My daughters had so much fun at Superhero and YouTube Gamers camp this week! They were even sad when the 3 days were over and want to come back next summer.

Everly had such a great time at Creator Camp! She enjoyed applying the skills learned and creating new videos. We are grateful for the care from her teacher, Ms. Dani! We look forward to going to another camp soon.

My son loved this camp and we will definitely be signing up for it next year! His teacher Steve was great and he really learned a lot in only 3 days. I would highly recommend it.

My son had a wonderful time at Creator Camp! He was super excited to attend the Jr. Moviemakers: Superheroes class, and it did not disappoint! He enjoyed going through each step of the moviemaking process, and his teacher, Ms.K, was awesome! He came home each day sharing all that he learned and excited to return. He's so proud of the film he made, and smiles ear to ear whenever he watches it!!

My son says, “It was truly awesome. I loved my instructor and the things we did at Creator Camp. Ms. Shannon was truly awesome too!” It was a great experience as a parent. We ran into some registration issues with one of the weeks, but the camp director went above and beyond to help problem solve and offer solutions. In the end, it all worked out! LOVE the Bindeman center location!

Unfortunately for a specialized a camp, I am not thrilled with the outcome. The first day was a bit of disaster as the lead Supervisor was sick and could not attend. Without him - things did not run smoothly. Kids were waiting a long time for iPads to be assigned and passwords figured out etc. Then my daughter’s rented iPad was not charged and only had 30% power. It ended up dying and then it was a hunt for the proper charging cord. This shows me that there was no prep involved for this camp. All iPad rentals should have been ready to go and 100% charged. The kids had the VN app uploaded on their iPads. However in the “how to” video they watched to learn what to do, a different app was used. So the kids needed help as the instruction video didn’t correspond to their app. Apparently the app in the video was from the camp last summer. Hearing about this is frustrating. This is a YouTube creator camp - how can you not have a fresh video for the app you’ve planned to use? Not only that but my other daughter was then told to use CapCut! This was not the uploaded app OR the app from the video. On the first day the kids learned to do intros and outros. But my older daughter didn’t finish hers. Turns out the iPads were taken away during breaks and the one hour lunch. My daughter couldn’t work on her video but she had to sit and watch cartoons multiple times during the camp day. I did not send my children to camp to sit in front of a television. During the break outside, the counsellors did not engage with the kids and my children were bored. This is the only camp this summer that resulted in such a response from my children. I will say that the supervisor returned the following day and my children enjoyed the rest of their time… but then I saw their end of week videos. Well I saw my older daughter’s completed video. My younger daughter apparently filmed too much and her video was too long to edit so it was never completed. This is totally not okay. Add to that the videos are terrible because all of the kids had to film at the same time in the same room, so all you hear is background chatter. This camp was not worth the high price and did not deliver.

Mr. Tay, Made the class fun and i had a lot of fun.

Our daughter did two weeks of this camp. She made new friends, learned new things, and had an overall great experience. We can't wait to do it again next year. She loved her teachers Rozlin & Jack.
