What parents have said about Summer Camps...
“… by the end of [camp], he was like a different person. He was excited and thrilled to be a part of it all. Everyone was great to work with and we cannot rave enough about his experience there.”
“[My daughter] is a very shy child with little self confidence. I was not at all sure she would enjoy this camp ... well, she loved it ... I was amazed that this little girl – who will not go to birthday parties unless she knows everyone – was so involved in this camp. A strong tribute to your staff, the organization and structure and size of the camp. It all worked for her. Thank you, thank you.”
“Camp at Children's Theatre is the best of all the camps we participate in. The professionalism of the program is truly amazing.”
"You and your staff go above and beyond any staff I’ve seen. From the effortless drive thru/pick up, hand outs, crafts/arts, reminder emails, and registration you and your camp staff are amazing. Please pass along to all…thank you! My family has been running summer camps since the 80’s and I know how much time and effort goes into creating a memorable & successful week." |
