“We have had an incredible, wholesome experience at camp, and we can’t wait to come back again. Watching Max grow and explore in so many ways has been a very heartwarming and emotional experience that I will carry with me for many years to come. I have enjoyed meeting other campers and interacting with their children and creating bonds that I hope will continue to develop once we leave. I have watched Max grow and flourish in this amazing environment and I can’t wait to see how he implements his new skills in his day to day life.”
