Parent Testimonials

  • “The programs are so hands-on, my kids love coming to all the different camps. They make amazing friends, they learn so much about very different stuff, and they are active ALL DAY LONG (no electronics and no complaints!).”

  • “Our family just loves Akron Fossils’ camps. I love knowing that when my kids are introduced to “new” topics in Science class at school, they most likely already have a basic understanding of the material they are being taught from the great experiences they have had at AFSC.”

  • “My kids tell me all about the types of clouds they see in the sky, tell me about how carbon monoxide is dangerous, and they argue about whether Pluto should be a “planet”....and my kids are only 5 and 7!!!!”
