My son came back from camp as a confident, responsible, non-argumentative young man – I could not believe the changes in him.

It allowed my daughter the opportunity to grow and learn in an environment where she could just be whomever she wanted to be.

I love that my daughters, who are very different people, each find something to love about camp. I love that it makes them more confident and compassionate individuals and teaches them what it means to be a part of a group.

We recently dropped our oldest daughter off at college, who attended camp for 10 years. She and I both agree that the best preparation for college for both parents and kids is attending camp.

I have had several people that have been introduced to my 9-year-old daughter for the first time saying how mature and confident she is. I say, “Thank you, have you heard of Camp Champions?”

You do an excellent job of communicating to parents the “whys” of what happens at Champions — camp is very intentional and designed to help our kids grow into better people (while still having a good time).

It is tremendously gratifying to know that our kids are in a place where they can take risks and succeed or fail in a safe environment.

One day, a parent teased my son about his florescent tank top and he responded with “This is a camp shirt. We don’t judge at camp!” What an amazing and happy environment to be in!

I commend you on your communication with parents, your amazing attitudes and exemplary morals. We will be back as I can’t imagine a camp with higher standards than yours.

My children had a BLAST! I cried at the closing ceremony, when I finally got it—my children are children, they are growing up, with or without me, and this is the time of their life that they need these important steps for their future.
