TESTIMONIALS

“I was really nervous about sending Alexis to the camp, but she is loving it! She’s enjoying every day!! And now she wants to be a neurologist.”

“I just wanted to say thank you for the workshop that Madeline attended at UCSD. She had a great time and learned so much. It was exactly what I was hoping it might be.”

“Our son met some incredible friends and learned that he can do a great job even when he hadn’t taken biology. He was very proud of this achievement.”

“Clear logistics, safe campus, holistic program!”

“The camp was very well organized. Moving in and out was simple and straightforward. Our son was thrilled with the level of detail in the instruction and feels he has really understood the causes as well as the research areas being pursued to control/cure cancer. Overall a great experience.”

“As an international student, the airport transfers, residential facilities and food options made the adjustment much easier. Every detail required for the students was diligently provided.”

“The content was great. She learned a great deal about brain function and diseases. And she really enjoyed the TA’s. All around it was a great program that I will recommend to others.”

“Michelle said it was a terrific experience and a very well developed program that she learned and benefitted from. She rated it very highly and we will have her younger sister apply to the program this coming summer.”

“Difficult but informative. My child really liked it!!”

“She thought the teacher was exceptional and shared a lot of depth in the area where she has completed her PhD work.”

“Gave her a quality program, independence, and a taste of what college will be like. Seriously the best experience of her life. She came away with everything positive that college has to offer. She loved everything about it.”

“Good selection of similar-background and academic-oriented students in the camp.”

“My daughter’s bonding experience with other students from around the country and the exposure to cancer research. She had a fantastic experience.”

“I have no complaints, my child came back more mature, made friends that he has stayed in contact with it was great! Thank you.”

“I thought the institute provided the students with a real college experience of how it’d be to live in a college dorm.”

“My daughter always sounded happy over the phone even though she was so far away from home and us. She liked the food, made many new friends, enjoyed the classes, labs and outings. It gave us huge peace of mind, knowing she was in a safe environment, having fun and learning new things.”

“I think it gave them enough freedom to experience responsibility and maturity but they were still supervised and protected. As a mother, it gave me confidence that I can send my child away to college and feel that he is mature enough to do so.”

“My child found the material very challenging, but enjoyed the challenge.”

“My son loved being immersed in a learning environment with other highly gifted students who all are excited about the same topics. Also, the diversity of the student mix- not just racial diversity but geographic (students from different states and several countries).”

“My daughter was a happy camper 🙂 Not only did she thoroughly enjoy the lectures and labs but she also had great time with her peers. She made new friends and loved the TAs.”

“My daughter loved the challenge of learning more advanced science concepts and terminology. She was so excited about all of the different topics that were covered and being immersed in the environment with so many other like minded students. I think she will be bored in her HS science class this year.”

“I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful experience that my son had over these last couple of weeks; I think that your program has been an invaluable for him.  Also, thank you for taking him to the doctor and pharmacy and helping make that process so smooth and reassuring for us parents.”
