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.

Unfortunate experience for a specialized camp
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.

Great instructors, but very concerning management practices (The Woodlands location)
My two children (ages 6 and 10) attended Creator Camp in The Woodlands during the week of June 8–12. I want to start by saying that they truly enjoyed their instructors (Mr. Trey and Ms. Sam) and loved the camp content. They came home excited each day about what they were learning and creating. Based on the instructors and curriculum alone, this would have easily been a 5‑star experience.
However, I have serious concerns about the camp management, specifically the on-site manager, Ms. Bri, and I feel it’s important that both the organization and other parents are aware.
Several behaviors stood out as inappropriate and concerning:
* Children are not allowed to sit during recess, even if they are tired—they are required to keep playing
* Children are not allowed to talk during lunch, even quietly, and are disciplined if they do
* Kids are threatened with losing recess for normal social behavior like talking with peers
These rules alone are concerning, but the most troubling situation involved group punishment. My children (who are in different groups) both shared that when a few kids did not follow directions, the entire camp was punished. All children were required to sit at tables during dismissal with their heads down and were not allowed to lift them.
As a parent, I find this type of disciplinary approach unusual and inappropriate, especially for young children across multiple groups who were not involved. It raises serious concerns about how behavior is being managed and what other disciplinary practices may be occurring.
I also want to note that this does not appear to be an isolated concern—there was another review posted in early June describing very similar issues at this location.
We are currently enrolled for another session in July, and while my kids did enjoy the camp overall, I am now questioning whether to return due to these concerns. For the cost of this program, parents should feel confident that their children are not only learning and having fun, but also being treated in a developmentally appropriate, respectful, and supportive environment.
Please take a close look at the management approach at The Woodlands location, especially since this is not the first negative review towards similar practices from this person. and consider additional coaching or changes. The instructors and curriculum are strong—the leadership approach is what needs immediate attention.

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention, and for highlighting the great work of Mr. Trey and Ms. Sam. We are thrilled to hear your children loved the curriculum and came home excited each day, but we are deeply concerned by the rest of your report.
What you described does not reflect our values, our training, or the environment we want to create at Creator Camp. We take feedback regarding student well-being incredibly seriously, and we have immediately addressed this with our leadership team.
Following your review, we spoke directly with our Woodlands camp manager, Ms. Bri, to investigate these claims and clarify our policies:
Lunch and Recess Guidelines: We want to explicitly clarify that children are absolutely allowed, and encouraged, to talk, socialize, and laugh during lunch and recess. Furthermore, any child who is tired is always allowed to sit down and rest during recess. We are not sure where the information regarding these restrictions originated, but we have reiterated to our entire onsite team that recess and lunch should be a fun, relaxing break for the kids.
Disciplinary Practices: We do not condone or practice collective punishment, nor do we ever want children to be disciplined by putting their heads down at dismissal. Our behavior management training focuses on positive reinforcement and addressing issues individually, rather than penalizing an entire group for the actions of a few.
Please rest assured that we are utilizing your feedback to provide immediate coaching and closer oversight at our Woodlands location to ensure our leadership approach aligns perfectly with the high-quality experience our instructors deliver.
We completely agree that for the cost of our program, you deserve total peace of mind that your children are in a supportive, respectful, and developmentally appropriate environment. Since you are enrolled for July, we would love the opportunity to speak with you directly prior to your next session to assure you of the steps we've taken. Please feel free to reach out to our administration team so we can connect.
Creator Camp was "just ok"
Creator Camp was "just ok" in my eyes.
For the record, I would have given Creator Camp 2.5 stars if that had been an option.
If you want the TLDR, I felt that this camp was basically expensive babysitting.
If you want my whole review, here you go. (It's long.)
To be fair, I might have had my expectations too high, but I'll break down the positives and negatives.
The first day, was a huge disappointment for me as a parent. There was ZERO signage outside, so the only way I knew I was in the right area was that other cars were gathering in that same area. (Once I got out of the car to get my kids checked in, I actually spotted a really nice sandwich board Creator Camp sign inside the building that I assume was supposed to be outside, but it wasn't).
I think they also should have had a sign outside saying
"Doors open at 8:30". A lot of us were there early because the emails we were sent said "Camp starts at 8:30". Usually, that distinction isn't that big of a deal, but Creator Camp offers an early drop off option, so when us parents that didn't pay for early drop off saw the kids getting dropped off early, there was a lot of confusion. Perhaps in the email they sent us just a few days before camp, they should have reminded us that early drop off was an option and if we see kids going in early, their parents paid for that option.
But here are the 3 things I'm most upset about:
1) When I picked up my kids the first day, they both told me that the playground they were sent to for afternoon recess was literally dangerous and falling apart.
2) When I texted the Camp Manager (we were provided his number should any questions/ concerns arise) about the playground situation - he literally never responded. Ever.
3) This is the part that may or may not be Creator Camp's fault - maybe my expectations were too high, but is it really too much to ask that my kids actually LEARN something while attending something called "Creator Camp"? To give a little context, there are different Creator Camps, and the one we chose is called "Lego Animators", and in that particular camp, the kids use this app you download onto your iPad in the days prior to camp. My kids told me that on the first morning, all the Creator Camp staff did was was show them a video or two about how to use the app (which took just a few minutes) and the rest of Days 1 and 2, the camp staff was available for questions. Literally, that was it.
Somehow I just thought there would be more learning / teaching. I thought there would be more, "use this camera angle if you want to do this" or "every few shots, stop and make sure everything is lined up and looking consistent," stuff like that. But that's not what my kids conveyed to me. In fact, one of my kids knew more about the app than their assigned staff person did.
But the bottom line is, would I send my kids to Creator Camp again? And the answer is... maybe. And that is because my kids had an absolute BLAST and want to go again. I would just go into it with different expectations.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review. We genuinely appreciate you sharing both what worked and what didn’t from your perspective.
We want to start by saying we’re really glad your kids had an absolute blast and are eager to return. That joy, engagement, and excitement to come back is something we aim for for all our students.
Regarding arrival and signage, we understand how the first morning could have felt confusing. Our emails note that camp starts at 8:30, with doors opening shortly before, and early drop off being a separate, paid option. That said, we agree there’s room for clearer on site signage and reminders, and we’re already improving this for future sessions.
On the playground concern, we take safety seriously. We only use facilities that are approved by our host locations, and campers are always supervised. That said, we appreciate this being raised and will follow up directly with the site to ensure everything meets appropriate standards. We’re also disappointed to hear you didn’t receive a response from the Camp Manager, as that’s not our expectation, and we’ll be addressing that internally.
As for the Lego Animators camp itself, we want to gently clarify our instructional approach. Our programs are intentionally hands on and project based. Rather than lecturing or step by step instruction for hours, instructors model key concepts, demonstrate tools, and then coach students individually as they create. This mirrors how creative tools are used in the real world and allows kids to explore, experiment, and problem solve at their own pace. Some students do come in with prior experience, and in those cases our staff aim to support and challenge them rather than reteach what they already know.
We also want to share that the videos your children created are sent to the email address used during registration (sometimes it can end up in your spam folder). If you didn’t receive them or would like help locating your child’s projects, you’re always welcome to message us directly and we’ll be happy to help track them down for you.
That said, we hear you on wanting more visibility into what was taught and how learning happened. That’s valid, and we’re continuing to improve how we communicate learning goals and outcomes to parents.
We truly appreciate your honesty and the fact that, even with these concerns, you’d consider returning with adjusted expectations. Feedback like this helps us refine and improve, and we’re grateful you took the time to share it.
