What are parents saying about Growing Up Wild?...

"My son had so much fun at camp!!! They do a lot of cool activities with the kids, which I love most. Staff was friendly and communicated with me with any questions promptly through email. Overall, I definitely feel that this camp was a space for him to find his inner strength and build self confidence, which is what I was looking for. I will be bringing him back again next year."

"My son loves this camp! Hope he can be there in some form this summer!"
