I just saw a picture of Amanda and I have not seen her that happy in a very long time!! Words can not express my gratitude!!

Debbie and Eric are my heroes. From our initial meeting in February to the video chat they had with my anxious camper (for an hour, no less) to an amazing summer… They are kind, compassionate, helpful and thorough. My trust in Debbie & Eric and the entire Akeela staff was immeasurable. I felt confident that it was the right place for Nate and I’d recommend it in a heartbeat.

The small setting and high counselor-to-camper ratio were great. The staff was fantastic. It’s hard to find a camp for an older child who wants to attend for the first time and Akeela was a great experience for Chris.

I am so grateful for the wonderfully affirming camp experience you created for Caitlin. There were so many aspects of the camp that were impressive, but the compassion of the counselors was absolutely inspiring. Thank you for your dedication to these kids.

Zack is definitely a more mature and more confident kid, and we know that Akeela played an important role in this transformation.

Thank you for making Reed’s first “away” camp such a wonderful experience. We missed him but are so excited to hear about his new friends and accomplishments. You’re a very special group of people and we are so grateful for the time that you shared with Reed.

I was thrilled to hear of Meghan’s many accomplishments at camp. I am thrilled to learn she expanded her comfort level to try them. We can not stop raving about the staff, programming and overall sense of love and encouragement we witnessed today. Akeela was a terrific experience for Meghan and is quite simply an exceptional place.

You have no idea how lucky I feel that we found you, that you’re such an excellent camp and that I can give Jon this wonderful, happy experience!

I wanted to let you know how impressed I was with all of your staff. Billy loved all of the counselors and instructors. I was struck by the strong relationships that all of them had developed with our son over such a short amount of time.

I want to thank you for helping me to get Zoe’s difficulty with her bunk-mate squared away. You’re doing a terrific thing by having such a camp. You’ve certainly made a lasting impression on us. Your fun-loving kindness, dedication and hard work are clear and obvious. We hope nothing but good grows from what you have begun here. Thank you for everything.
