The camp was great for the children because it gave them an opportunity to really explore and be creative. They were engaged and worked well together. In my first week I had a boy in my class that was shy and a bit worried. He arrived crying and feeling nervous, but once we gathered as a group and began working together he just thrived and by the end of camp all the kids were friends. It was great to see him flourish.

I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW PLEASED/HAPPY THE MAJORITY OF THE KIDS WERE. THEY ALL APPEARED TO WANT TO BE THERE, NOT JUST SOMETHING THEY HAD TO DO.

We were so blown away by the community involvement and all the wonderful people who volunteered for this camp. My son was surrounded by so many folks of all ages who cared for him and shared their knowledge. My heart is truly touched by how much that went into creating CampCommUnity. Thank you!! Thank you to all who were involved.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of the effort, planning, and incredible hard work that went into this program. It was such a blessing to our family this summer to have a place where my daughter enjoyed herself, felt engaged and that she was learning, and truly safe and cared for. There really aren’t words to express how much that means to any parent but especially a single parent. We are beyond grateful!!

As a working parent who still has to work in the summers, this was an amazing opportunity to have local day camps that were affordable, convenient, but most of all fun and exciting while keeping the children engaged in learning activities that keep them engaged. The “elective” choices that were available were so interesting that I would have enjoyed them too! I also thought it was a great way to integrate local community leaders and organizations into the curriculum and allow our children to learn and become involved.
