We knew that coming to camp would help us overcome our challenges because we get to see our friends and our friends help us feel better and that helps us overcome our challenges.

Your resilience and determination has filled us with pride and fulfillment. For some, this summer was a shot in the dark while for others you knew this was exactly what you needed. No matter your stance, as I said, we are all so very proud of you.
