A great program!

My son had a wonderful experience at his Envision experience. I was hesitant to send him somewhere without one of his parents being there for six days, but I honestly did not worry about him much while he was gone. Envision was very communicative and gave me text updates and e-mails daily, sometimes several times a day. I had to call to leave a message one day and the lady who answered the telephone was really helpful. I felt like he was being taken care of and I am glad we chose to send him. He learned so much from his experiences and from his advisors there that he will be able to use in the future.

Excellent career exposure

The Envision camp on media production was fantastic for our son, who is entering his senior year in high school. He was given exposure to many aspects of film making, production, editing and publication. He was confident he wanted to "make movies" but this was his first experience with what really happens behind the scenes. He has returned home with a better definition of what he wants to do and what to look for in a college choice. Additionally, he had a wonderful time and met many new friends that he continues to communicate with. We chose this camp because he was somewhat naïve about the industry and the options available in film production. He now has a better idea of what it takes and what he wants to pursue in college. He also loved New York and came home more mature than when he left! The dorm experience was a nice prelude to college.

I saw a more matured leader in my child after going through the program.

MY Child a 7th grader attended the Youth leadership program at New York Maritime College and grateful for the content of the course, the teaching program and for the coordination itself. The program had a steep learning curve on my child providing him an opportunity to communicate , lead, follow, plan, coordinate tasks, organize his time and activities and a breakthrough of the exposure of the simulation activities in the program. He has been enrolled for the STEM program coming up this summer and we are eagerly waiting for his participation. Thank you!!

NYLF: Medicine Review for future parents

My teenager attended the Youth Leadership Forum: Medicine program. He was honored to be selected for this prestigious experience. The program advisors were informative, pleasant and catered to my son's interests. The event was 10 days. He traveled independently to Washington DC where he was greeted by the Envisions staff and safely transported to the Maryland campus. The program curriculum was fully loaded with lectures, medical experiences, mentors who advised them and took them on a tour of the city. Each day I was informed of his agenda by email and text. My son was roomed with another student who supported him and they enjoyed the day's activities with many other students. When I spoke with my son after each evening, he responded with excitement, new experiences and friendships. As a parent, I would highly recommend this program to anyone's high schooler who is looking to enrich their learning and future leadership. Kudos to the who Envision team!

Great experience!

From registration to pick up everything went very smoothly. My child had a great time and made many good friends. There were many adult counsellors who made the experience safe and engaging! An excellent program!
