My sons one word for trip...... AWESOME!!!

Wish they had this program when I was in school. My son made so many new friends and contacts he will have for a lifetime. Opened his eyes to what is out there in the world. Thanks Envision.

Excellent experience

I was a little apprehensive at first registering my daughter because of the cost. During and after her attendence I am so glad she went. Money well spent.

Amazing experience!

I had an amazing experience! Counting the days to return next year!

Envision was an unforgettable experience. You learn everything from independence to suturing to making new friends. I walked in knowing no one and walked out with 20 friends who still stay in touch a year later. I never wanted to go home.

How to safely cut the apron strings

My son had never been away from home before. He'll be 12 in October and he had never once been "on his own" without at least one family member around. He was nervous. God knows I was nervous. And yet, after family orientation, that all changed. Envision runs a tight ship. They have multiple things in place to ensure the safety of the children in their care, and to put parents like me at ease. My kid had the best time of his life. Whatever nerves he had were gone by the time I went to say goodbye for the week just like mine were. He came back more confident in his own abilities because he was allowed room to grow in a laid back, yet no less effective environment. He had to rely on himself and his roommates to be punctual and responsible for his own things. He's more independent. He doesn't question his reactions to things as much. He made friends that he's still keeping in touch with. I can't recommend this program enough. It really was the best thing for him, and is an experience he will carry for a lifetime. I got a week's vacation knowing that my child was in the very best of hands. Every concern and question raised was addressed and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.
