“The [Y.O.U.] staff possess this magical mixture of skills and knowing when to allow safe risk taking and intervene when necessary.  They all were able to tap into EACH child's natural curiosity with out singling out any particular child. EACH child felt like they belonged to the group. (As we all know this is a basic need of all humans)   This is what YOU has always done so well and will continue to do! The impact of these experiences are very difficult to measure but truly have a lasting impact -- Phillip wants to be a counselor at YOU. I am so grateful as a parent, community member, educator and human." -Doreen Lopes, Phillip's Mom

Thank you so much for checking on the girls experience, they both went in scared. When I was leaving I had to reassure them everything was going to be ok. When I came to pick them up they were all smiles. They enjoyed talking to the counselors. They were talking about getting the same bikes next week. A true win. They were sitting next to me when you called and being a teenager and a preteen they hate when I talk about them. God Bless the work you do! Please let everyone know how grateful and thankful we are to have such amazing people on this journey with our daughters. - Parent of participant
