We cannot say enough good things about their experience. From the very first day, our kids were excited, and that excitement never faded. Every single morning, they were eager and ready to go back, which honestly says more than any review could. The camp leaders were exceptional. They were warm, engaged, and clearly cared about creating a genuine connection with each kid. Our kids talked about them constantly, and it was obvious they felt safe, seen, and supported the entire time. The adventures were the highlight of every day. Whether they were exploring, building, hiking, or diving into some new outdoor challenge, our kids came home buzzing with stories. There was a real sense of exploration and discovery woven into the programming, and it clearly sparked their curiosity and confidence. Even on the wet days, our kids came home happy, muddy, and full of stories, which taught them something valuable too: that a little rain doesn't have to get in the way of a good time. As parents, watching our kids come home each evening tired in the best way - happy, content, and full of things to share - was the best part of our day too. It's clear this camp isn't just about keeping kids busy; it's about giving them a genuinely joyful, enriching experience they look forward to and remember. We are so grateful for the weeks our kids had with you. Highly, highly recommend to any family looking for a camp where kids are truly cared for, challenged, and given the freedom to have fun outdoors.

Our seven-year-old LOVES having nature-filled days with the nurturing School of Wonder’s wonderful crew! We signed him up when he was four and a half and are always on the look for opportunities where he can spend the day with the program. 🐾🌳🥾 I love the adaptability and creativity of the organizers. They turn a beautiful summer day into one where kids bike around the park and a gloomy, cold, stormy day into a memorable time in the park (yes, they were staying close to a shelter). Truly remarkable!

My kindergartener can't get enough of School of Wonder. Every week I pick him up and he's immersed in a different imaginative game. He doesn't want to stop playing until he absolutely must. The teachers are great listeners and collaborators. I love this program.

School of Wonder is a truly special program in Park Slope. The environment strikes that rare balance between creative exploration and thoughtful structure, which allows children to feel both supported and inspired. The staff are warm, attentive, and clearly experienced in meeting children where they are. What stands out most is their ability to cultivate curiosity—learning feels organic rather than forced, and the children are genuinely engaged. There is a strong emphasis on social-emotional development, collaboration, and confidence-building, which is invaluable. The setting itself is intimate and calm, and the programming feels intentional and well-designed. It’s the kind of place where children are not just cared for, but really seen. Highly recommend for families looking for a nurturing, creative, and developmentally thoughtful environment.

School of Wonder is a wonderful program that our kid says is favorite afterschool program for the last 2 years. He loves exploring prospect park with his thoughtful and creative teachers and the ability to be free in nature and away from screens is such a fantastic experience. Our son has grown a lot from being at wonder year round. Wonder has sparked so much curiosity, imagination and independence and a love of being outdoors in him. So grateful to have this program in our neighborhood!
