Girls:

“I learned that you need to help the community even if you're little. You need to help the community any way you can, because even a small change could make a difference.”  — Queens Girl Scout

 “My favorite activities were planting the trees and when we go to the park and help the community. When I get to plant trees I get my hands a little dirty and I like to get my hands dirty.”  — Bronx Girl Scout

“I was nervous [to come to camp] because I didn’t have any friends. And normally sometimes people are mean to me, so I just shut my mouth and keep it closed. Now [that I’ve been in camp] I feel differently. People talking to me helped me feel differently, and making new friends, and having sisters. I never had sisters before! It’s great.”  — Brownie Girl Scout

Parents:

“My daughter was a bit scared to try camp. I had to encourage her to try it first. When she came home on the first day, she said she had the greatest day of her life ever.”

"At camp, she overcame a fear of heights, and now she's more willing to take risks in other areas of life as well. For example, she never was really into playing instruments, but now she's willing to try it to see whether or not she's interested in it."

“I was happy that my daughter was happy at camp, and I could go to work and not have to worry about her.”

Teachers:

“April is one of the many girls who enjoyed a summer jammed with learning - and the most important lesson, respect: respect of self, others, and our environment. April is forever changed! Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
