What Our Families are Saying

Zineb B.

"Best camp of this summer according to my 8 year old! Educational and entertaining at once. We’ll certainly be back during the school year for chess, robotics and coding."

Ozi O.

"My kids had a fabulous time at MLC STEM camp this week June 27th – July 1st. They took Robotics and Makey Makey, and really had a great time creating robots that they designed. They also created instruments and computer games using circuits. A great way to stimulate their minds during the summer."

Sonia W.

"My son loves coming there to play and is always telling us about all the fun he had at MLC. He does it each year and he hasn’t gotten tired of it. MLC is one of the only local places to play chess and he loves the variety of kids he gets to play with. the easy going atmosphere is also a great way to spend the afternoon. So glad Chess will be available in the fall."

Cee B.
