The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
Hands-On Engineering, AI Tinkering & Outdoor Science Discovery in Trumbull. Designed for Ages 5 to 13. The STEM, robotics & coding programming covers what you'd expect competently, without much that surprised us either way. (per our Trumbull visit, est. 2013) Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
The pool program at Catalyst of Trumbull Tech & Maker Academy covers the basics competently — heated water, certified staff, a reasonable ratio in the water.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:5 (Junior Makers), 1:7 (Advanced Lab). Counselors are a mix of mature high schoolers and college-age staff, generally competent and attentive. (per our Trumbull visit, est. 2013)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Transportation logistics at Catalyst of Trumbull Tech & Maker Academy are functional and mostly on time; catering covers the basics — hot lunch, nut-free policy, afternoon snacks.
