Our children have attended Camp Captivate for many years which is a huge testament to how much we value their care! We recommend Camp Captivate to everyone we know because it's highly educational, a wonderful nurturing environment and a highlight from our children every summer. They hire high quality elementary school teachers who lead top notch educational activities in a fun and engaging way. We greatly look forward to Camp Captivate every year because it's so great!

Camp Captivate has been great! Our daughter has done at least one of their camps every summer the past three years and is signed up for one this coming summer. She loves them! They are her favorite camp every summer and she talks about them all night after camp and loves showing us her activities for weeks or months after the camps and references things she learned after that. She's done botany, geology, physics, and a general science camp.

“This past summer was our first experience navigating the wild world of summer camps for our 6-year-old daughter. We tried several camps, and while many were perfectly fine, none came close to the expertise, organization, care, and passion that Ildiko and her team pour into Camp Captivate. Our daughter not only had a blast but also learned so much in a warm and supportive environment. The smaller, more intimate setting stood out in the best way, offering a refreshing change from some of the larger camps we tried. It’s rare for a 6-year-old and her parents to agree on the “best” camp, but when summer ended, Camp Captivate was the unanimous winner in our household. Thank you, Ildiko and team, for creating such a memorable experience! We’re already looking forward to next year! Go Camp Captivate!”

My son (current 4th grader) has enjoyed Camp Captivate immensely! The combination of science, art, and fun is the perfect mix. Whether it was through summer camps or an enrichment program at school, we cannot recommend Camp Captivate enough. The teachers and curriculum are high quality and really care about the campers. Being that it is a smaller camp, the personal touch from the administration is an added benefit. Camp Captivate feels like family!
