Thank you for a wonderful camp. My son really enjoyed it, especially the field trip. He will be back next year.

I like the camp because I like making up a story and decorating the cover of my book.

I was pleasantly surprised how the boys responded to camp. You did a fantastic job motivating them to write for pleasure.
