Parent Testimonials

We have been running our summer camps successfully over the past 10 years in the SF Bay Area. Our extremely popular summer camps receive tremendous parent endorsements every year with glowing reviews. In addition, we have a more than 60% repeat rate year over year. Many children return to Kidizens for a second or even third session!
This was the favorite summer camp for both my sons (9 and 6 years old) and they've been to a variety of summer camps! They were excited to see what happened to their cities overnight and then plan and build things to make their cities better.
Tanya S
My son has been going to Kidizens since he started at last Summer's camp. He is so engaged and happy to be there. I love watching the interaction the kids have with each other and the great guidance they get from the dedicated teachers.
B
This is an amazing after-school and summer-camp program for children. They also cater to home-schoolers. It is the one camp that my children ask to take over and over again.
Paul B
My son attended a week-long winter camp at Kidizens and absolutely loved it. He couldn't wait to get up every day to go to Kidizens.
Darla M
Every day my daughter would talk about adding new buildings and bringing home a score sheet summarizing the state of her town (population, approval rating, money in the treasury, complaints and accolades from the townspeople). I came in one morning to find some escaped criminals holding up little speech bubbles. Looking around at all the little towns, there were some seriously impressive structures.
Wing Y
One of my kids has done the Kidizens summer camp for two summers, and the other started this summer. I strongly recommend it, especially if your child is interested in Legos.
Amanda H
My son loved this camp! He prefers slightly smaller camps. This one is very organized and well run. Mrs. Fiona is so sweet and I love that kids get to build and make friends in this fun and interactive camp. They also get some outdoor time at Twin Pines Park! Highly recommend.
