“My kiddo became a different kiddo after attending Avid Camp this year. He is more confident in himself, he speaks about making good friendships and also how he felt very accepted at camp. We were coming off a rough school year and this camp session really set him up for a positive summer and hopefully a great start to his 5th grade year.” (Parent of CBS, 2024)
“My child tends to be very negative about most extra-curricular activities and experiences. He came home feeling positive and well adjusted which is HUGE for him. I'm so glad he had such a good team and positive experience!” (Parent of CBS, 2024)
“This was a first camp experience and first time sleeping away from home or relatives. He was nervous to say the least…. On his return, he was bursting with pride after excelling at rock climbing and loving all of the different sports. His first ask….. Can I have a mountain bike for my birthday?” (Parent of CBS, 2024)
“Dom’s favorite thing at camp (other than mealtime and all the food) was the morning club activity. He was telling me about going for a small hike at 6 in the morning and I think for a kid to learn the benefits of experiences like this…priceless. They’re so used to morning routines before school but maybe adding some morning “special” things like a dog walk or even just sitting outside and looking at birds, might be a nice way out of a routine.” (Parent of CBS, 2024)
“Cosette loved the variety of activities at Camp Blue Sky. She is an adventurous kid so there isn't any super specific that she overcame. One of the things that stood out to me as a parent was that no matter the activity, the instructors made it different and fun. For example, when kayaking, the kids had to make "piano keys" and have each person from their group run across all the kayaks. It was the perfect combination of challenging and silly fun.” (Parent of CBS, 2024)
“My husband and I kept saying, "Who is this kid?" after he returned from camp. He was so much more independent and still wakes up each morning stating his goals for the day. It was a life-changing experience for him and we are so grateful that you all took such good care of him.” (Parent of CBS, 2023)
