Pretty disappointed in our children's experience at the Denver Auraria Campus. They have a nut free policy and allowed children to share food with no guidance or education. My son is deathly allergic to peanuts and the youngest one in attendance. He had a severe allergic reaction because a child in the class was sharing peanut m&ms and the ambulance was called. No one from administration or customer service reached out to us. Their answer was, there's too many kids to keep track of, we can't monitor those things. They claim 4:1 and 8:1 ratio, it was not the case for Lego Robotics, more like 14:1 and my older son was bullied. He was not given a chance to participate because the other child took over the whole thing, came home in tears. It did not seem like they really cared about the situation. I would not spend the money to go here, we thought we were getting top of line education and camps.

My 14-year-old attended Lavner's 3D Printing Camp at Washington University. After spending nearly $2,000 on camp tuition, lunch, and extended care, I expected strong instruction and meaningful student outcomes. Instead, my daughter received very little guidance on how to make her designs printable. Her first project was never printed because it wasn't print-ready, yet no one helped her modify it. For her main project, she spent days designing a three-hole punch, only to receive a tiny, scaled-down version with fused hinges that didn't function. The most disappointing part is that these issues should have been caught early. Instructors should have reviewed student designs, explained printing limitations, and ensured each student left with at least one successful print. Instead, counselors were spending time designing and printing their own Pokémon models while students' projects went unfinished or failed. For the premium price, I expected a much more hands-on and educational experience. Unfortunately, this camp did not deliver the value promised.

I was very disappointed with the FinTech & Digital Banking camp at the University of Miami. The advertised curriculum appeared robust, but it simply wasn’t delivered. According to my son and the only other student enrolled, they spent only about an hour each day learning, while much of the remaining time was spent on their phones. They even watched a World Cup game during camp hours, and the counselor was often on his own phone instead of teaching. My son’s completed work also reflected that much of the curriculum was never covered. When I raised these concerns, I was disappointed by the camp director’s lack of accountability. Families pay a premium for these camps expecting a meaningful educational experience, and unfortunately, that was not our experience. I would not recommend this camp.

My daughter loved it! Robot camp is a great experience!

This is our first of many more Lavner Summer Camp for my son. He's enjoying all the different weekly session. From Lego to Minecraft, then Pokemon and Youtube 3D then topping it off with STEM to complete his wonderful experience this year.

The kids had an engaging learning experience. They brought home some great new knowledge and consistently commented on how fun the camp and the counselors were. We definitely will sign up again!

We signed my grandson up for a Roblox coding camp through Lavner Summer Camps at Davidson College in Davidson NC. I can say that this course was worth ever penny and my grandson had a great week. He learned so many new ways to code and program and his interactions with the instructors and camp director were positive. He came home with a smile each day and couldn't stop talking about his experiences. He met new friends and has more insights on how computer programs are created, coded and tested.

My granddaughter was engaged and produced 3 items in the hoodie, t-shirt and tote graphic design camp. She is excited to show us her creations once they arrive. She liked the time spent in camp because she learned while creating. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. Drop off and pick up was a smooth operation which added to the total day experience.
