WorldsStrides is a Gold Mine
Envision is just way too expensive for what you’re getting. The camp gets you to come there by saying “you’re smart and you should come to the camp” if you were nominated. All we did was spend 3k to do things we could have done at home. For the engineering we only built a 3d printed robot we could have bought for $20 and make stupid base to live in on Minecraft for the habitat project. The Minecraft base making was he highlight of the whole week for the presentation!? I could do that at home for crying out loud!!! We got sheep blood to drop on paper, studied a picture of a crime scene on a projector, and made foot prints on biofoam to study criminology which really wasn’t as much as I was expecting to do. They were unorganized and couldn’t find the brushes for 1 type of powder when it came to the finger print analysis. They found the brushes, eventually, realized the powder was toxic, and didn’t give it to us. The medicine part was better because we got to dissect a sheep’s lung and do wilderness survival. They used a YouTube video for the instructions for wilderness survival!? Can you at least explain it to me in person?! I could pull up that YouTube video and learn how to save Jimmy when he falls off a cliff! That’s what I paid 3k for. To watch a YouTube video. They bought $30 fake skin and needles to teach us how doctors do surgery which was fine if we don’t consider the fact they were cheap and didn’t give us the full skin but cut one of them up and gave the parts to 3 people. I’m paying 3k to get $10 worth of fake skin! AT LEAST GIVE ME THE WHOLE THING! CAN YOU GUYS SPARE $20!? No they can’t because this camp is a gold mine for WorldStrides. The friends I made at camp though were very nice. We all were mad that we got ripped off. All of us were very similar and nice to one another which I really enjoyed. They were some of the best friends I made which I appreciated a lot. The staff was also pretty nice. They cared about us and gave us lunch even though there was a flood warning. In addition we went to Starbucks with our teacher. Our scholar assistant bought us all snacks at the vending machine. The people were nice but the program was a gold mine for WorkdStrides.
