"Pre-K and 1st grader tried the OSC camp for the first time this winter break. They both loved it and asked to go back fro summer camp. It is a bit pricey and way above average, but i suppose it is worth it at the end and the kids get exposed to science and learn so much during camp. We signed up for the entire summer camp and look forward to it!"
