...there will always be things that happen in our kids’ lives that exclude us. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s what we should want for our kids.

Camp is where [my children] grow in ways that they can’t when I’m looking over their shoulders. It’s an opportunity to meet new friends, become new people and build confidence doing things they never do at home.
