My almost 6 year old loved her experience at Project Think! From art to swimming to the awesome counselors to the GREAT hours for working parents it was an awesome experience for all of us. She was always excited to go and came back exhausted. Win win! read more

Firs time and we loved it! We signed up for this camp on a friend's recommendation after her child had such a great time last summer, and we're so glad we did. Our daughter came home every day full of stories about new friends, fun experiences, and all the interesting things she was learning. She reconnected with school friends and met new ones, which made the experience even more special. We especially appreciated the way the program weaves in learning to help kids feel confident going into the next school year. read more

My kids had a great time. They did Stem in the morning and swim classes in the afternoon. Money well spent.

Our son had the best time and learned so much!!! We will do it again next year!!! He learned to swim and loved the art.

We had the most amazing experience at Project think! My four-year-old and six-year-old had an absolutely wonderful time, learned so much and had so much fun. I highly recommend this program to anyone and everyone! read more

My daughter really enjoyed her time. Highly recommend! She learned a lot of new skills and met new friends.

My daughters, 10 and 7, have had a wonderful experience at Project Think two years in a row. They love the hands-on learning and friendships they make each year. We will be back next year! read more

We've gone to Project Think for three years now with both our girls and it's such an amazing time for them while they are off for summer break! They do amazing STEM-related projects and have the best time! read more

My kids be will returning this summer! Project Think was an incredible experience for my children! The program offered a perfect balance of engaging lessons, hands-on activities, and fun enrichment opportunities. The teachers were knowledgeable, patient, and truly passionate about helping students grow. This is a GREAT way to avoid the "summer slide" in academics! My children not only strengthened or maintained their academic skills but also gained confidence and a love for learning. Each year a new theme is introduced in which the curriculum is built around. I highly recommend this camp to any parent looking for a meaningful and enjoyable summer experience for their child! read more

This is our second year attending Project Think and our son loves it. If you're looking for structure, education & fun to keep the kids entertained during the summer this is the place. 5 stars! read more

We have been going to project think over the past 3 years and really enjoy the learning activities the kids do in the morning and swimming and/or drama in the afternoon. It's a fun filled camp that also keeps your kids learning through the summer read more

Great place for kids to learn and make friends for the summer. Highly recommended for parents who work and want their kids to interact.

My son just finished a week at Project Think and loved every minute. He learned so much and had the best time with his friends. We're so grateful for the amazing experience. Highly recommend! read more

This has been a major contribution to our 7 year old daughter. The "bored" was never uttered. We will be back next year.

Kids were engaged in hands on learning. They got to meet new friends and they came away with a wealth of knowledge about several different topics (robotics related, drama/acting based, or science). This is our 2nd year doing Project Think and we can't wait to do it again next year. read more

Never pick up phone call and return voice messages, left messages twice to try to get information regarding the summer camp 2025.

Both of my daughters attended Project THINK and I can't say enough about how unique this program is. My oldest daughter is now 22 and my youngest is 10. The program has the same value as it did many years ago when my oldest daughter attended. We have returned every summer. My oldest says that this was the one experience that really led to her success in college. It helped her think beyond the confines of our traditional education system. Everything they do there encourages creative thinking. Don't send your kids to a boring summer camp where their brains go on auto pilot all summer. Instead, invest in this program where your children will learn and expand their knowledge every day they attend. The staff is top-notch. They are some of the best educators in the area that relate well to the children. Many are excellent college students and others are the highest quality teachers who teach during the regular school year. There are so many activities that your children are guaranteed to avoid boredom. Here is a sample of some of my 10-year-old's favorite activities during her last summer there: Reptile Day with real reptiles to interact with, and learn about - my daughter had so much fun learning loads about animals Ceramic studio, where your child can create to their heart's content Computer time Swimming time - My daughter loved playing "Marco Polo" and "Colors" and I loved that she improved her swimming skills The extended care was really fun, and the counselors were really kind according to my daughter Thank you Project THINK! read more

Not a program for young kids who are outside the box. Multiple transitions disrupt and overstimulate neurodiverse kiddos. While I believe there is the best of intentions, here is a lack of child development understanding/knowledge and age appropriate learning/expectations. I appreciate the goal and aim of this program but they fall seriously short when it comes to the current research and knowledge regarding young learners and teaching. read more

Project Think is great program for kids during the summer months! My children loved going to both sessions last summer. Project Think has so many hands on activities to keep kids engaged. I also love that with each session you sign up for there is a Family Night that you get to attend. At Family Night, you get to see all the wonderful projects that your children work on in the program! It's well organized and fun for all! I look forward to signing up my children again this summer as well! read more

Learning, learning, friends, fun, engaging, and more learning! Science, creative writing, culture, GIS, coding, electricity, and art! All at beautiful Claremont Colleges! Definitely recommend this program for your kiddos! Thank you! read more

My 3 boys attended this camp last summer. We actually have quite a few friends who attended as children. I had them in the all day program. The morning focused on academics, but what my kids loved the most were the afternoon times. 2 of my boys did swim, and 1 chose the stem class where they designed robots. They all really liked the electives they chose. read more

Our child attended Project Think last summer and I couldn't be happier he did. It was a wonderful experience for him. They have a great educational program there and all of the staff were extremely friendly. They seemed to genuinely care for our son and take an interest in his wellbeing and learning experience. I could not recommend Project Think more. read more

So excited that Project Think came back after Covid! My kid were able to attend their first year summer 2023 and LOVED IT! they did full day with swim and came home happy and exhausted. I went from 3rd grade until I aged out then worked there, so it's exciting to have my boys there now! read more

My eldest son started this program 6 years ago and he has been hooked from day one! This program is the only "schooling" that he's been excited about and looks forward to every year. My youngest son was finally of age this year and this has been his first "school" experience ever. He cries on weekends because he wants to only be at Project Think! I am so beyond grateful to all of the staff, volunteers and Dr. Warren, and Laura Miller who have all been so attentive and kind to my kids and who make this program so special. We will be back again and again! read more

My daughter attended Project Think for 3 weeks during the second Summer 2023 Session. She did the half day program. They had a nice Family Night at the end so we could see the projects the kids had worked on, but my real issue was the complete lack of information leading up to and during the camp. There was an email newsletter that went out after the first week that went over some of the things the kids would be doing, but nothing else after that. There is also very little information on their website about what the kid's normal daily schedules look like or what educational topics they'll be covering, so when we sent her the first day we just kind of crossed our fingers and hoped it would work out. Our daughter attended the program for TK&K aged kids, so the info we got from her everyday was limited. The first day drop-off was chaotic because of this lack of information and even the staff on site did not appear to know what was going on, because they weren't able to tell us where we were supposed to line up or where the kids were supposed to put their things. This was the 2nd session (we didn't attend the first), so I was kind of surprised they hadn't locked this down after the 1st session. They also had the kids outside a lot in the heat, and my daughter complained about this a lot. Even during days with heat warnings, they were outside. I couldn't tell you for how long or what they were doing because that information was never really shared with us, but my daughter mentioned it a lot. They also had the kids put their lunches/snacks and backpacks in plastic totes that sat out in the sun all morning, and even though we packed snacks with double ice packs, the lunch bag was warm by pickup at around noon, so we switched to something that didn't need to be kept cool. The simple fix for this was to let the kids keep their things inside or move the totes to a shaded area, but over the course of 3 weeks this never happened. They did have a nice family night at the end of the session for us to see the projects the kids had been working on, but it felt very on brand for us to show up and not know where to go because there was no information with map that was provided to attendees on where to find the exhibits. My impression is that most people who enroll their kids may have attended as kids themselves, but this was our first impression of the program. My daughter liked the teachers and seemed to learn quite a bit during the session, but because information about what they were learning wasn't really shared with the parents, it was hard to engage with her at home about what she was doing or learning. It was all really kind of a surprise to see it all at the family night. At the end of the summer, I asked my daughter if she wanted to go back next year or maybe try something else and without hesitation she said lets try something else. Now that we've lowered the bar on our expectations, we may consider sending her again next year, but I hope they are a bit more organized and share more information with the parents. read more

PHENOMENAL summer program for all children! My son was fully engaged in all of the enriching learning activities that this program provides.

Project Think is an exceptional non-profit children's summer program that offers STEAM classes for kids 4-14. The highly qualified credentialed teachers engage the students. Being at the Claremont Colleges encourages the kids desire to pursue future fields in technology and the arts. Having enrichment classes in the afternoon, including swimming helps children with a structured outlet for an amazing summer . The extended childcare both a.m and p.m support's working parent's schedules. I highly recommend this program. read more

The impact of Project Think challenging our kids to think different has been very instrumental. Over that last 30+ years, it has shaped the lives of many to aim high in creativity and acedemic excellence.
