“"Melanie now seems to enjoy expressing her thoughts by writing! Yippee!!"”

“"The leaders really connected with the kids. I loved hearing my child talk about them. She had the time of her life and learned a great deal in the process. "”

“"I found the staff very professional and approachable. I felt confident that my daughter was in very good hands with skilled professionals."”

“"I expected to learn how to write an amazing argumentative essay and remember how... that is exactly what I learned. It's an awesome camp and an experience I will NEVER forget."”

“"I really enjoyed the variety of classes and the small class sizes. I feel more prepared for math and reading now. I would recommend this camp because it prepares you for being independent in college."”

“"The best feature of the camp was the teachers. They are very passionate about what they do. Camp was very college-like. I felt like I was a Stanford student. I would recommend the program because it's a real college experience that every kid should have. At first I thought it was just sleep away school, but I was pleasantly surprised. Compared to other academic camps this was the best by FAR! The Critical Reading Instructor had the ability to get into everything he teaches. If I was a principal, I would fight to get him."”

“"The teachers were excellent and did their job well. The camp was very good, and I learned a lot of stuff including writing, logic, reading, and making videos. You get to go to some amazing places like Santa Cruz, play sports, and make new friends. The writing instructor improved my essay a lot, and I found the five-step paragraph method to be the most helpful part of the writing class."”

“"I learned a lot but it was really fun at the same time. I didn't really feel like it was much different from an in-person class."”

“"I would recommend this camp for students who wanted to take an online course because this one week camp will make you feel a lot more confident and comfortable when you are speaking."”

“"Yes, I would recommend this camp for students who wanted to take an online course because it is very helpful and helps you improve your writing in a matter of 5 days. It was a really fun experience, and I hope to do it again next Summer."”

“"Yes, I would. It's a very short course, but it forces you to write something and write for a very long time and be dedicated to one piece. It also is very helpful on learning what to improve, going back to basics, and getting to meet people who love to write as well. I especially liked this camp better than others because it felt more personalized and all the people in my class were great."”

“"Yes, I would recommend it. It's a manageable amount of work and time, and it's a great way to stay academically engaged over the summer. I additionally learned a lot of things about creative writing that I had never been taught in school."”

“I have been mentoring a girl from a low income family since she was in 8th grade. She has a great deal of academic promise, and we have been focusing on college preparedness. The video production workshop she joined at UC Berkeley through Education Unlimited gave her an opportunity to experience what it will be like to live in a dorm and attend challenging classes. She benefited greatly from the caring staff and the opportunity to work with a diverse group of fellow students.”

“At school, the teachers usually teach to the top of the class, so I was left not knowing what to do. This camp was different - it was personalized to my needs. The equipment was easy to use and very efficient. I wouldn't change a thing.”

“I didn't realize that the counselors would know so much. I was worried that I wouldn't meet new people and make friends, but it all turned out great. The most helpful part of the class was getting to actually film and direct a scene. I'd never really done that before. Also learning how to use the editing software system was helpful. The Boardwalk field trip was a really good trip.”

“It was an awesome experience working with the video instructors, making movies and trying to meet a deadline. I wanted to learn how to use camera angles effectively, write a script, and learn how to edit and I was able to learn everything. Being professional filmmakers, the instructors knew everything. I wouldn't change anything - maybe make it longer.”

“It was an amazing experience. I loved the classes. The public speaking and debate skills I learned will be remembered. The professor and students were so interesting and amazing. Thank you to everyone who believed in me and made this opportunity possible.”

“I spent two summers at Stanford University with Education Unlimited. I was at their debate camps, and I always left prepared and energized for the upcoming school year. The instruction was intensive and in depth, and the instructors were all well connected at universities I was interested in attending. There is no doubt that my college prospects were enhanced by my attendance at camp.”

“I have learned more in one week with Education Unlimited about public speaking than in my whole school year. I am a much more confident speaker than I was at the beginning of camp because I now know good ways to write speeches. I recommend this camp because you learn a lot and make new friends.”

“Everything was excellent. I liked the small size of the program, and the organization was awesome. Public speaking used to be so frightening but this camp made me much more comfortable. A+!”

“My debate instructor, Jeff, was GREAT. The best debate instructor ever. He was supportive, friendly, caring, understanding and nice. I don't think there will ever be another debate instructor as good as him. I found the mini-debates to be the most helpful part of the class.”

“Unlike many summer camps, your staff clearly demonstrates they are subject matter experts, not just bodies filling an open position.”

“I liked meeting new people and making new friends, having a good time learning to speak in public. I had an awesome time due to the instructors. The debate instructor has a good way of making you feel comfortable while speaking. She is nice and has fun activities to help you learn. The most helpful part of the debate instruction was learning to keep talking no matter what happens. The electives kept us exercising our mind. I wouldn't change anything.”

“I would definitely recommend this camp to other students. It was a fun and chill way to spend a week. I didn't think it was going to be fun, but it was a blast for me. The delivery instructor's attention to my personal needs was amazing. I am now not afraid to speak because I can walk, pause and think comfortably.”
