Let’s Talk!
Getting to Camp
“Camp has allowed me to express myself without worrying about what others think. It has provided me with a safe environment to express myself where I am surrounded by an extremely supportive family. I don’t know where I’d be without camp but I do know that I would not have nearly as much confidence and joy in my daily life without it.”
