Based on the results of 70 parent/guardian surveys, 88% of the campers showed a positive change in their willingness to try new things, 73% showed a positive change in the ease of making new friends at camp, and 89% showed positive change in learning new life skills at camp. 

According to a parent of a camper, “our son was a new camper. He really hasn’t spent the night out much either, so this was HUGE for him. He is a really shy and anxious kid, so for him to do this was amazing. He loved all his classes, counselors, and all the dances/singing. We know this will help with his anxiousness and his confidence, we are so proud of him, and he is proud of himself too!”

Another parent stated, “she came home with a new confidence that I hadn’t seen before” while another parent said, “our son has high functioning autism and needs a lot of adult supervision but the ability to be included and engaged with peers is a huge opportunity for him.”
