"Thank you for being such awesome hosts for the RMCA 4th graders, we all had a blast. Once again, your staff went above and beyond. The children were engaged, challenged and all had lots of fun stories to tell back at school. Thanks for everything, and I am looking forward to doing all again next year."

Facilities
The facilities were perfect! The cabins were just the right amount of rustic. The new dining hall was absolutely gorgeous!
Loved the new dining hall and all the improvements we saw from the previous year!! Great to see that you're growing.
I think the facilities are great. Just "rough" enough to feel like camp, but not too "rustic."
Staff
My kids always rave about their counselors. Keep up the good work!
My oldest camper, who has done both LDP and CIT, will miss all the friends he's made over the years when he goes to college :-) My youngest still misses her counselors 2 months later!
My son did NOT want to attend the camp, so we were very worried about him. However, when we needed to pick him up early due to a family emergency, he left with tears in his eyes. He told us he had had the best time of his life. He continues to stay in contact with several friends that he made at camp and has even gotten together a few times with them
They were supportive, fun, awesome and cool. Over the 6 years he has attended he has never had anything negative to say about any of the counselors. His positive experience with past counselors is why he wants to be one in the future and why he attended the CIT program this year.
My son came without friends this year because he had so much fun!
My kids loved their counselors and the whole staff. They still talk about them.
My child absolutely loved her 2 counselors.
(The staff were) Well trained, professional, friendly, she loved them
