Someone in another review put it well "this is not an honest business". I wish I had seen that…read moreburied review before I chose this program. It was based at a local middle school, so I figured it was legit. My daughter was enrolled for 3 days before we pulled her out of the program. On the surface, when we arrived, the program seemed lackluster - I wasn't provided the basic orientation information before our first day of camp, it wasn't clear what my kid would be doing or any of the basics of what to bring or expect. I'm used to peppy camp counselors with name tags and clipboards, helping to shepherd kids where they need to go, and helping the littles feel comfortable. There was none of this. It was held in the library of a middle school (I hope they went outside, but I'm not really sure), and seemed disorganized. But I figured that at worst, it would be a boring but benign 2 weeks of summer. My kid is pretty outgoing, so I figured, what's the worst that happens - it's located at public middle school, it's got to be legit, maybe just underfunded. At least they have field trips?... But then my daughter fell and hit her head and gashed her eye, and the staff did not call me. I didn't find out until pickup, and when I arrived, they told me that it was because they were not given the emergency numbers from the central office, and they were not able to reach the central office. I have worked with children in many places across my career - I have been a camp counselor, and this seemed absolutely implausibly unsafe. I immediately withdrew my kid from the program - called and left a voicemail that I was filing a complaint and initiated a refund through ActivityHero. But that's when the fun began. I didn't hear from anyone until the next morning/afternoon, and really not until I called back saying I was going to file a complaint with the City of Millbrae. But getting in touch with CAM EDU was surprisingly difficult. Firstly, there is no number for parents to reach staff at the summer camp where the kids are. I was only able to reach the phone number of a central hotline, which was rarely answered by a human--I got more response from chat bots/emails. Then, I realized that there are no academic staff listed on their website - the faces I recognized from the summer camp had titles like "Website developer", which made me pretty nervous - who is taking care of my child? The person who was alleged "camp director" isn't listed as staff on the website. And all staff on the website are listed without a last name, so there's no way to actually confirm their identity or role with the company. When I heard back from CAM EDU, I was put in touch with their General Manager/HR person, who is based abroad and has never seen their facility herself. However, she was very understanding, and provided an immediate full refund. But this still doesn't excuse an academic site where the administrators are not involved in the day-to-day programs. The entire company appears to be run through Google Voice phone numbers, and it gave the impression that there is in-fact no central office (the business address routes to a work/live loft in Millbrae), and does not follow basic safety protocol. There was no way I was going to let my kid go on a field trip with them. I now have more questions around the validity of the business, who the owners are, and who were the adults present. I strongly encourage other parents to do their own due diligence before sending their children to this camp.

They are nice but yet strict about good behavior and using the Chinese language during Chinese classes.

We had to stop because we were worried it'd hurt his long-term motivation, especially in English. We found JEI through a friend's recommendation and were honestly skeptical at first, because my son was really against going to tutoring at that point. But within a couple of weeks, everything changed. He started saying the tutors were "funny" and actually looked forward to going and showing them his completed JEI workbooks. Now JEI is part of our weekly routine, and the results have been clear. Their personalized approach and engaging teaching have boosted his confidence--he now enjoys reading and grammar and consistently earns 3s in English. With middle school coming up, we're planning to enroll him in the Reading & Writing program at JEI as well. Highly recommend!

We tried a free art class here and I got to sit in the class. The teacher was very patient and taught her to first draw each line curve etc then they used oil pastels to color, next they used water paint to paint, then they used clay to make dirt. Our trial class is the excavator picture you see. We were very amazed at how much she learned in that one session. We enrolled her immediately. There are multiple make up sessions throughout the week if you need to miss your regularly scheduled class for vacation etc and option to do one on one make up class as last resort as well. We love the staff here and know she'll be in good hands and learn more of her passion here. There's multiple classes going on at the same time based on different art class levels. I've seen kids make sushi with different color clays etc and I've seen kids sketching when I'm pick up or dropping off my daughter so there's definitely lots to learn. I can see why happy Picasso is so popular around here after trying it out myself. When my daughter turns 7 and if she's interested, they also offer digital art class which will be useful for her in the future as well. Teachers here are very patient with the students. The kids also earn stamps each class and can trade them for prizes too. Very fun and motivating environment. 5 stars! And thanks.

Ever since my daughter was ready to attend summer camp, I've always heard good things about Galileo, especially that they focus on science and art -- every modern parent lights up at the idea of STEAM philosophy (science, technology, engineering, art, and math). So kiddo gave this a try as an upcoming 4th grader. We signed up for a few weeks that focused on topics she was interested in. In comparison to other camps, Galileo charges higher on the scale. They make up for this by having a mostly friendly staff and I love that the camp director herself would put a chicken on her head every morning to greet the kids arriving. They try to have a drop off system in the morning and for the most part, it flows smoothly, but checkout can be a pain and disorganized depending on the camp leader for your group. The rest of the feedback is directly from my daughter. Overall she reported that the camp is cheesy and treated her like she's a little kid. They sit on the yard daily listening to long life lessons about how to treat others. Kiddo said these are things that should've been learned in kindergarten -- roasting in the hot blazing sun with no shade and sitting on rough concrete was something she hated doing every day. There were also some rude kids and depending on the camp leader, very little was done to correct their misbehavior. Some camp leaders seem inexperienced and camp was more like babysitting. Kiddo did like creating some of the projects. This Galileo is based out of Franklin elementary but none of the kids were allowed to play on the structure, which was really quite disappointing.
