Quotes from campers!!

"Well I think Camp was pretty much amazing. It’s good to get outside and be with friends and get to know new people. Its fun to do all of the activities, and the best part is REC, which I think we should be done every night. The midnight game was really fun. Pretty much the whole experience rocked!”
-Sarah Greenberg

“I've been going to Camps with Meaning for 7 years and every year is a new and fulfilling experience. It is impossible to get bored! You enjoy everything from activities to the food to fireside. Camp is such a rewarding experience for kids of any age.”
-Kyla Wills

“Camp was an awesome time. I loved all of the activities and I had tons of fun being with so many great people. I love camp.”
-Erin Thorleifson

“Camp was really different this year then any other year I have gone. It was definitely a great change. There was a smaller group of kids, because we were the oldest, I felt that we were treated more respectfully this way, and were treated more like adults. We were completely separated from the younger kids, which was great, because it didn't limit our experience, and the activities we were able to do. We became a lot closer with the people in our cabins, and with our counselors as well. Campout is always my favorite part of camp, and this year it was even better. We walked farther away from everyone else, and we found our own little spot, where we had to work as a team and put up our three tents. We told stories, and played cards, and because we were so cozy, it made it feel more like you were having a campout with a bunch of close friends. Most of us slept outside, looking up at the stars.
Camp this year was really fun, and although we weren't always on the go and we had a bit more time to just relax. It was great because it fit our regular lifestyle, being teenagers and all.”
