Overall, her experience was better than I could have imagined! She went from a girl scared to be left at camp on day 1 to a girl who wants to come back next year! Thank you all for making this the best experience ever for her!!!!! Elementary Enrichment

Patrick had an amazing time. He enjoyed everything he was a part of! He's ready to come back next year. Elementary Enrichment

She took a lot of pride in independence this summer, in a way she hadn't previously. After just a few initial calls, her check-ins to home became very sporadic (which we were thrilled about!) - she told us she was "too busy being independent to call us everyday!." We know this program helped give Nora the important building blocks to achieve maximum levels of independence in the future. Thank you so much! WALIC Program

SWEAT program is absolutely awesome!

Francisca M.

We are very pleased and impressed with your summer program. My student calls it the best summer camp that she's ever been in. This was her first time being around other kids with visual impairments and being comfortable talking about her own impairment. The staff were very good to our daughter and offered a very nurturing atmosphere. Thank you! Elementary Enrichment

Staff are top notch educators. Allison was able to express herself freely with her teacher, which is a huge win for a student that is deafblind attending a program for the first time. SWEAT Program
