TESTIMONIALS

Robin Hood Camps

Camp Industry Association, Moscow, Russia

“Together we must draw even more public attention to the problem of the survival of camps, particularly with the COVID situation”

Jeff Bradshaw

Wenonah, OCA, Canada

“Summer Camp helps us gain confidence, empathy, independence, resilience and a crucial sense of place and community. Camp provides us with lessons of a lifetime.”

Virgilio Vergara

Esperanza, Mexico

“Camp matters to me because it has given me a reason for being, a focus in life, a way to get to know myself and others, a place and a space to explore nature and the big questions in life; #ThanksToCamp I have had the opportunity to give.”

Dr. Roberta Bondar

Physician, scientist, educator, astronaut, author, and professional photographer

“My introduction to the natural world with my parents and sister in the early 1950s prepared me well for my life experiences. Although I left the planet for a mission into space in 1992, it truly was a camping adventure that was out of this world. Girl Guides of Canada and family tenting in all seasons around the Great Lakes gave me confidence and self-reliance. The natural world continues to inspire me.”

We Are Together

Tyumen Region Camp Association, Russia

“At camp, children try new things, find themselves, their hobbies, and acquire true friends - all of this tells us that in the future, thanks to the fact that the child went to camp, their life will be more successful.”

Alena Derechi

New Generation Camp, Perm, Russia

“Camp matters to me because camp is a place for self-development, creativity and professional growth…#ThanksToCamp for the opportunity to create, socialize, study and make friends with common interests.”

Children’s Republic

Tyumen Region Camp Association, Russia

“A special atmosphere lives here, it is safe here, there are new friends, emotions, new experiences and knowledge. What you get at camp is useful in life, at school, in communicating with friends and family; it helps you to grow as a successful leader.”

Heart of the Nation

Samara Region Camp Association, Russia

“We appreciate the work and assistance of ICF, the experience of professionals from all over the world makes it possible to develop and feel confident along the way. We are honored to be a member of this great team.”

Morella Parés

Panama

“This campaign provides international validation to our local effort to create a camp culture in which families understand camp to be indispensable for our children’s social-emotional development.”

Go Camp Pro

Canada

“Camp allows children, youth and adults not only discover the best parts about themselves, but learn how to use those parts to make the world a better place for others”.
