"Champ Camp has been such a fun and lovely experience. They clearly recruit people who are excited to take care of your kids and show up engaged from the beginning through end of day. My kid felt so loved and always had the warmest things to say about his counselors. They actually get to know the kids and bring out their personalities."

-2025 Camp Parent

"After the first day of camp I knew this was the right place for him. He had some rough times this past year in Kindergarten and I could see immediately how much happier and more himself he was at Champ Camp."
