Review for Vermont's Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, South Hero, VT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Vermont's Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is a very special place. The actual camp lasts only one week (although there are more events all year now that we have our own home), but the memories and the strength and love you get from Camp lasts a lifetime. Camp changes you. As a volunteer, I go to give my time and expertise in areas I excel in. I give up a week in an already short Vermont summer to make kids who have gone through ordeals no person should have to live through. I go to Camp to make a difference, but I get so much in return. Camp helps the kids forget all that they have been through and be with other kids who they can share, laugh and grow with.

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

the changes I see in kids who are closed off to everyone when they first arrive, and how much they open up and enjoy Camp and the love and support it has.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

just like the Camp to be completely finished. All the buildings built. It was be nice to be out of tents, have some electricity.
