“My daughter loved the Activ8 camps. Her favorites were Dance and Sports camps. The last day of dance camp they do a performance, and that got my daughter excited to show us what she had learned. Because of this, she was even more willing to learn and participate.”

–Liliana Blankenship

“My nine year-old son, Austin, was excited when it was time for summer break. I signed him up for a few Activ8 classes to pass some of the down time. At first he was not too happy. He thought it was just more school. His first class was with Ms. Cindy and “Kid vs Wild”. He had a blast! He really liked his teacher and had a lot of fun. “Science you can Eat” was fun too. Of course we had to recreate each experiment at home. The best one was how to make your own ice cream. “Ocean Explorers” is on this weeks list. Austin had so much fun that when he created his own FACEBOOK page, he indicated that he graduated from “Continuing Ed at Columbus State.”
