Review for Summer Camp Inc, Bridgton, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

The Summer Camp is am extraordinary place, where for ten days the girls that come to the camp get to just be little girls. Many of the young girls that attend the Summer Camp have experienced traumatizing events that many of us couldn't even imagine. For the ten days they get to spend in the woods, on the pond, and exploring Maine on day trips, they get to forget about their daily realities. At the Summer Camp, the girls get to meet other young campers who many have experienced the same traumas, and they also get to interact with older counselors who in many ways can act as mentors. This camp is an amazing experience, not just for the campers, but also for everyone involved. I personally, was inspired by the strength and courage of these young girls who have been through so much. At camp they get to enjoy activities and environments their familial and economic situations don't allow for them. The Summer Camp is a wonderful place where young girls get to express themselves and experience things they don't normally get the chance to. I would definitely recommend the Summer Camp not just as an amazing place to work for the summer, but also for any young girls.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

the lasting relationships developed from the two summer's I spent working at The Summer Camp, and the wonderful memories I will always cherish.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
