What Our Families Are Saying
“My children have grown in independence and resilience but mostly confidence: confidence to be themselves, confidence to find new parts of themselves, confidence to serve others and most importantly to me in this world where children grow so fast – confidence to the silky, wiggly kiddos they are.”
“Live Oak truly fits our family because it’s a camp family that promotes and encourages the same values that we do in our home.”
“[Camper] has really come out of her shell and is truly more confident than she was when she boarded the bus headed to camp. She appears fearless and brave through her actions and words. My shy child who was hesitant to attend sleep away camp is already talking about next summer’s adventures.”
