"My husband, Brigette's mother and I attended the performances on Saturday. We were amazed at the talent and productions. It was incredible.
Brigette has asked to stay for the next 2 2-week sessions.
She really wants to do the second session with Video. Thank you."

"Gus had a fabulous time and can not wait to return. He would return today if we had not scheduled a sailing adventure in the North Channel with a catamaran full of his friends. The training and respect you have combined in your school is something we have not experienced at our school, which made Gus able to really be himself and learn without reserve.

Thank you so much for all you did for him. He is planning on the six week camp next year and we will have our vacation in the Gorge so we can see Gus perform. Thanks."

"Hi! Taylor (age 11) is safely in California on her way home with her dad from the airport. Thank you for caring for her while she was with you. She is full of stories and enthusiasm about her experience. Frankly, she was talking non-stop on the cell phone!!! She said the food was great, the scenery gorgeous, the kids very fun and the staff wonderful to her. Thanks from our family. We hope she did a good job for you. Have great sessions the rest of the summer."

Sincerely, The Riggs of California

"Thank you so much for the excellent program. Victoria felt really supported and more than anything at camp the kids had a genuine opportunity to live in an environment where caring for each other was *paramount*. Since adolescents can be fraught with insecurities the timing of a program like this could not have been more beneficial in providing the encouragement of peers."

April, Victoria's mom
