“My eleven year old son enjoyed attending APEX every day. When he came home each day, he wasn’t totally spent, the way he is after school. He was sad when it ended. His overall attitude about camp was positive, which is a substantial contrast to his typical negative feelings about school and other camps. During APEX he gained new pro-social skills such as accepting that not all people feel the same way about things. He gained confidence that he has value, that adults other than his parent care for him, and that he can make new friends. The parent coaching sessions were incredibly valuable for me. The way I view my son is with more grace, flexibility and understanding. I also feel more creative and successful in leading my son out of potential lid-flipping spirals. He and I have a stronger connection and we continue to build on the skills we both learned at APEX. I recommend APEX without reservation. If you are worried about giving up too much of your summer to APEX, don’t give it another worry. Register!”

“The progress my kid made during the camp period was impressive. He tends to be very oppositional, and we saw a lot of improvement on this matter with lasting effect.”
