“For my part, what I noticed about (the camper) is that his self-esteem and confidence level had gotten a huge boost after camp. He was glowing with better health and energy, too—from all that time outside, which was impossible where he lived. He couldn’t stop talking about his adventures and some of the adults who mentored him.”
