My daughter had a phenomenal experience as a rising 9th grader. The classes were engaging and fun, the environment was supportive and the camaraderie was excellent. She already can’t wait for next year!

EXPLO is the best summer camp ever!

The program was very well run. We were beyond happy with the quality of the classes, creative activities and staff. We highly recommend EXPLO and look forward to doing more of their summer programs.

Would have preferred if the instructors were experienced and certified teachers. Would have also preferred that the classes were more interactive as opposed to slides based.

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!

Excellent and super under every aspect, a transforming experience for our kids, interesting and inspiring subjects, a perfect organization , deeply professional and friendly staff, top academic locations (our experience was at Wellesley in 2022 and again this year 2024 and at Sarah Lawrence in 2023 and will repeat the EXPLO experience in 2025, we have many kids...), great fun, marvellous, international, life-lasting friendships!

Explo is what today's children need! Both of our sons attended Explo. The first to go started with the middle program, and given his ASD, we worried if Explo could provide the supportive environment he needed. It did - he went every year after that until the summer of his junior year when he worked in a research lab at MIT. Our younger son started in the Junior program. When we went to pick him up and identified ourselves, the response was, "Ah, your son is the YoYo Maestro!" Our son? It turns out he dove into YoYo head first at Explo and later ended up ranked 19th in the world! When people talk about "finding your passion," Explo is where that happens. The caution: When the same son came back from Explo in July after his sophomore year, he announced that he was NOT going back to High School. "At Explo, I could talk as fast as I think, and use any word in my vocabulary, and no one ever told me to slow down!" He started at Bard College at Simon's Rock that August! The point is that Explo is not a "resume" booster; it is a child booster. The child you get back probably won't be the one you sent. Trust me, that's a good thing!

Both of my boys did all three programs. Loved it!
