The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
State-of-the-Art Labs, Rocketry & Collaborative Team Challenges in New Rochelle. Designed for Ages 5 to 13. Some Ages 5 to 13 activities at Circuitry of New Rochelle Innovation Camp were genuinely engaging; others felt like filler between the highlights. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
We saw genuine swim instruction on one visit and largely unstructured pool time on another — consistency is the issue, not capability. (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1980)
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:5 (Junior Makers), 1:7 (Advanced Lab). Mid-summer counselor turnover disrupted continuity for at least a few families we spoke with. (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1980)
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Carline at Circuitry of New Rochelle Innovation Camp was disorganized during our visit, and we heard mixed reports on how consistently allergy protocols are enforced.
Tuition Range: $1600 – $1850 / week
👍 What We Loved
- A few families we spoke with in New Rochelle had entirely positive experiences
- Some specialty STEM, robotics & coding programming stood out despite the overall inconsistency (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1980)
- Tuition ($1600 – $1850 / week) is more reasonable than comparable camps in New Rochelle
⚠️ What to Consider
- We heard mixed reports on how allergy protocols are actually enforced (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1980)
- The advertised 1:5 (Junior Makers) ratio didn't consistently hold up in practice (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1980)
- Billing questions we raised took longer than they should have to get answered (per our New Rochelle visit, est. 1980)
