Testimonial
"As a parent, I can't say enough about the positive impact Camp Sacajawea had on my daughter last Summer. She came home filled with stories and couldn't stop talking about all the amazing experiences she had. She made incredible friends that she still keeps in touch with, and the confidence and leadership skills she gained have been remarkable. The staff were fantastic - they created such a welcoming environment where Amelia felt completely comfortable and could be her authentic self. Camp Sacajawea truly brought out the best in her!" - Alicia T.
