HERE’S WHAT PARENTS HAVE TO SAY....

“My son attended four camps this year and he was excited to get up and go every time. Thanks for having enthusiastic counselors and phenomenal leaders. Keep up the great work.”

“The counselor made my daughter feel very comfortable on her first day, her first time at a day camp. The counselors seemed well trained, coordinated and focused on keeping the kid’s engaged to have a positive experience. We will be back.
