Their experiences speak for themselves

One thing that I liked about camp this summer was how they found fun things to do while social distancing but still making it fun. And I'm excited for camp this year because I want to see the new stuff and how fun it will be.

What i liked about camp this summer was that even during this pandemic I still got to have fun and make new friends! I’m so excited for this upcoming summer to go to the campgrounds and see all of the new things and make new friends.
