This was our first time at Sun Yun's camp for both of my kids (age 6 and 8), so we were a little nervous on how it was going to be received by them. We are now at the end of our second week with one more to go and it's been magical for the whole family.
Both kids LOVED the fun, hands-on STEM activities. They brought home DNA they created with candy this week (picture enclosed). It was also fun to hear the age appropriate explanations. My younger son came back sharing that, "DNA is what makes me, me!". From the parent perspective, we love that the program was available for the full day from 8am - 6pm and that they are getting some Mandarin reinforcement while school is out. We all appreciate that there is a good amount of outside play. The kids are particularly enjoying the rotation of new parks they get to explore.
The Su Yun team has also been very mindful of COVID safety. From separated cohorts, only allowing kids and staff on site (with drop-off at the door) to temperatures being taken on arrival every morning and masks being worn.
The attention to detail is also impressive. My younger son turned 6 this week and without any prompting, he was sent home with a surprise birthday goodie bag of treats that included school supplies and snacks.
We hope to be back next year!
