Peter J. - Kew Gardens, New York
Why in the world do we travel so much? It’s fun, it’s entertaining, and it extends your view of the world. One trip is all it takes, and this was one of the most memorable trips of my life.
Jeremy H. - Birmingham, Alabama
Our daughter, Laura, had the most amazing trip. She only called us to tell us where she was and what she was experiencing. Each phone call was only excitement and amazement of each day’s journey. Her Director, counselors and other teen tour campers were only the “Best People” she has ever been with. This trip was the best summer she has ever had and one that will remain close to her forever. Bravo! Thank you for this truly amazing teen tour experience for Laura. It was everything and more!

If ever there is a parent hesitant to send their child on one of your tours, have them contact me. The experience that I had from the first contact with your camp, four years ago, and right down to the final arrival at the airport one week ago, has been nothing but a pleasure. Your camp has given so many children an experience that will be with them forever. Thank you for four wonderful years of fun, and happiness.
