My son went last summer and begged to go again every week! We didn't let him go but have already signed him up for this summer. Ours is at his elementary school and they group by grade in the fall.
Yes, he did have to take apart an electronics object. He did a VCR. He was allowed to use anything on the inside he wanted. They were just not allowed to actually put any power to their inventions. He wasn't bothered at all and he made a Mars Rover prototype that he plans on building "for real life when he's in college. "
I loved the creative problem solving they did in the other units beyond the take-apart section. It was well worth every penny and one of the best camps he's been to.
