Active Scholars Reviews 

I am very grateful for the Active Scholars program. To my knowledge, there is no other fulsome program that equally engages in Sports and STEM and finds opportunities to intertwine the two. It invites... Read full review

Active Scholars has been a foundation for my children's love for basketball and their development in STEM. For my daughter, there was a slight interest in sports, but we often found programs that weren't designed for her age g...

Again, I found the itinerary of the program welcoming to unique experiences. Once my daughter had an enjoyable experience, it was an easy decision to have my son participate in the following semester. They both enjoyed the ...

My children made friends with the coaches and other participants in the program. By chance, my children were in the program with some other children who attended their school but didn't engage with them prior- now, as parents,...

The biggest growth I have recognized in my children has been their confidence. Before entering the program, they had interests in both STEM and basketball but had been comfortable with doing just the basics. When challenged to...

The diversity and expertise of the staff really stood out for me. Especially as BIPOC female leaders in both male-dominated fields. It's a strong statement that is being put out to parents and to the general public. It shows e...

My only advice is to be ready to sign up your child(ren) over and over again or at least follow up with activities that can keep your children engaged. Once the door to STEM and basketball is open, you should do everything in ...

Both my children love sports and science. They were at science and sports camp, so it was a treat for them to be able to combine both of those passions. After the camp, I noticed more questions abou... Read full review

Originally, it was the STEM aspect. As an engineer, science was more of a job and had a negative bias, so I'm happy that my kids can see it for what it is: an integral part of our world with a direct impact on our lives, as op...

My kids went for several weeks, and indeed, they had a preference for the robotics and the basketball. The multi-sports was fun for them but not as exciting. They had a content creation class, which was also less interesting...

The kids are excited to see new friends. Coming from Montreal, I appreciated my kids being around a diverse group of children who also loved STEM as opposed to science being more from one set of the population. With my kids b...

It is not a skill as much as an appreciation and curiosity of how things work. How come a bridge can hold so much weight? How do you create content like all the YouTubers? How do you create a robot? There was a robotics c...

I think what stood out was the quality of the instructors. Most were university-level and highly accomplished in sports and/or academics. Thus, the kids had real-life role models that 'looked' like them. I got the chance to...

I think the best advice is to take the time to get to know the counselors. By interacting with them, I felt more at ease, which lessened my anxiety at leaving my kids there the whole time and just trusting their approach. Th...

Both of my nieces had an amazing time at Active Scholars. It's a great mix of STEM and sports, which kept them engaged and excited throughout the week. They really enjoyed the building challenges and ... Read full review

I chose this camp because it offered the perfect balance of STEM learning and sports. My nieces have a high interest in STEM, but I also wanted them to be active throughout the week, so it was perfect. Overall, the experience ...

The camp exceeded my expectations with its engaging activities, knowledgeable staff, and supportive environment. Because my nieces love STEM, it was right up their alley. During the week they attended, they got to engage in co...

The collaborative STEM activities and team sports created the perfect environment for my nieces to bond with other campers and form new connections. They're both relatively shy kids, but because of the energy coming from the t...

My nieces left this camp with more love for STEM and gained skills in teamwork and sportsmanship through sports. They were not heavily interested or involved in sports before attending Active Scholars but took a great liking t...

The camp is led by certified teachers, experienced coaches, and varsity athletes. This appealed to me because I knew that it would guarantee the best learning experience for my nieces. The staff was extremely friendly and prof...

I highly recommend this camp to anyone who is interested. The fact that my nieces were eager to share their experiences and return to camp every day reflects how much they enjoyed themselves. Each week of camp consists of a di...
