Amsterdam Kids Camp — Science

My son attended the Amsterdam Kids Camp for a full day of science activities last week, and overall, it was a solid experience. The program's emphasis on hands-on learning really resonated with him as they built simple circuits and experimented with chemical reactions. His instructor, Sam, was very engaging and encouraged the kids to ask questions, which I appreciated. However, drop-off was a bit chaotic, with long lines and a bit of confusion on where to go. Thankfully, the staff was friendly and managed to keep things moving. My son had a great time outside during breaks, which was a nice touch for the kids to recharge. If your child is creative and curious, this camp might be a good fit, just be prepared for some logistical hiccups on the first day.

I recently enrolled my 8-year-old son in the Amsterdam Kids Camp — Science program, and overall, it was a solid experience. The staff, especially our instructor Sara, were genuinely engaged with the kids. They had a fantastic project where the children built simple rockets, which sparked my son's creativity and enthusiasm. He came home excited to share his learnings and even demonstrated how to launch a paper rocket using a straw! One downside was the drop-off process; it was a bit chaotic on the first day, with long lines and not much guidance. However, the staff quickly improved on that throughout the week, which was reassuring. My son also made a new friend, which was a big plus for his social skills. For parents considering this camp, I’d suggest clarifying the daily schedule and specific science topics that will be covered. The camp is well worth the price if your child enjoys hands-on activities and outdoor time.
