The camp fell short in promoting a supportive environment. My daughter was traumatized by the group of teenagers she was with.

My daughter attended the program in Columbia. Overall she had a positive experience but it was a VERY light intro to medicine. Just know that there's lots of NYC sightseeing/walking off campus, more than expected. She was excited for her Peds class but there was a mix up with their schedule and the class never happened. No makeup, nothing. Disappointed. Great for someone who's never been to NYC and wants a taste of NYC life.

90% walking in 95 degree heat, 9% learning, 1% hands on experience… and i got the rudest camp counselor there was. he was even rude to his co camp counselor but she had literally no backbone so she couldn’t stand up for herself much less for us when we got talked down on. i made a couple friends and spoke to a few doctors but overall not worth the cost.

We work hard to hire counselors that care about our students and are trained to keep our students safe, so I think your experience was not usual.
