★★★★★Caelen GormanI’ve been going here for years and very organized and a amazing place to be
★★★★★Jacqueline PThis is one of the most magical places for children with disabilities. Everyone from employess to volunteers put their heart and soul into making this place amazing for the kids. The children leave with memories that last a lifetime. They each take a part of Boggy home with them. As a parent, to see a child beam with happiness after hearing the stories of their time spent at Boggy makes our hearts happy too. Thank you for loving our children and giving them a sense of normalcy while they are at Boggy.

★★★★★Leilani ZMy daughter grew up going to Boggy Creek for her juvenile RA, it was the highlight of all her summers, giving a lifetime of memories to a young lady who went through so very much in her life. Now my granddaughter goes to Boggy Creek, I see the positive self esteem she has acquired after each visit. Thank you, hole in the wall gang ❣️
