 Children are our future, and the skills
learned and relationships fostered at so
many camps throughout the country are often
life-changing stepping stones
on the road to adulthood. They come to
camp from all walks of life, eager to learn,
yearning to make new friends, ready to
take on new challenges and discover gifts
they didn't know they had.
 |
“I learned that being different
doesn't mean that you are bad,
because a rainbow can't be only
one color.” |
Camp celebrates diversity and promotes
tolerance. It holds a mirror up so children
can see, no matter what their color, gender
or socioeconomic circumstances, that who
they are is beautiful inside and out.
“I learned
at camp that I should treat others
the way I want to be treated.” |
 |
Camp gets kids back to nature. Unplugged
from the computer, the videogames, the
cell phone, they gain an appreciation for
the natural environment and discover the
wisdom and fun it has to offer.
 |
“It was fun
. . . really good and I wish my
friends could go because you are
learning but at the same time you
are having fun.” |
