My daughter attended the medical rotations camp. She learned how to suture, practiced laparoscopy at a simulation lab and much more. She was able to experience what being a doctor would really be, it was very exciting for her and further ignited her passion for medicine. The program takes the middle schoolers seriously and gives them opportunities that because of their age, usually would not be possible.

What a wonderful experience

What a wonderful experience! This is a camp where you can trust your pre-teen/teen will be safe, learn to spread their wings and experience more of life! The staff are attentive and encourage your child to push themselves socially and academically! My daughter finished the camp and immediately was interested in signing up again

I am writing this review as a warning…

I am writing this review as a warning to other parents of non-neurotypical children: my son underwent psychological abuse at this camp because they did not understand his quirks. Some of the staff, who are untrained in working with non-neurotypical kids, took it upon themselves to assess and “help” my child. They also ignored his concerns about the way discipline was handled at camp, and redirected his thoughts to how his concerns might be due to his history of depression and anxiety. The whole experience was a nightmare. My son loved this camp with all his heart in his first week there. He felt he had ‘found his people’; other nerdy kids who were passionate about science. That all changed as he began to see injustices in the way discipline was managed, which he is very sensitive to. He is the kind of kid that has a deep drive to know why adults make the decisions they make, and even though he is only 12 he has a mature ability to understand these things when they are explained to him. The fact that his concerns were redirected and blamed on his diagnoses is abuse. After an initial incident involving this, he was seen as a ‘problem’ by some of the camp staff, who ended up perpetrating even more egregious abuse later in his camp experience. Please learn from my mistakes. I do not want anyone else’s child to undergo the experiences that mine went through. The whole thing breaks my heart.

Explo is amazing!

I sent both of my children to Explo camp for a few years and they absolutely loved their experience. They gained a sense of independence and their time at camp expanded their world view. The staff is caring and helpful to families. I always recommend Explo - they’re amazing!

Good afternoon

Good afternoon, our children really enjoyed how they spent their summer at EXPLO. The organization was top notch. The children were met, everything was explained, and they were escorted back to the plane. Every day we received photos of our happy children. Thank you!

Finding kids like him

My kid chose to attend Explo this summer because he wanted to meet "more kids like [him]". That is exactly what happened. He made friends with kids all over the world who he talks to every day. The classes were amazing, and the experiences he had in and around Sarah Lawrence were top-notch, of course. But it is the community of kids that makes Explo so special.

Excellent Experience

My daughter had an unforgettable experience at the EXPLO 360 program at Wellesley College. She enjoyed her classes, and she really enjoyed all of the other activities, too. It was a welcoming, friendly, fun atmosphere and she made a lot of new friends. She wants to return next summer and do it again!
