Happy Parents, Part One
It’s wonderful when blogs write themselves. The commentary below is just tip of the iceberg- taken directly from parent surveys from the summer of 2014. For us, receiving feedback that affirms the value of our program, philosophy, community, as well as the effort that we put into running Kingswood, is one of the most fulfilling aspects of the entire endeavor! This is from just a small sampling of last year’s surveys, so we’ll share more feedback in the weeks to come. Enjoy!
- The level of mentorship and leadership at Kingswood is invaluable. The amount of creativity, flexibility and humor that the counselors & staff embody is truly impressive, while never losing sight of their responsibilities and the campers’ need for appropriate limits. An incredibly difficult balance to achieve, yet done with flair and grace at Kingswood!
- Happy children = happy parents, and our kids said it was their best summer ever.
- Bob & Rob’s updates are craved each day like water in a desert! Wonderful, thorough, touching, inspiring, comforting and — of course — hilarious!!
- My son had a great time this. I have no suggestions because he has nothing but praise. Thanks for making at least part of his summer fantastic.
- Our boys came back excited, happy, more adventurous, more confident in their abilities, and with great new friends. Who can ask for more?
- Words really cannot describe how much our son loves Kingswood Camp. The camp has contributed significantly to who he is as a person. There is no other camp that we would have ever wanted Spencer to attend. Thank you for everything you do to make Kingswood Camp everything it is.
- I especially liked the new signs around camp and the beautification of Pines Field. It makes a big difference! I also like that there are hikes and other adventures that are part of the “Kingswood Experience” and the guys can keep checking them off.
- “Very satisfied” is an inadequate term to express our level of satisfaction with Kingswood. Our family loves Kingswood and thinks it is an exceptional place.
- It was my son’s first sleep away camp experience and it was over the top positive for our family. The overall understanding of boys their needs and the great choices and environment the camp creates for them is why we will be sending him there for years to come! The communication and overall staff are wonderful. The personable way we were treated is fantastic as we live on the West Coast, but felt very connected to the experience our son was having. The other boys that attend the camp are a good mix and our son made friends quickly. The camp counselors were a huge asset as well!
- I just wanted to take this opportunity to say what a wonderful time both of our sons had this summer and how appreciative we are of the responsibilities you entrust them with…as a result they both matured in positive ways this summer. Kingswood has clearly had a strong part in shaping the men they are each becoming–and we are so proud of them and their values…thank you!
