I can’t speak for other locations but the camps held at Valley Christian Elementary in Dublin CA in 2025 are an ABSOLUTE SCAM. The websites look nice and claim the kids will do these cool stem activities, robotics, coding, outdoor activities etc. when in actuality they’ll put them in front of a TV or video game then let them play on the schools playground. When you confront them about none of the advertised activities actually happening they’ll apologize and say they are understaffed and under supplied. The kids running the classes will tell you it’s out of their control and to talk to someone else. At that point it’s too late and they already stole your money. You can email the company about a refund but the Program Manager will be like the guy here in the Bay Area and send you some BS apology letter about how his camp sucks but can’t refund anything since I signed a T&C when registering my kids. Then likely laughs as another suckers family’s money and week of summer is wasted on this joke. They changed their company name once already because the scams caught up to them, they will likely do the same again soon and continue the scam for summers to come. Hopefully places recognize their reputation soon enough and stop letting them run these terrible scams from their facilities.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but as a parent, I feel a responsibility to share what happened at a Brains & Motion (BAM) camp in Saratoga, CA, so others can make informed decisions. My 8-year-old son attended BAM’s summer program expecting a fun, hands-on STEM experience. Instead, he and his friend had an upsetting experience that no child should face in an educational setting. Their classroom was led by high school students, not professional educators. During camp hours, the kids were: • Exposed to racial slurs, including the N-word used toward another child • Subjected to inappropriate language, including Chinese phrases that we discovered later included racial slurs • Played music with explicit, profane lyrics, including the F-word • Given very little hands-on instruction, despite the camp’s advertised focus When I raised these serious concerns with BAM leadership, their response was deeply disappointing. They denied or deflected key issues and chalked the incident up to “miscommunication.” No apology to families, no clear disciplinary action, no steps outlined to prevent this from happening again. The safety, supervision, and emotional well-being of our children were compromised. It’s not just about what happened — it’s about how BAM failed to take real responsibility when it was brought to their attention. If you’re a parent considering this camp, I urge you to ask hard questions about who is supervising, what’s being taught, and how issues are handled. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend BAM and will not be enrolling in any future programs.

Worst camp ever. It was so boring and lame. Some of the activities didn’t even go with the week’s theme, which was space. We built lame Lego rockets out of knockoff Lego and there wasn’t a variety of pieces. We also did spike with Lego and the counselor didn’t give us any instructions on what to do. Overall, I learned nothing. It was very expensive for the experience too. Around 600 dollars a week. A lot of other campers also said they hated the camp and they wanted to go home. If I could, I would rate this camp 0 stars. 100 percent would not recommend. :(

One should be aware that this company is just rebranded KidztoPros. You can google to see that company's awful reputation. Both their workers, as well as parents who participated in their camps thought they were awful. They have a new PR campaign to sanitize their image, paying to get puffpieces published and removing any association from their former name, but they are doing the same things, treating their workers the same, and providing the same poor experience. Notice too how many of these reviews are left by profiles that have only ever written one review and follow the same formula.

I am extremely disappointed with the soccer class my 6-year-old son has been attending. The coach has consistently been arriving more than 15-20 minutes late for each session, which is not only frustrating but also raises serious concerns regarding safety. The class ending time had never been extended due to her late arrival. This week, for example, my son and the other kids had to stand in heavy rain waiting for the coach to arrive. The weather conditions were unsafe, and there was no communication or effort from the company and the coach to address the situation. It is completely unacceptable that young children are left exposed to the elements like this, especially when their safety should be a top priority. I understand that delays can happen, but this has been a recurring issue without any explanation or effort to improve punctuality. As a parent, it is worrying to see the lack of responsibility and concern for the children's wellbeing. This experience has been very frustrating, and I hope the coaching staff can take immediate action to ensure this does not continue. Until then, I would NOT enrolled any class in this program. I hope this issue is addressed promptly.

From the moment we enrolled, I felt a sense of reassurance knowing my child would be in such capable hands. The teachers are absolutely amazing! They bring a wealth of knowledge and creativity to their lessons, making learning exciting and engaging. My daughter has been exposed to a variety of subjects, from science and nature to art and music, all while having fun! The structured activities are perfectly balanced with free play, allowing the children to explore their interests. What I appreciate most is how they foster a sense of community among the children and families. The events they host are fantastic opportunities for us to connect with other parents and celebrate our children’s achievements. The cleanliness and safety measures in place are also commendable. I feel confident knowing that my child is in a secure environment.

Very helpful. Wish we could go on other websites with special permission.

Cheyenne says her teacher is really funny and makes her laugh. She’s still enjoying being there.
