Highly recommended, as son had an amazingly inspiring experience.

Hands down this experience made a positive outlook for career and college direction for my son. It strengthened his leadership skills, creativity, and independence. My son spoke highly of Olin College. He talked about how much fun he had with the staff as well as a new network of friends nationally and internationally. He was smiling from ear to ear telling us about his positive experience. He enjoyed listening to the guest speakers, touring colleges in Boston, building his knowledge about his career of interest, college dorm life experience, traveling out of state, and touring a new city. It was all very motivating. As a parent, it was a learning experience for me as well. It was a very positive experience. I am so grateful the staff took very good care of my son.

Envision experience

It's a wonderful summer camp to introduce your kids to real world concepts in the sciences. It's also a great way for them to meet kids from different parts of the country.

Amazing

Wonderful experience for my son! He is so ready to follow his dream of becoming a lawyer and meeting new people outside of this small town has opened his eyes to so many more opportunities & experiences.

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.

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.
