Envision Experience Avis 4 817

The programming lessons managed to teach me in 3 days, what originally took me 3 years to understand. truly was a lifesaver and prevented me from quitting my path altogether.

It was fun while also very educational, but it was a very short time.

My daughter was very excited about attending the Intensive Law and Trial Program. As a parent that lives on a small income I asked if they offered scholarships for low income families. They told me yes, my daughter took her time to write a 300 page essay for them to come back and say that they no longer offer a scholarships. When I asked to cancel they stated the deposit is not refundable. Why would they tell me to make the deposit and send the essay if they didn’t have funds for assistance with a scholarship. I am very disappointed and this is just a scam when you can take your child to intern with a law firm or county attorney office or state attorney office for free.
Long story short, now I have to pay for everyone that donated to her go fund me page for the deposit because Envision kept the deposit.
This is a total scam. They do not over help for low income families.
Many of these programs—like those run by Envision—are for-profit entities. While they offer a structured experience, they are often criticized for:
• Mass Marketing: They send "invitations" to thousands of students, making it feel like an exclusive honor when it is largely a tuition-based summer camp. 
• The "Deposit Trap": They often require a non-refundable deposit before financial aid is even decided, which puts low-income families at a massive disadvantage.

I do not recommend this profit entity.

My 14-year-old son absolutely loved his Envision experience in Washington DC last summer. This was his first trip away from home for any length of time and he would’ve stayed for another week or more if he could’ve! He got along great with his roommate and still communicates with many of the kids he met there. My son absolutely loved the program leaders and still talks about how kind and fun they were. He also commented on how well-organized the program was and stated that he always felt safe wherever they went because of that. My son wants to go back again and try out one of Envision’s other summer programs. He won’t be going this coming summer, because it’s definitely not an inexpensive program. However, I feel it was well worth it. My son gained a lot of confidence and knowledge as a result of his experience. Great job Envision! And thank you for running such a safe, high quality program.

My daughter attended Pathways to STEM and she absolutely loved it. On top of learning, she also made friends that she has been keeping in touch with regularly. The staff was energetic and supportive, the kids had a full, fun, educational week!

I am satisfied with the service provider

I tried writing this review with all my honest thoughts once but it got removed so I'm saying it here, envision go bankrupt because your company deserves it for scamming parents by giving kids lackluster activities that would be free at home! Parents don't spend thousands to send your kid to these terrible programs where they don't learn anything.

Very Educative and experienced Tutors

This was by far the worst experience ever. I did not like that I was purposely overcharged and when I bought it to the organization attention with proof that I overpaid, they kept the money. I was then given half of the refund, and was told they would investigate the other half due to me being overcharged, and I still haven’t heard anything from them. Also for some strange reason I get the same representative (whom I’ve had to tell several times to let me speak to your supervisor because he was very irate)each time I called, from July 2025-October 2025. I’ve expressed great concern to this company because I feel like it’s a scam that targets parents. I’ve spent $4000 plus total, and I did not get a refund even with taking out their insurance.

I had an amazing experience in the Intensive Law & Trial summer program. The staff made the transition very welcoming, making the experience a hundred times better. Steven and Emma were my firm leaders, and they were brilliant and gave wonderful feedback. The activities were well planned and well executed as well.

If I could rate it a zero I would. I felt like I ways loosing brain cells each day. The hands on approach that I thought I was going to get was not real. The group that I worked with didn't care. The teacher didn't care. I got yelled at while getting 2 desserts even though I always at my lunch. Our groups final project wasn't even on display. I wanted my parents to meet my teacher on presentation day and she wasn't nowhere to be found.

I feel like this was a scam. It was a very expensive field trip. There was little time teaching leadership qualities or skills
I thought I would have learned so much more than I did.Very unorganized program check in was a disaster. Would not go back again

Overall great experience. The only thing is that my daughter said she hopes it will be more challenging for her when she returns next year 2026.

The staff was all amazing and provided my husband and I with much need assurance that our daughter would be safe during her time in class. Additionally, she had an amazing time and learned so much. I can't say Thank you enough!

It was okay, but we expected more structure, to be more organized, and for the staff to provide better service. Registration was chaotic, and the staff present were not very helpful; they seemed short-tempered when asked basic questions.
The program was okay but for the tutition paid, we expected our child to learn and gain more.

My daughter was engaged and excited to meet some people and to visit some of the places such as the Martin Luther King Museum. All in all I sense it was a satisfactory experience.

My daughter absolutely loved the experience! She met so many new friends while she was there that continue to stay in touch. Of course her favorite part was flying the plane, and helicopter ride! Highly recommend it!

I overall loved the experience, but I feel like it should have been marketed towards more beginning engineering students, as some of the coursework was too easy.

This experience was VERY costly, and the biggest takeaway my daughter got was learning that speaking out about inconsistency and expressing frustration with a lack of organization as a female in a male-dominated field will get you singled out for pot-stirring. If I could turn back time I would help her find an alternative summer experience and save my $7K.

We had a problem with our account and it was quickly solved by Tuan hoang at the garrison branch. He was courteous and attentive
Nothing but praise for his service and support
