SMILE Camp

We LOVE SMILE Camp! We have been going here for camps and tutoring. It's one of my boys favorite camps and they get so excited to come. It's so neat to see the things they are learning, but to them, it just seems like great fun. When we were looking for a tutor for one of our kids, we originally tried a tutoring center in the area and it didn't feel like quite the right fit. We switched over to here last school year and my son actually likes tutoring now! He loves working with Ms. Karen 1 on 1 so much better than the group tutoring he was getting. We love the personalization he gets (Ms. Karen knows just how to reinforce and supplement what he is getting at school). His grades have improved significantly and he has a confidence at school now that he has struggled to have for years. Cannot recommend enough for camp, tutoring, and even birthday parties - we have done that too!

Just a small sampling of the many things you can do here. I have some much fun. This is my happy place as an adult. Imagine how much fun the kids have with their many programs!

The best camp in the Raleigh area, and honestly the entire State. This camp shows how cool Science, and Engineering is, and is a great inspiration for both kids and adults. The caring staff members truly make a difference, emphasizing hands-on activities. I have been to other science camps, and you can really tell that Smile camp puts much more into actually teaching, and creating interest, compared to other camps, and lets campers take home so much of what they work on/create in camp. Many of the employees are actually ex campers that wanted to come back and help out around camp. This really shows how great this place is to me. When they come out with their programs for adults, I would highly encourage you to check them out, as I have seen what they are planning to do, and it looks like a ton of fun. The owners of the camp, Roger, and Karen are some of the nicest people I have met. I would recommend any of the best smile camps for those who are new to smile camp. Finally, the liquid nitrogen ice cream on Fridays, at the end of camp is super cool (lol) and makes really nice tasting ice cream.

The best summer camp I have ever tried out, their camps cover a wide variety of topics, the kids get to take home the experiments they completed. Presentations on Fridays are awesome, as the kids get to explain to their parents their favorite experiments, and then make liquid nitrogen ice cream! The staff are also super knowledgeable and really care about the kids.

The best camp we've ever tried! My young teen went to engine camp and learned so much. They took apart and rebuilt a variety of engines from a weed whacker to a V12. They went above and beyond to make sure the kids learned a lot about the topic and had so much fun. Counselors were knowledgeable and helpful. Activities were educational and engaging. Our child will definitely be returning to try another one of their amazing camps.
