Review for The Painted Turtle, Santa Monica, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

As a donor we have seen the camp in action. What a great place. Dedication to the kids and their experience, high quality staff, fun experiences, everything that makes for a memorable time for the kids and their families. It is a unique atmosphere with a creative team who puts the kids first and it shows.

Review for The Painted Turtle, Santa Monica, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

An amazing experience - for children with disabilities and their families there may not be a better more fun place around. There is a basketball court from the LA Lakers with the Lakers hardwood floor (and the logo), a pool shaped like a whale, a medical building that is like a visit to Hawaii, lodging that is like a resort camp vacation, arts & crafts lead by a dedicated craftsman, activities that you would not imagine being in a camp like this and most importantly friendly and inspired staff. From the camp counselors, activity leaders, medical staff on site to the admin staff everyone puts the kids, families and their experience first. The success of this program is built on the amazing people who work and volunteer there and on the fabulous generosity of their donors from the companies that donate toys for the kids, to the volunteers who make quilts and stuffed turtles for the children everyone matters here!
