NYLF- worth every penny

When I was preparing for this trip, I was very nervous about meeting people and what I would be doing. Needless to say, it happened to be one of the best times of my life. Not only did I learn tons and have fun, I left with many life long friends. The experience was one I will never forget.

Excellent Program for College Experience and Skill Enhancement

I would highly recommend this program to any parents that would like their child to improve skills of leadership, communication, and teamwork. Through this program, my child envisioned what their future career would be and is more confident in being independent after spending a week on his own on a college campus.

How to safely cut the apron strings

My son had never been away from home before. He'll be 12 in October and he had never once been "on his own" without at least one family member around. He was nervous. God knows I was nervous. And yet, after family orientation, that all changed. Envision runs a tight ship. They have multiple things in place to ensure the safety of the children in their care, and to put parents like me at ease. My kid had the best time of his life. Whatever nerves he had were gone by the time I went to say goodbye for the week just like mine were. He came back more confident in his own abilities because he was allowed room to grow in a laid back, yet no less effective environment. He had to rely on himself and his roommates to be punctual and responsible for his own things. He's more independent. He doesn't question his reactions to things as much. He made friends that he's still keeping in touch with. I can't recommend this program enough. It really was the best thing for him, and is an experience he will carry for a lifetime. I got a week's vacation knowing that my child was in the very best of hands. Every concern and question raised was addressed and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Excellent staff interactions with the scholars

My 13yr old grandson was excited to have teachers engage with him and support his ideas. Lots of hands on robotics.

A great program!

My son had a wonderful experience at his Envision experience. I was hesitant to send him somewhere without one of his parents being there for six days, but I honestly did not worry about him much while he was gone. Envision was very communicative and gave me text updates and e-mails daily, sometimes several times a day. I had to call to leave a message one day and the lady who answered the telephone was really helpful. I felt like he was being taken care of and I am glad we chose to send him. He learned so much from his experiences and from his advisors there that he will be able to use in the future.
