Groza, a trusted name in academic support for over 20 years, is now enrolling children ages 5–13 for its Masterminds Summer Camp, a unique, screen-free experience designed to spark curiosity and build confidence. With popular weekly themes like Detective Week, Mad Science, and Entrepreneur Week, campers dive into hands-on, educator-led activities that blend fun with real-life learning.
