Opportunity of a Lifetime

My daughter is still talking to anyone who will listen about her experience! As a parent I am extremely happy with Envision. Anytime I had a question, someone was always happy to answer and explain. I was never put on hold or transferred. Any worries or concerns I had were quickly relieved. I even received an email, at my husbands request, confirming payment was made for the shuttle bus from and to the airport just so we can feel comfortable sending our daughter 3,000 miles away! The stories my daughter has shared with us are priceless. To hear her talk about med sessions, intubating, seminars, and "the campus life" makes me so proud of her and happy we let her go. We are already planning and saving for next year!

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.

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.

Pretty Amazing

Our 11 yo son learned a lot at the NYLF STEM Camp. He didn't just learn about STEM topics, he learned leadership, planning, working with others, and fine-tuned his social skills. NYLF staff were informative, knowledgeable, and caring.

Amazing Opportunity

This opportunity and experience changed my life. I learned so many important things at Envision's NYLF: Medicine. It has and will continue to impact my life. If you are trying to decide whether to embark on this adventure, I strongly urge you to take this path. Envision is great and amazing opportunity to share your passion and dedication with other hard working, confident students who share your love whether it be in medicine or another field.You'll meet new friends (and stay in contact with them even after the conference is over) and find new skills and characteristics that will lead to self-development and self-discovery. You will absolutely love it. I sure did. Everyday I yearn for the chance to go back and relive it. Savor it. Cherish it. Love it. Live it. You won't regret it.
