Biggest advantage and disadvantage It was a worthwhile summer camp that I attended for three consecutive years at different colleges while I was in middle school, about 5 years ago. I met lots of people from all around the world, and some are still my friends today. If I had to identify the biggest advantage and disadvantage of this summer program: The biggest advantage is that you get to make connections with people from various backgrounds and locations around the world. It allowed me to gain different perspectives and enriched my narrow worldview at the time. The biggest disadvantage is that, although the program has some academic significance, there is no credit for higher-level academic courses such as high school or college level. The experience is more social than academic.

Great camp Great camp! Fun and instructive.

Delighted parent and camper! My daughter attended EXPLO Junior at Regis College last summer. She has been to many day camps, and this was by far the best. Other camps, she tolerated. This one, she couldn't wait to go. She loved everything - the activities, the staff, and the other campers. One of the staff members wrote her a sweet note at the end, saying how much he enjoyed having her in his course. The course offerings are unlike anything I've seen elsewhere - they stimulate her brain, and also get her moving and making. I can't recommend EXPLO enough. (Disclosure: I am a Board member. But my child doesn't care about that stuff, she just had a great time. :-))

I worked at EXPLO for many years I worked at EXPLO for many years, and I also worked at a few other educational institutions. I lived EXPLO not only for the effect it had on our students and families, but also for intentional way it trained and cared for staff. Simply one of the best places to work anywhere, ever.

Variety and High Quality The variety and high quality of programs are what make Explo great! I wish I could have attended when I was young.
