Wonderful Experience
“What a wonderful experience for my daughter! She participated in the extended camp, leery of the sleep over experience being only 11 years old. She met a wonderful group of girls, and I had a difficult time getting her to come home each night. The coaches were very encouraging, helping to increase the confidence in her abilities. She can't wait to return next year...and do the ‘sleep away.’”
Parent of Worcester State University Camper
Safe environment
As a parent of a camper, one main priority for me was that she was safe. I truly feel this priority was accomplished during my daughter's stay at camp.
