How has camp impacted you?
-It
is almost impossible to list everything that camp has done for me and
how it is impacted me. As a shy nine-year-old kid, camp gave me the
confidence and social skills to be able to build relationships that I
still value to this day. As I grew up, I learned about keeping these
relationships and becoming a responsible member of a group society.
Camp also taught me how to overcome diversity and how to live with
others.
