 A boy's dream Apr 30, 2007

reviewer: Rebecca Hirschfield from Raleigh, NC

| Two summers ago, I was looking for a camp to send my stepson. We had recently moved to North Carolina from Baltimore and all he knew was an urban camp setting at a community center. I'd gone to sleepaway camp as a girl scout and knew that it was a great experience. I wanted to find a camp where my stepson would have to rough it a bit -- not one of these "country club" camps with air conditioned cabins.
I found Deep Woods on the internet, and got in touch with Kells Hogan (director). The setting was perfect and the price was right. We signed him up for the first 4 weeks. Other parents have already written about the changes in their sons upon return from camp -- this was true for my stepson as well. We found him to be more mature, confident and self-sufficient after that first summer.
We signed him up again for the next year, and after the first 3 weeks, he called begging us to let him stay for the entire 10 weeks. He was promoted to junior ranger for the second session and took on a new level of responsibility. Kells has invited him back as a ranger for this coming summer's first session.
We are immensely grateful for the experience that Deep Woods has provided for my stepson. There aren't too many camps out there with the same emphasis on integrity, teamwork and appreciation of the outdoors. We hope that he will continue to grow with Deep Woods, and perhaps return as a counselor in the years to come. |
