 Children are our future, and the skills learned and relationships
fostered at camp are often life-changing stepping stones
on the road to adulthood. They come to camp from all walks
of life, eager to learn, yearning to make new friends, ready
to take on new challenges and discover gifts they didn't
know they had.
 |
“I learned that being different
doesn't mean that you are bad, because a rainbow
can't be only one color.” |
Camp celebrates diversity and promotes tolerance. It holds
a mirror up so children can see, no matter what their color,
gender or socioeconomic circumstances, that who they are
is beautiful inside and out.
“I learned at camp that I should
treat others the way I want to be treated.” |
 |
Camp gets kids back to nature. Unplugged from the computer,
the videogames, the cell phone, they gain an appreciation
for the natural environment and discover the wisdom and fun
it has to offer.
 |
“It was fun …really
good and I wish my friends could go because you are
learning but at the same time you are having fun.” |
