I had high hopes for Congressional Camp based on rave reviews from friends, but my experience has…read morebeen extremely disappointing. On February 1st, I tried to enroll both of my children for a one-week session to see if they would enjoy it before committing further. I successfully signed up my son, but my daughter was waitlisted. Since we needed both kids in camp at the same time due to work schedules, I immediately contacted the camp for insight into whether she had a chance of getting in. It took two days to get a response, only to be told that the waitlist had 130 people and she would not be getting in. Realizing that it didn't make sense to send just one child, I immediately requested to unenroll my son. Weeks later, I finally received confirmation--along with a $200 cancellation charge! It's absurd that there was no way to place my son on a waitlist before enrolling, forcing families with multiple children into an impossible situation. This policy is unfair and completely lacks consideration for working parents. If you have more than one child, I'd strongly advise against this camp unless you're okay with paying a steep fee for a situation that's out of your control. This experience makes me question the camp's priorities--would you want to send your child somewhere that doesn't understand the basic point of camp?

My son had two summer camps through iD Tech and loved both of them. Having done other tech camps,…read moretheir program was very well organized and executed. The group sizes are small. The teachers were amazing ... really engaging, encouraging and seemed to genuinely loved what they were doing. To break up the day, I liked how they take the kids outside to play games and just get some fresh air. The t-shirt, name badge, lanyard and flash drive were a hit. Thank you.

However, I broke my wrist there. All they gave me was a pat on the back. Not even a free session? Shouldn't they be liable, as the counselor threw a dodge ball at me, causing me to fall and break my wrist? I'm not going back. No thanks.

When I asked what they loved about it they said "The games, the challenges and the counselors never once yelled at us." I marvel at the activities the counselors come up with to keep the kids engaged and laughing all day, even in sweltering heat. I also love that you can see highlights every day on Instagram. It's all about the counselors, they are kind, patient, inclusive and so positive, even in the face of rowdy behavior. I like what our kids are learning and we promised them they can go there all summer next year :)

We even hosted a party our self here. It's pretty no-nonsense: they do some activities with the kids in the gym (basically a lot of hopping around on the equipment) and then go to the party room for whatever the host has supplied to eat (pizza, cake, etc.). The staff is friendly and helps out a little with the clean up. Can't tell you much about the serious gymnastics programs, but for a young kid's birthday party, it's A-OK.

They have so much for them to do, no devices are allowed all day, and my son came home wiped out to sleep early which this single mother REALLY appreciated! This is my review from my son: : I liked your indoor camp a lot. It was exciting for all ages, and I met a lot of new friends there who were a lot of fun! There's science experiments and many rooms to explore to do activities in. There are groups in the camp: yellow, red, blue, and purple. The groups all represent different age groups, so you can play with people your age. It's a fun place with everything a child would dream of doing, and the staff are really nice too. There's educational classes for reading and art. The camp also tires out all the children by making lots of play which tires them to sleep extra early. It's a big place with a lot of running around space and do activities inside the building! There are a lot of board games to play such as Monopoly, Bingo, Uno, and Connect 4! A lot of children go there, and plat time, I hope to be there again soon.

With the wide variety of adventure activities (rock climbing, rafting, kayaking, etc.) to various sports and games my kids absolutely loved it. Communication was great and was good to know they had a 3:1 staffer/student ratio for the more adventurous activities. If we didn't move they would be going this summer. Also, my children are not the most sporty types but they really enjoyed the sports and game times they had each day. They had other options to the more competitive sports games but they still stayed active. It sounded like it was a more laid back fun atmosphere and a very positive experience overall!

There was quite a…read morelimited selection of things to paint (lots of holiday themed pieces) and they were pretty expensive but no big deal we each found something. We were given almost no instruction from the employee at the front, who was also very cold, borderline rude, to us the entire time. We finished our painting and were told it would take 5-7 days to be fired and we would be called when they were done. After waiting nine days with no word I tried calling the place (they were open) but received no response, I tried calling later that day but again no one picked up. I then called two days later (so it's been 11 days since we originally went) and again received no response. I had called four separate times at this point. We live pretty close so I just went to the store. The same employee was there and again was rude to me. He interrupted me and did not seem to care that I received no response on the phone and that our pieces were four days late. He asked me to sign the receipt but it didn't have my name on it so I asked if I should still sign. Again he interrupted me and was rude, even sneering at me. My friends have already left for college and they didn't get their pieces. So yeah, not a good experience and I won't be coming back.
