Why Parents Choose Camp I Am Me Parents consistently share that camp provides something they cannot easily replicate anywhere else. It’s a place where their child feels confident, accepted, and genuinely happy.
Many describe it as the first time their child:
Feels completely comfortable in their own skin
Builds friendships without fear of judgment
Gains independence in a safe, structured environment
As one parent shared, camp is a place “where he feels he belongs and where he is well-cared for.”
“There is a special place in heaven for all of you! Thank you so much.”
“Summer Camp turned a horrific event in our life into something positive to look forward to every year. For everyone that volunteers to make program happen, the world is a better place because of you.”
“Ben returns from camp every year with amazing stories and his confidence grows each year. He has repeatedly told us how good it is “to be with kids like me”. Ben seems stronger and happier after camp.”
“Isabel came home with this air of humility. She has been much more patient with her little sister, taught her how to make those rubber band bracelets and to play the “cup song.” Isabel has been wearing shorter shorts that show her burns outdoors!”
“This is Nick’s 4th year of attending and Nick has always been shy and quiet. Then after being burned I thought it would be worse. He’s actually gotten better from attending camp! When we pick him up on Sunday the first thing he says is “I can’t wait for next year!” You guys are doing a tremendous job!”
“I think my daughter benefited from attending camp because Camp I Am Me provides an extremely fun atmosphere/activities and gave her a chance to experience them with individuals who understand exactly what she’s been through. It creates a pure bond between these kids and allows them to celebrate together the amazing people they really are.”
“Camp has been very beneficial for our son because he had the opportunity to see that he was not alone and that other people understood what he was going through. He has made some very good friends at camp!”
