What Parents are Saying
I could not believe how many camp songs my son knows by heart and he loves to sing them. He keeps asking when it will be time for camp again. – Ineke and Scott G, Pleasanton
As always, Roughing It is a highlight for my daughter. She immediately put how many days until next summer on a countdown clock on her computer. – Mary and Chris M, Pleasanton
