"Max's brother is an avid mountain biker. She tends to not love it and will not go with him. She had such a rad time at Buff Creek she is ready to take him there and spend the day together! Thanks Casey!" (Parent of Windy Peak Camper, 2024)
“Violet loves her phone, she was worried about being without it for so long. When she got back home she said to us how she hates how much time she was spending on her phone and plans to make a very strong effort to spend time with family, more time outside, and less time on technology. This is huge!” (Parent of Windy Peak Camper, 2024)
“Elsie has just finished her 4th year at Avid. Every year gets better! Avid is now her number one favorite thing to look forward to. She had a "count down to camp"on her bedroom wall this year. She had a wonderful time, and is sad that it's over. I just wanted to send a huge thank you to Avid for providing her with a generous scholarship and the opportunity to attend camp!” (Parent of Windy Peak Camper, 2024)
“Evan said he wouldn't have done the leadership camp if he was given that option at the beginning but by the end of camp he was glad he did it and wants to be a camp counselor when he's older.” (Parent of Windy Peak Camper, 2024)
“My son is not typically a highly athletic or thrill seeking kid. People who know him tend to be surprised at how much he likes camp for someone who gravitates towards books and video games. He wants to return to camp every year though because staff at camp set him up to be successful! They care enough to take time to meet each kid where they are at and make sure they feel supported, challenged and proud of themselves! This is rare. It's really the staff of camp that make Avid stand out.” (Parent of Windy Peak Camper, 2024)
“After 7 years of pick up from sleepaway camp with Avid, my daughter always asks to stay longer!!! Her overall experience with Avid gets better and better, year after year and my heart gets fuller and fuller. Thanks for all you do!” (Parent of Windy Peak Camper, 2024)
“Avery can feel really introverted and can take time to warm up with new people and groups. We were thrilled to hear about the friendships she forged and how she became close with her fellow campers and counselors.” (Parent of Windy Peak Camper, 2024)
