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.

Awesome Experience

My daughter attended the Envision program in Boston and it was not only an informative experience but interactive and fun. She made new friends and can't wait to attend camp next summer.

Best Expierence

This was one of the best experiences of my life. I met many of the friends that I still have today through the programs that Envision puts on. I would go back in a heartbeat!

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.

Fantastic experience!

My daughter loved this experience! She made terrific friends, was challenged by educational activities with positive outcomes, toured historic sites, and was well supervised by incredible staff. Her only complaint was that it was too short!
