

DC ICE sounds fun. What does your son like about the camp? Others?
