Awesome experience

I highly encourage and I'm a strong advocate of the envision program and staff. Events, saftety, guest speakers and activities are well design to help guide your child in a number of areas, problem solving, communication, teamwork, leadership, and many others. Once in a lifetime opportunities, that you and your children will discuss for a lifetime.

Amazing experience for our future leaders

Amazing experience for my son at the JrNYLC. He came out more out going, confident and sure of himself. He made friends in that short week that he still texts and talks to a month later. He had nothing bad to say about any of it. For parents who think they can't afford it dig into scholarships and grants and fundraising on their site. That is one ting I did not take advantage of and wish I did. Well worth the money to hear my son talking about if he were president or a leader how he would change things!!! I felt very comfortable that he was safe and I usually worry. Get the text updates too. Can't say enough good.

Overall great experience and would recommend to anyone

The workshops and group projects were lots of fun and opened my eyes to the many engineering fields. Although I'm not one for formal dress everyday, I appreciated the requirement because it made the "conference" more independent and, without a better word, formal. I will never forget this experience and I hope anybody that gets the option to go would go.

Pretty Amazing

Our 11 yo son learned a lot at the NYLF STEM Camp. He didn't just learn about STEM topics, he learned leadership, planning, working with others, and fine-tuned his social skills. NYLF staff were informative, knowledgeable, and caring.

Excellent career exposure

The Envision camp on media production was fantastic for our son, who is entering his senior year in high school. He was given exposure to many aspects of film making, production, editing and publication. He was confident he wanted to "make movies" but this was his first experience with what really happens behind the scenes. He has returned home with a better definition of what he wants to do and what to look for in a college choice. Additionally, he had a wonderful time and met many new friends that he continues to communicate with. We chose this camp because he was somewhat naïve about the industry and the options available in film production. He now has a better idea of what it takes and what he wants to pursue in college. He also loved New York and came home more mature than when he left! The dorm experience was a nice prelude to college.
