My 5 year old son attended the day camp for the first time this year and he loved it!! He learned so many new things and gained a new awareness of the environment. The CD of pictures we got on the last day was a wonderful way to share his experience with us (his parents). The day camp is more than worth the money you pay for it!
My son loved his day camp experience. He was happy in the morning when I dropped him off and came home exhausted with many tales to tell and excitement to go again the next day. The staff were amazing and made the whole experience wonderful. Thanks!
