My son loved creator camp this summer. He traditionally has not liked camps as he is not an avid sports fan or into traditional day camps. He loves technology, Roblox games, and making videos. He had so much fun he asked to go back a third week. He already is planning to go back next summer. He had Ms.Shannon and Mr. Choi who were great!

My son did like this camp- but I can’t say that much learning happened. After he “filmed” his movie I don’t think any else productive happened. I also think he was able to get on you tube for majority of the time. His counselors were very kind and sweet - Ms. T and Mr. Dahra .

I want to start by positively mentioning Lucy. She was wonderful to the kids. Nicole was extremely responsive and helpful and I don’t believe the shortcomings of the last camp were on her. Positives. Nice counselors, minus one who my kid said was mean. But I’m not harping on that. Lucy was great. Kids come home saying they had fun and loved it. My son did learn a few new things Constructive criticism: I’d like to see more structure. My son learned a few cool things, but it seemed that they had unorganized video plans. They didn’t story board or plan out the videos, he was just told to go film. I’d like to see them work on something useful from beginning to end. He went in to YouTube gamers wanting to broadcast his FC mobile game. He was told that the game is too long. So the idea was completely scrapped. Why not teach him to film it and edit the good parts into a great usable video? He practices sports broadcasting skills doing this which is way more useful than what he ended up doing. He ended up doing a rate the TV show video which caused a reaction of boos from the campers for his rating choices. So his last impression of the camp was that everyone hated him and his video and he refused to show it to us. He previously attended YouTube creators camp, we chose gamers for the last. He was combined with creators and made to watch the same videos he’d already seen. We specifically signed him up for a different camp for that reason. It seemed that the Chinese theater location was thrown together last minute and it showed. And I believed it was more expensive. My son didn’t get to use his creator bucks he had saved (though we warned him that could happen moving to a different camp location). The parking was convenient but not cleared by security who constantly told us we couldn’t park there for pick up, I found it odd that they showed a camp full of kids ranging from age 5-15, which most being in the 8-11 range the last half of the new Spider-Man movie, as it is rated PG-13, but also some parents may have been planning to take their kids to see it. His certificate was beautiful from the other locations, he was visibly disappointed in his black and white paper copy of a certificate he received. His cousins even said the wrong camp on it. Lastly, the camp advertised meeting industry professionals. Unless the kids didn’t tell me something the only industry professionals I can think of that they met were The Minions. The kids found this fun, but my son is in the entertainment industry, so I think I thought professionals meant actual working professionals from the YouTube creator or filmmaking profession. My sister and I are torn over doing this camp again. The kids had an overall positive experience and had a lot of fun, but we were disappointed in a lot of aspects of the structure of the camp. And for us it was a bit of a drive from the valley. Edit: the drive from the valley isn’t a criticism on them, a valley location would be great, but we know we chose to make the drive. That’s because we were really sold on this camp. We just aren’t as sold now.

I wanted to take a moment to share how incredibly positive our experience was with the Shark Tank Entrepreneurs Camp during the week of July 27, and especially to recognize Eric for the role he played in making the week so memorable. My son absolutely loved this camp. What stood out to us most was how much he enjoyed learning from Eric. Throughout the week, he would come home talking about the activities, what he had learned, and the experience overall. He specifically spoke about how knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive Eric was with the kids. As a parent, it means a lot when your child not only has fun at camp, but comes home genuinely excited about what they are learning. Eric clearly has a wonderful ability to connect with the kids, keep them engaged, and share his knowledge in a way that makes learning interesting and enjoyable. His enthusiasm and attentiveness throughout the week did not go unnoticed, and I really wanted to make sure his leadership was recognized. I also want to extend a sincere thank you to the organizers, site supervisor, and camp counselors. Creative Kids Camp consistently provides such a positive experience, and we really appreciate the care and effort that goes into creating an environment where the kids feel welcomed, engaged, and excited to participate. Thank you to Eric and the entire Creative Kids Camp team for making this such a fantastic week. Experiences like this are exactly why we continue to have such positive things to say about Creative Kids Camp!

My child had fun the first two days. Third and final day I picked him up and noticed he had been crying. I will not go into details, but my child left the camp without the trophy everyone else received, feeling sad and hurt. No one told me about the thing that caused them to exclude my child from that final activity. And that makes it seem from my perspective like he was being punished for something. Just overall terrible communication. Just a quick, "Hey! Just so you know, this happened today, here's your child's trophy, etc, etc." Would've gone a long way. I also reached out to support and haven't heard back from them. Very disappointed.

I have been sending my son to Creator Camp in Katy the last two summers. He has really enjoyed it and always looks forward to going back. All the kids and instructors are friendly and welcoming. He just finished 2-D cartoon animator’s camp and loved Miss Ariel! She made the camp a lot of fun!

Both of my kids attended this summer camp, and they absolutely loved it! They had an amazing experience from start to finish. The teachers were all wonderful, caring, and engaging. A special thank you to Miss Bree—she is fantastic and made such a positive impact on our children. We truly appreciate everything the team did to make this a fun and memorable summer. Highly recommend this camp! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

My son, age 10, attended several Camps this summer and he enjoyed and learned a lot at all of them. He learned how to use the apps to make videos and made several videos at each camp. The instructors were hands on and very knowledgeable. He enjoyed, Mr. Jonathan and Ms. Bee, and Ms. Kendall for instructors. We will definitely be back next summer!
