What Families Are Saying
"Both children had a phenomenal experience. They are still talking about it weeks later."
"They [the counselors] were awesome. Our kiddo had some initial challenges with transitioning to a new environment and the counselors were a great help in getting him settled."
"... as a parent, I LOVED not having to pack anything [for snack and lunch] except a water bottle - that was a great break."
