The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
State-of-the-Art Labs, Rocketry & Collaborative Team Challenges in Darien. Designed for Ages 5 to 13. Circuitry Innovation Camp's schedule balances STEM, robotics & coding activities with enough free time that campers didn't seem over-programmed. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
The pool program at Circuitry Innovation Camp 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). Counselor training covers the essentials; nothing exceptional, but nothing that raised concerns either. (per our Darien visit, est. 1975)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Transportation logistics at Circuitry Innovation Camp are functional and mostly on time; catering covers the basics — hot lunch, nut-free policy, afternoon snacks.
Tuition Range: $1600 – $1850 / week

⚠️ What to Consider

- Facilities are a bit dated compared to newer camps in Darien
- Carline can back up during peak drop-off times (per our Darien visit, est. 1975)
