“She cried because she missed camp so much. It is one of her
favorite things, she wants to live there.” - Parent/Guardian of a 2019 camper
“Our daughter is naturally shy in places or with people she has not
yet met. At GS camp, she found her voice, her ability to put herself
out there and be received by a warm and welcoming community. The
impact of that experience will influence her as she moves forward in
life. Thank you for offering this type of community for young women.
The effects of it cannot be underestimated.” – Parent/Guardian of a
2019 camper
"Camp gets her away from technology and lets her be steeped for
days in the outdoors & interpersonal relationships without
technology. She gets to be with herself. She gets to be with others -
in a genuine way. It gives her an opportunity for purely human
connection." ~Parent/Guardian of a 2018 camper
"Each year she becomes a bit more independent and she continues
to grow into a young woman. Being away from parents and doing things
on her own has been a direct impact." ~ Parent/Guardian of a 2018 camper
"She has developed a sense of independence, fearlessness, and
leadership. I have watched her grow from a timid Brownie unsure of how
to handle herself at camp into a self-assured Cadette excited about
the adventures that awaited her." ~ Parent/Guardian of a 2018 camper
"My daughter has been attending camp for 6 years. Every year
she goes alone and meets someone new. Each year she made a new friend.
Her communication skills have improved, and her confidence is growing,
she always tries something new that should would have not done outside
of camp." ~Parent/Guardian of a 2018 camper
“My daughter came home more mature than when I sent her. She
had an amazing time during her first overnight camping trip.”
~Parent/Guardian of 2016 camper
“I have been sending my daughters to CLW for the past 12 years, and
their experiences have always been wonderful. They come home full of
stories that get repeated all year long. Girl Scout camp at Laughing
Waters is one of the building blocks in the foundation of their
lives.” ~Parent/Guardian of 2016 camper
