"My son attended ID Tech robotics camp and it was his first time being at an overnight camp away from his family, and I can honestly say he flourished. The counselors were excellent, especially when the night before his showcase he was sad and didn't want to leave and needed someone to talk to. They also offered guidance that prompted him to think but allowed him full autonomy for his decisions. He also enjoyed meeting people who shared many common interests."
