From a parent from this weekend's program. It says it all-
"I want to thank you again for the most spectacular weekend experience
ever! In the car on the way home my son
told me, "I have been changed forever Mama. I look at the world differently
now." Here is a boy who used to
balk at having to sit in a car with "nothing to do" and beg to play
video games (which we don't allow or have), and then just sulk, however on the
two+ hour drive back to NYC with two complete strangers in the car (from the
other camp), he was completely engaged and engaging in a very sweet way, and
with a girl mind you, and she was younger than he is, and he was kind. We all talked the whole way while driving to
Newark, and once they got out of the car, he was content with "watching
the world go by" instead of begging me for my iPod. The world (nature) has become interesting to
him in a big way!"
