“ I’ve learned so many things from this camp that I think that this camp was a turning point for me in my life. I feel like I am a totally different person now, I can see a better, improved more confident version of myself which is only possible because of you guys. I had so many good memories from this camp, especially this time we were made to sit on the floor and the campers were praising us for the camp, shaking hands, giving hugs and the campers giving me stones for appreciation on the last day of the camp.”
