Take It from Our Campers
We spend a lot of time here talking about the events, activities, and staff that make camp great, but the heart of it all? Our campers! They are the center of everything we do, and we spend all year brainstorming ways to make camp incredible for each girl who comes through the gates.
Getting to spend the summer helping girls grow and just showing them how to have FUN is the priviledge of our lives, but what do our campers actually have to say about their time at camp? Every year, our campers fill out Memory Sheets recording their thoughts as the summer closes, and we’ve compiled just a few quotes here.
