We all know this to be true but how do we get parents to truly KNOW what benefits kids get from a summer camp experience.

With others, you see a previously shy camper turn into one who loves to dress up in neon T-shirts for dinner and can throw an ultimate frisbee farther down the field than anyone else. You see campers learn how to interact with 19-year-olds, and see them begin to emulate the positive examples of their counselors.
