First time Envision Experience

My 11 year old daughter came back energized and so much more confident. She loved it so much that she will be attending the Washington D.C. Summit. She has done other summer camps but this tops them all. Although more expensive than others, my husband and I felt it was worth every penny.

Envision

My daughter has went on two Envision trips, one to Washington, D.C. and the current alumni program to Boston. Each time she gone she has learned more than what a year in school could teach her. It's not just about travel and American history but leadership and life goals. They also have a payment plan that works with anyone. I highly recommend the Envision trips to anyone who gets chosen to go. It's a trip the kids won't ever forget.

A Fantastic Experience- Excellent Program

Our 10 yr old son was nominated to attend the Envision Pathways to STEM camp this summer. It was very well organized, had plenty of curriculum and content for a solid week of learning but didn't feel like school. He had opportunities to do things he will likely not get through public school and by attending the camp he is now an alumni and can attend any of the offered programs. It was worth the money, the Envision team was very easy to work with and our son had a very positive experience. It boosted his confidence, taught him about leadership, goal setting and allowed him to interact with kids from other states and backgrounds.

Motivating

I thought that this experience was extremely motivating to me and others that were there. I attended the Youth Leadership forum in October of 2015. It was great getting to listen to the speakers and travel around the capital. I would go again if I could.

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.
