Beansprouts Day Camp — Science

I enrolled my 9-year-old at Beansprouts Day Camp in Brooklyn, hoping he would be engaged and excited about science. He certainly was! Over the full day, he created a volcano that erupted with baking soda and vinegar, which he talked about non-stop on the way home. The staff, including our main instructor Sarah, were enthusiastic and attentive, making sure every child felt involved. However, the drop-off process was a bit chaotic with long lines, which made it a little stressful for us parents. Additionally, while the group size was small, I noticed a few kids struggled to focus amidst the excitement. Overall, I would recommend this camp for active kids who love hands-on learning, but be prepared for some logistical challenges. My son came home with a new interest in science and a friend, which was a win in my book.

My son attended the Beansprouts Day Camp in Brooklyn this summer, and overall, it was a solid experience. He’s 9 and very active, so I was thrilled to see how engaged he was in the hands-on science projects. They built small rockets and conducted fun experiments that really sparked his curiosity. The staff, like our main instructor Sam, were enthusiastic and clearly knowledgeable, making the learning process enjoyable for the kids. The small group size allowed for more personalized attention, which I appreciated. One minor annoyance was the long lines during pickup; it took a bit longer than I expected. However, the camp made up for it with their great communication regarding daily activities. I would recommend this camp for any child interested in science, but be prepared for some wait times at the end of the day.
