Testimonials
“This was such a gift to our family; it meant a lot to my son. He felt people were so kind and he really loved learning about God. People’s kindness and support meant a lot to him emotionally. It was such a gift that I was able to work as well.”
“I want to emphasize how much the volunteers impacted my daughters’ lives. My girls are talking about the volunteers all the time; they mention each of them and call them by name. They also consider them their friends, and they have a lot of positive influence on them. Thank you to every volunteer.”
“The most valuable part of camp was that it was affordable; we would not have been able to send our kids to a camp this length otherwise.”
