The Comprehensive Mom Audit
1. Program Focus & Daily Activities
State-of-the-Art Labs, Rocketry & Collaborative Team Challenges in Cos Cob. Designed for Ages 5 to 13. Programming quality at Circuitry Robotics & Science Camp seemed to depend heavily on which counselor was leading a given activity block. Sessions run 2 to 8 Weeks, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM daily.
2. Aquatics & Water Safety
Lifeguard staffing at Circuitry Robotics & Science Camp looked adequate on the schedule but thin in practice when we counted heads at the pool deck.
3. Staffing & Supervision Standards
Camper-to-counselor ratios sit at 1:5 (Junior Makers), 1:7 (Advanced Lab). Staffing quality at Circuitry Robotics & Science Camp varied noticeably by bunk — some counselors were excellent, others seemed undertrained for Ages 5 to 13.
4. Logistics, Transportation & Catering
Bus routes serving Cos Cob were inconsistent in our tracking, sometimes running 15-20 minutes off schedule. Lunch quality varied by day.
Tuition Range: $1240 – $1490 / week
