I have grown to love this camp so much — now I truly understand why people return year after year.

It is the feeling that everyone here is so fantastic in their own unique way ... Thank you again — you two are spectacular! ..." — Shelby S., Boston, Staff Member "I am reminded of that day, some five years ago, when I first visited Jason at camp. As he proudly took my hand and showed me around 'his' camp, I was struck by the friendliness of everybody we met along the way, and the warmth and natural happiness which seemed to pervade the atmosphere, and I remember thinking, what a wonderful place this was for my boy to grow in ... You have given him memories of long days of discovery and challenge, of warm summer nights with good friends; of laughter and excitement and dreams — and I wanted to thank you for that ..." — Michael S., Westchester NY, Camper Parent "I just wanted to let you know that Alissa absolutely adored camp ... and she's sorry to be home.
