Rave Reviews

Here’s what people are saying about Snapology programs. We invite you to check out all our reviews on Facebook and Google.

Michelle Y.

Reading School District, Administrator

I arranged for Snapology to come to our school for an on site class during our summer school program. We selected the Snapology Ninjas and Superheroes programs. There were about 35 students in attendance. The instructors were great and the students were engaged for the duration of the program. I highly recommend booking a program through Snapology.

Andrea H.

Mifflin Community Library, Children's Librarian

I have had the privilege to work with Snapology of Lancaster and Reading on both a personal and professional basis. My children have attended their programs and love them! This summer I worked closely with Snapology as the children’s librarian of a local library and we were able to offer and run camps at our library throughout the summer, as well as children’s programs and programs for teens as well. The instructors were amazing and many of the kids who attended formed new friendships along the way. I would highly recommend Snapology to everyone! Their programs are both relevant and engaging.

Andrea P

Burrowes Elementary School Lancaster, 5th grade teacher,

Snapology has been great for my 5th grade students! Their activities are engaging and teach them how to follow directions and work on a team. It also teaches them problem solving skills when they encounter mistakes. They are learning while having fun! They enjoy the coding and the moving technic pieces. If you are looking for an engaging, hands-on approach to learning, then I highly recommend Snapology. Ms. Serena is awesome too! We love her.

Customizable, engaging, fun, educational, 

and hassle-free field trips!

 What better way to add spark to your students’ learning than with a field trip with Snapology.  We’ll come directly to your door with everything your students need for an awesome experience. Or you can come to us. We offer field trips at our Discovery Center too.

With specialized themes to build problem-solving and life skills, you’re sure to find one that complements your curriculum. If by chance you can’t, we’ll work with you to customize a program that’s perfect for your students.

No matter which option you choose, we know your students, parents and staff will be delighted. We’ve hosted field trips for hundreds of kids and we know how to design learning programs they absolutely love!

 

Teach Critical Life Skills

As students work together, they will learn first-hand the importance of being able to communicate ideas clearly, weigh solutions, negotiate and decide on a course of action.  

Interactive, Hands-On Activities

Learning through play is one of the most effective ways to teach. Our activities bring abstract concepts in science, technology, engineering, art and math to life! 

No Transportation Costs

Our “on site” option is a cost-effective option for schools that don’t want to pay the extra cost of transporting students to another facility.

Student Safety First

When we come to you, you no longer have to  recruit lots of chaperones to track students off-site. 

We’ll Come to Your School or Summer Camp!

Choose from 2 format options for programs held right at your location. We can design programs for groups as small as 10, large groups of 100+ and everything in between. Programs can be held on one day or over several days.
