Any References for Camp Integem? A Coding Summer Camp at MLK sch

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about Integem's  summer camps.  They are offered at MLK school in Berkeley but I don't see many references.

Thanks

My 13 y/o went there last summer. I didn't get much of an impression other than the college aged kids I dropped my child off with seemed responsible. My kid, however, wasn't too impressed. She was pretty bored by the end of it. 

I found your post when researching Camp Integem for my teen. Unfortunately, I've found only negative and suspicious reviews. All of the published Yelp reviews for the Palo Alto branch were 1 star (the lowest possible rating). The owners apparently tried to intimidate one reviewer, threatening to contact his employer and to sue if he didn't remove his review. A Reddit post makes a good argument that there are fake positive reviews on Facebook. There are many hidden (presumably fake) reviews on the Yelp page, and some of the Activity Hero reviews look fake to me, such as "My ward always speak positively about your camp tutorship."

Like you, I'd welcome first-hand reviews from BPN parents.
