New Testimonial from Family Survival Weekend

posted May 31, 2011 9:27 AM by Debbie Tremel

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!"
