“Doing one of the camps was like a dream come true. It was the only thing she asked to do and the camp exceeded everything I had hoped for her to be able to experience. She did her classes and then was able to do a show at the end that she loved.”

“My son was able to enjoy several camps this summer due to his scholorship. We enrolled him in Rockhaven and Archery camp. Rockhaven was his first overnight camp he has ever participated in and he loved it. He can't wait until next summer to do it again! He also loved his archery camp and hopes they offer it again next summer. He's asking Santa for a compound bow for Christmas so he will have his own to use."

“We literally would have been sitting at home all summer if we didn't receive this scholarship. Both the boys had amazing experiences in their camps and remembered their summer as fun because of the support. One of my children experienced sleepover camp for the first time because of this scholarship. It helped him grow and be confident in such a new situation, with new children. Thank you.”

“The summer camp scholarship program enabled our son to attended Morningstar Summer Program. He was able to have a full summer of education, entertainment, outside activities, arts and crafts (and just plain fun) which is so important for his fast developing mind. Without the help of this program, we would not have been able to afford to send him there in these extremely hard financial times. Thank you from the bottom or our hearts!”
