Testimonials

"I want to tell you that I really enjoyed ACES in 1996 and it is an excellent camp for young girls who want to continue on with science as a career. I have very fond memories that I will take with me forever. The only regret about this camp was that I didn't hear about it sooner."

 --Former ACES camper attending Texas A&M University, majoring in Biology.

"I received training and experience at ACES that I used to get into college and advance in science. As a result of ACES, I majored in genetics in college and loved it. I still think about the good times I had while I was learning so much (even though I attended six years ago.)"

 --Sally Berrisford,  ACES '93, student at UT Southwestern Medical School.

"The ACES Camp is a wonderful learning experience; it not only helps to make math and science fun, but also shows how important they are in the real world. The camp exposes girls to a variety of professions that utilize and/or depend upon math and science skills. It is also a great opportunity for young ladies to mingle with their intellectual peers. Children often discourage each other from appearing intelligent, especially when they fear their own minds are inferior. At ACES, all the participants are bright, and knowing that other girls excel intellectually can help give one the confidence to pursue her studies, despite outside disapproval."

 --Lyrica Miller,  ACES '90.

"The entire ACES experience is one that will never bee forgotten. I learned valuable information about myself as well as curiculum. I can only hope others get as much out of ACES as I did and one day I wish I can make math as interesting and fun as the camp did for me."

 --Loretta Murphy-Vieck,  ACES '92, '93, student at Mira Costa College.

"ACES Camp is one of my BEST memories from Junior High summer. I learned so much and really got a feel for what college and studies in science and mathematics would be like. I earned a B.A. in Biology in December of 1998 and I believe that the early interest that ACES Camp sparked helped give me a focus for my college studies. I cannot say enough wonderful things about your camp and I hope that many young girls will continue to be inspired through the ACES Camp."

 --Sarah Oatman,  ACES '92, student at Texas Wesleyan's School of Law.
