It is always a wonderful time seeing familiar faces and warm smiles. Thank you for inviting us. We are so excited for next camp session. Woo-hoo!!
I brought my girls to camp for the first time and they absolutely loved it. But due to the fact they are on a mountain they did say it got cold at night. lol overall the administrative team especially the director, in a moment of an injury acquired at home before attending. He was more than attentive and make me feel at ease due to his communication. Aside he attended plays too. Everyone is good and nice. No complaints. It’s going back to nature in all the meaning of the word. It makes them humble and realize how life should be. Aside from freedom and independence and a whole lot of activities to do that are world wide jobs that will inspire their creativity. And also meet kids from around the world to your nearest city and town, to make lasting relationships. From all walks of life. I recommend it a 1000%. It’s worth the money if they make it worth their while.
This camp is not only amazing at the programs it offers, but the leadership, counselors and other staff work very hard to create an inclusive and welcoming environment. This was my child's first year at this camp, and was so excited to share all the emotional growth they experienced. I wanted my child to have fun, which they did, but they also made healthy friendships, found new creative interests, and want to return as a CIT. As parents, we are thrilled that this camp was able to be more than a fun summer experience, it was empowering for our child.
My twin 15-year-olds went to Buck’s Rock Art Camp for the first time this past summer. The camp is in a beautiful, wooded area, with a wide variety of workshops in a village-like setting. Kids are given the independence to decide for themselves which workshops to attend throughout each day. I thought my kids would spend their time in drawing and painting and sculpture, but they were drawn to metalsmithing and woodworking (but there’s more than 25 workshops to choose from) and made some professional looking pieces. The experience overall was not only wonderful in terms of developing their skills and creativity, but also in terms of becoming independent – making choices for themselves about where they spent their time each day and what they made. They want to go back next year as CITs!
