Parent Testimonials:

This was the first summer camp experience in 4 years where there was staff properly trained to work with my child. Instead of getting calls partway through the day to pick them up early because they “weren’t listening” or because staff couldn’t handle them, I was greeted by the biggest smiles at pick-up and my child telling me that “camp was great!”… We can’t wait to be back next year!

This camp was such a welcoming environment for my child to just learn, explore, make friends, and be themselves. They were SO happy this week… I cannot tell you how incredibly helpful it is that, other than the registration fee, this camp is free! The summer camps that are equipped to support people with different needs are very few and far between – once you find one, it’s either incredibly expensive or extremely far away. Thank you for making this camp inclusive, accessible, affordable, and above all – memorable!
