Past campers have said:
"I think the counselors were extremely helpful and had a senxe of humor.
I am also very thankful for these people taking time out of their lives
to help up out."
"I learned a lot and enjoyed the learning process."
"You taught us a year's worth in four days."
"I enjoyed working at the television center. I felt like I was
really on TV and acting professional when I called the fire department
for a press release. Not once, but twice. Thank you all for
making this possible."
"I was hesitant about attending but I enjoyed it very much. All
of the counselors were awesome and I'm definitely considering coming back
next year."
'Everyone really knew what they were talking about."
