Parents say:
…Thank you for being such a great help. His doctor could not believe it was him. They are so happy with the results we are looking forward to him being taken off the medications! His blood sugar is doing really great. This is a really big step for him, he has wanted to get off them for so long and it looks like he is in such control that it is going to happen….you have helped him in such a positive way…..Nico’s mom
…We sent to camp an insecure boy who never would leave his room and got back a well adjusted, confident, outgoing young man. He walks taller. He talks to people. He likes himself. He knows he can do what he sets out to do now…..David’s mom
…I have never seen my daughter smile the way she is now. Thank you, thank you, thank you….Kaytie’s dad
…thank you for helping to change Jamie’s life and therefore also changing our family’s life. Jamie grew up a lot at camp. She certainly has more confidence in herself and it shows in every aspect of her life………….Jamie’s mom
…I had to write to tell you how thrilled I am with the “new” Jeff. His confidence level is off the charts. Sending Jeff was the best decision I’ve ever made on his behalf. Thank you, thank you for what you have done for our family. Personally, I feel the weight of the world has been lifted from my shoulders. Jeff does a wonderful job taking responsibility….I trust his judgement. He worked hard at camp and it really paid off. He looks wonderful and feels wonderful….He really became a teenager at camp. He was very shy and introverted, but now he is a poised, confident extrovert and he makes his bed! Thank you again for the work you are both doing. I know Jeff will remember you forever, and the golden opportunity he received being at camp…Jeff’s mom
…Sarah simply said, “It was the BEST summer of my life!” and gave us huge hugs and kisses. Last summer Sarah spent 21 days in Europe. She said she had a good time. She took over 700 pictures which she never seemed to find time to get developed…..she had bought t-shirts, postcards, souvenirs, all the typical things one saves to remember their adventures. THIS summer she came home with clothing, not purchased but exchanged with her new friends to remember them by, 300 pictures which she took to be developed immediately and an action plan. She has a schedule for the gym, a plan “A” and “B” for handling lunches at school, a caloric and fat driven menu for us at home. The menu doesn’t have the exact food item we are to prepare just a calorie count which allows for personal taste and the flexibility to buy items that are on sale that week at the grocery store. An approach that is success driven and failure proof. We are shocked by the simplicity….Our daughter is really happy and “you” can take all the credit! Someone once wrote: “Success is where preparation meets opportunity”. This describes your program to a “T”. We will always be grateful God allowed our paths to cross…..Sarah’s mom and dad
