My daughter was absolutely blown away. She really loved the coaches and the friends she made at camp. You exceeded all of her expectations about camp!
My 9yr old daughter Julie just finished a week of camp in Fairfield. She had a fantastic time - loved every minute of camp and wants to sign up for another week. The coaches were very enthusiastic. Thank you for such a fantastic program!
