What parents say
"We love The Organized Mind! I had been looking for a good-quality trackout camp for my boys (ages 11 and 9) and was having no luck until I stumbled upon TOM. My boys have thoroughly enjoyed it. They have a different field trip each day of the week and have gone to many interesting places. I love that the kids get involved in outdoors activities like fishing, climbing trees (if desired), and even building a campfire (under supervision). They have a morning lesson in which the counselor and kids discuss an important life skill. I also love that the kids are engaged in activities for most o"

"Wow, what a great option for older kids! You get to learn a life/school skill, go on a field trip, do fun activities, and have free time with other kids around your age. Oh and there are a couple of live animals to interact with as well! The owners and staff are amazing! They make everyone feel supported, and even cater to individual needs and interests. Wish I would have given them a go sooner. Will keep coming back for sure! Thank you so much to the TOM staff for all of the time, effort, and care you put in. Special shout out to Vince! :-)"

"This place has been an amazing experience for our daughter. She has historically been pretty neutral towards camps and after school facilities in the past but after one day at Organized Mind she was asking when she could go again! They go somewhere most days as a field trip and that is easily our daughter's favorite part. She is also learning skills in a natural way that doesn't feel like school for her. As parents our favorite part is the amount of visibility the staff provides. We receive a batch of pictures every day and the owner speaks to us directly about how our daughter is doing. Fi"
