Testimonials
"The opportunity to spend quality time with caring, inspiring and genuine people who understand or have been on the same rocky and twisted path trying to heal a broken heart was priceless." -

Participant at Camp
“Thank you to everyone for making the kids and I so welcome. We all were a bit nervous but we felt so comfortable and welcome. Which is a huge win with my crew because they don't usually feel so safe and comfortable so fast. They have already asked if we can come back next year and told me they miss their friends. I don't really have the words to say how this experience has been for me. We are looking forward to seeing you all again.“ -Participant at Camp
