I just wanted to let you both know what a great time the kids had at camp the last few weeks. The staff and youth leaders were fun and kind. They loved all the games and being outdoors all day. They always want to come back to this camp year after year!
We love teaming up with families to provide safe and enriching day camp programs when school’s out, in support of the motto “it takes a village to raise a child.”
*Unplugged & outdoors 95-100% of the time
