What people are saying about Summer Programs at The Albany Academies:
"It was a great experience.
The program is well organized. The kids are closely monitored by teachers and staff, and the activities are academic and fun. The teachers really worked to build a rapport with the campers."
"I love that kids are active all day.
My son was always ready for bed. He was so chatty. I could tell he was actively engaged throughout the day."
"LEAP is a great concept.
Variety is extremely fun with opportunity to meet more kids with common interest."
"My daughters had a terrific experience.
Best camps they have ever attended!"
"The camp is well organized
with good communication to the parents. As a parent, I like the co-ed classes in the summer and the consistent, high quality of the teachers through out the sessions. Our son loves everything about camp!"
"The LEAP program is very unique
and my daughter enjoys it every year. I like the fact that classes are taught by teachers, not simply run by counselors. That being said, the counselors play a wonderful role in the program, as well."
“The main strengths of the program
are that the classes are taught by teachers who really know the material, which is presented in a creative and educational way. As well, the program is very well-run and well-supervised.”

“Amazing program!
My girls were so happy and loved it! They learned more Spanish in 3 weeks than they did over 2 years in their school.”
“The director was amazing!
She took us on a tour before camp started, stayed in touch with me when our girls had a tough time adjusting and easily helped us add a week. Counselors were great! My girls miss them already!”
“The leadership program was awesome!
I work in HR and I run Mentoring and Leadership programs and the AA program had nuances of the programs that I do for adults. I was very impressed!”
“This was my daughter’s first summer at Academies.
She was so excited to go to camp each day which, as a parent, I had hoped for. Staff was amazing…thanks for a great experience!”
“The programs have a wide variety of quality activities
which give children a choice. The program is well organized and supervised.”
“The Musical Theater program
at the Academies has the most incredible staff we’ve ever seen involved with performance arts for children.”
“This program has continued to help my children grow
in so many ways. The issues that are associated with a lack of structure for the summer are no longer a problem for my children. They maintain a fully structured daily schedule while having the "best time ever" (their actual quote)!"
“Because of the amazing results
we saw with the summer camp - we decided to enroll in AAG / AA full time 2 years ago and we are so thankful that we were able to make it work."
