What Our Participants Say
"I want to thank you for making my trip a success and for being part of my experience. I have learned a lot at camp. I have learned to touch people's lives, I have learned to express myself and come out of my shell, and I have learned how to make a difference in people's lives. One camper's family thanked me for changing their grandson's life after camp and told me how happy and different he was after camp. That was when I realized that I have achieved something that I will never trade for anything in life."
~ Thabo from South Africa
“This summer was simply amazing. My camp was great. Fantastic people, fantastic children, and, although I worked as support staff, I took part in a lot of activities with children and with counselors. The best thing is that I have so many new friends from all over the world. Really good friends. I have so many memories. Thank you [for the opportunity to] spend the summer in the USA. Your agency really surprised me...everything was perfect.”
~ Pavel from the Czech Republic
