Nexplore came to the rescue at my child’s school in NYC!

With Summer Programming during Covid and parent feedback has been fantastic! Thank you ;)

Nexplore USA is a life saver

Running a Summer Camp during a pandemic was difficult but this company has some many fun activities for our campers to do virtually. The staff is wondering and the teachers are just as great. We are so lucky to found this company and we look forward to the classes we have scheduled for the rest of the Summer. Thank you 100 times.

We were extremely pleased with our experience with Nexplore.

Working with Dori is an absolute breeze and they have many programs to choose from. The activities we chose for summer camp were varied and interesting, and the instructors were professional but they also made the activities fun for the campers. We'll definitely be using Nexplore again whenever we need another "onsite field trip".

I have worked with Dori and his team from Nexplore for many years now.

Their programs are well priced, staff are professional and easy to work with and their instructors are engaging and friendly. We have used multiple services from Nexplore such as Zumba Kids and Nexplore Games for our children and teen Afterschool and Summer Camps, Zumba Gold for our Senior Programs, and Nexplore Art for our Special Needs programs and all have great content. I would recommend Nexplore to be used for quality enrichment programming anytime!
