WHAT PARENTS SAY. I want to tell you how much my son _____ is enjoying your camp. He had many years of day camp and last year he was not too happy 3 weeks away at ________ Camp. He is so happy at Campus Kids. Every night like clockwork, he calls at 9:55 and at first I thought that was not a good idea, but he just "checks in", tells me about his day, and then says he is busy and has to go! Fantastic. On the weekends, he shows all his relatives at our house, all the pictures of camp on the website and points out all the ones of himself. He is having a wonderful time. Thank you. (parent of 12-year-old boy) Just a quick email to tell you how much _____is enjoying her camp adventure! I am delighted to hear her speak so enthusiastically about the activities, the staff and her fellow campers. Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience for her--full of fun and accomplishment and kindness. The camp theme of "respect" has resonated most profoundly. We are so happy and grateful that ______ could be part of the Campus kids NJ family this summer. (parent of 10-year-old girl) Looks like you are enjoying yourself at Campus Kids already -- love all the website pictures! We wanted to say "thank you" to you and the other Directors , the activity coordinators, and to our kids' counselors for an amazing first week of camp.
_______(Grade 6 Boys) had a terrific
first week (and first sleep away experience) . We could not have asked
for it to go better - so a HUGE thank you to his counselors and everyone
for that. He adjusted well, has made lots of friends, loves it, and
wants to come back next year : )
________ (Grade 9 Girls) -- being as
shy as she is--(ha!) seems to officially know every person in the camp.
She will probably be looking to take over your job in a couple of
years! She LOVES her counselors this year, the girls in her group are
all very close and do everything together, and she thinks all the CK
staff are "awesome". She is having an amazing time this summer.
Thank You for taking care of our
children and for this great growing experience for them. We appreciate
it so much. (parent of
11-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl)
Let me take the time now to thank you for having such an excellent program. As you know this is our girls' first year and they had so much fun and made a whole lot of new friends. They had a wonderful experience and your staff is top notch. I was very impressed with everything you guys do there. You are organized and I felt very safe with my children there. (parent of 8 and 11-year-old girls) I want to thank you all for the terrific summer that our son is having so far. He has been having a truly wonderful camp experience and is happy and even told me that he's sorry he didn't go to sleep away camp sooner. He and his room-mate are getting along famously and he just doesn't have enough good things to say about his camp experience. I want to thank you all for the great job that you're doing in providing our son with, as he said to me this morning on the way to the bus, "this is my best summer so far in my life!" For our son, who does not often say much, you can only imagine how thrilled we feel. Thank you all so much. (parents of 14-year-old boy) Can't believe camp has come to an end - not just for this year but for good for _____. It's really been a great experience for her and I thank you for providing such an outstanding summer experience for these kids. She's made some great life long friends as well. I know CK will be around for a long time (since I recommend it to everyone who wants their kid to have a sleep away experience) and I wish you continued success. (parent of 15-year-old girl) I wanted to say thank you for the wonderful experience you have given both my girls. The passage of time is mind boggling! They have incredible memories and have made lasting friendships. You run your camp as if the kids were your own and I always felt like the Campus Kids environment was like visiting a relative! (one that you like!!!) (parent of alumni campers) I wanted to thank you so very much for all your efforts on behalf of my son; he has had the time of his life, and I am sure when he looks back on his childhood, Campus Kids will be an enormous part of what he remembers. I recall as if it were yesterday meeting you. . . _____ was a young boy going into 5th grade, and now going into 10th, huge difference! Thank you for creating and running such a wonderful camp and for your honesty, integrity, nurturance and intelligence. We so appreciate all you have contributed to ______'s growing up. I don't know the end of the story yet, but I am hoping he brings his positive experiences and positive values with him into adulthood. (parent of 15-year-old boy) I just wanted to thank you and your staff for contributing to ______’s fantastic summer! Her counselors were excellent – they really forged great relationships with the girls, and became true friends! No matter the size of the group, they did a great job at bringing all the different personalities and interests together. ______ made loads of new friends, and really enjoyed the diverse activities offered. I know that she will miss camp! (parent of 14-year-old girl)
As always _____ had another great summer at Campus Kids. Another reason
I don't want her to grow up is that she will get too old for Campus Kids,
where she can truly relax and be a kid for a few weeks. Thank you for giving
her that opportunity these last few years - it's been a great experience -
for both of us!
(parent of 14-year-old
girl)
It's hard to believe the six weeks are almost up! _______ has thoroughly enjoyed his summer- first time ever! I think the no tolerance for teasing and bullying and your standards for the counselors is a huge part of it. I can't thank you enough and want you to share my appreciation with his counselors, who were wonderful. I'm sure you'll be seeing him again next summer. Enjoy the rest of yours. (parent of 13-year-old boy)
This is the first chance I've had
to tell you how much _____ enjoyed her first experience at a sleep away
camp. She wanted to come for two more weeks in Aug but unfortunately we
already have plans. My husband and I are happy that this first
experience was so rewarding for her and FINALLY she likes the idea of
sleep away camp. We feel it gives a child independence and a chance to
makes choices on their own. Thank you for running a wonderful camp
program!! (parent of
12-year-old girl)
I honestly never heard my daughter sound as wonderful as she does. She is absolutely thrilled at camp. She has made a best friend and is enjoying the activities. She has called each night so far. She is on cloud 9!!! As you know this is a MAJOR achievement for her. Thank you!!!!!!!! (parent of 8-year-old girl)
I just wanted to thank all at Campus Kids for making our son's 3rd year
here a great time.
He really enjoys being there. He is kept busy and that is very important
at his age. He is always very happy about leaving on Mondays, he enjoys seeing
friends and staff.
Thanks again to all !!
(parent of 14-year-old
boy)
I would like to say Thank you for giving my kids such a fabulous summer experience. They are really enjoying camp a lot. (parent of 9-year-old girl and 12-year-old boy)
_____
must be having a great time because he hasn't called home yet. That
tells me he's enjoying himself right up to the very last minute of
every day. Thank you for providing such an enriching experience for
him. I'm sure he'll want to return for many years to come.
(parent of 8-year old boy)
Just wanted to send a big Thank You - _______ had a great time the last two weeks! I've always heard good things about Campus Kids - it was a pleasure to experience it first-hand. He is looking forward to coming back next year! Thanks again for a great, well-run program!! (parent of 12-year old boy) ______ is really enjoying his first experience at Campus Kids. He is so enthused about returning each Monday and loves his counselors, _______ and _____. Thank you for maintaining a positive, upbeat atmosphere where kids can feel comfortable being themselves. (parent of 13-year old boy) I wanted to let you know that my boys are having a FANTASTIC time at camp!! I am beyond thrilled. _____ (who has never really liked any camp I have sent him to) said to me last week on the phone, "Mom, this camp is everything I thought it would be, and more!! " I almost fainted. Many thanks to you and your amazing staff ! I can't begin to imagine what it is like for you to plan these camp summers, but this in one family who greatly appreciates your efforts!! (parent of 11 and 12-year old boys) Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know how much my son enjoyed his first week. He said it's the "best camp ever". He enjoys his activities and likes his camp counselors alot!. From my part it has certainly been enjoyable. I think the phone privileges you provide are very generous compared to other camps and it makes certainly for peace of mind knowing that he can call me everyday if he chooses to do so. Thanks so much for all your efforts! (parent of 13-year-old boy) I must tell you, that as a parent, it is so wonderful to see my child so happy with her experience at Campus Kids. She would not have been a camper for 7 years if she wasn't so happy. She's met such a wonderful variety of people--both campers and staff--and has experienced so many different world views. Thank you. (parent of 14-year-old girl) Our son is so excited about returning to CK. He says he feels so grown up there. Thanks. (parent of 11-year-old boy) Thanks for making my kids' summers so memorable! (parent of 14-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy) My boys love your program. Having them there for six weeks keeps them safe and provides all the good things you folks instill in all at Campus Kids. (parent of 10 and 11-year old boys) Our daughter has loved CK from the beginning and has been having great fun meeting up with her CK friends this year. They IM each other and really are very connected...makes a Mom smile from ear to ear. Thank you again!! (parent of 13-year-old girl) Thank you for your contribution to the maturity and growth of our daughters. (parent of girls who attended camp for six years) I must say that out of all the camps my daughter has attended, you and your team are the most responsive. The energy in all of your communications is incredible and infectious. (parent of 10-year-old girl) My daughter
is getting very excited for camp to start - the bunkmates have been IMing
and emailing which is adding to the excitement. She really looks forward to
the relaxation and pure fun of CampusKids - unlike her school year schedule
which is hectic and stressful. I'm so glad she has this to look forward to
- it's really like a reward for all the hard work she puts in through the
year.
(parent of 13-year-old girl) As always, THANK YOU! You do a terrific job with these kids. Our son looks forward every year to returning. (parent 14-year-old boy)
