What did your child enjoy most about Camp Amy Molson?
Meeting up with friends she meets up in summer. She enjoyed watching personalities unfold, and sharing funny moments when she gets back home. I so much enjoy seeing my daughter become her own person. Her first time there she was glued to my skirt. The camp has given her the confidence to take care of herself now that she is in high school and needs to be responsible enough to travel by bus own her own. This camp was the best gift ever from two loyal social workers who knew what they were doing when they first walked in my home. Thank you so much Camp Amy Molson. She wants to come back next year, and this time for TWO sessions.
See you then
They enjoyed themselves so much they asked for another session and want to go back every year. Furthermore they would like to be counselor’s there when they get too old to be a camper.
As a parent with a child with behavioral issues, I believe that sending him to Amy Molson was the best thing I could do for him, and our family.
Has your child’s behavior changed since he or she returned from camp?
Yes it has. She was a very shy little girl who did not have much self esteem. I have noticed a big change; she is able to communicate more of her feelings as well as being more open to new ideas. I have also noticed more of independence.
As a parent, what do you like most about the camp?
Knowing my child is having a great experience with trustworthy staff.
It was in the mid 1980's.I was working as a counselor that year. Someone played the song "Lean on me" on the P.A. All 4 tribes got into a huge circle .All of the staff (program staff) made a human chain with us. In all my summers at CAM I never saw so many campers (swaying to that song and staff included) so happy. I knew these people were like my second family. Everyone was contented for that time and whenever I think of camp I always think of that moment.
Camp Amy Molson has had such a positive effect on my life. I honestly believe it helped me in my decision to become a Nurse. The difference it made in my life was that I got to work with my family every summer. Thank you for making such a positive impact on my life.

At camp, I learned how to use my talents and skills to give of myself to others. Creating friendships and establishing trust with my campers was a heart touching experience. I gained confidence working with children of all ages including how to lead teenagers in becoming great camp counselors.
There are an abundance of C.A.M. memories but one that I hold dear is the last camp fire of the session, when all the fun has been had and what remains is the good bye the following morning with a smile on your face and tears down your cheeks. Your heart grows a little more each time as you hope to see those faces again soon.

Two weeks of not having to worry about what they are doing and knowing that they are safe.

I feel safe. The cost is affordable. Great counselors very helpful. I cannot find a negative thing to say.

Thank you to all the members of Camp Amy Molson for giving our daughter the experience of a lifetime. She couldn't stop talking about all her experiences at camp! It was her first time away from home for such a long period and I truly feel she has matured in some ways and is more appreciative.
G.C.
To all the children at Camp Amy Molson to come, this message is for you.
Come to camp, make some friends and have fun! I myself have met my dearest friend at this camp. We have had many hardships but even more happy times.
We are brought together by C.A.M. every year but now we are forced to leave it. We'll be back in two years to work but we will miss it forever. The third session of the first year as L.I.T.'s has been an everlasting experience of maturity and self-confidence. May all the friends of C.A.M. to come be happy and loved by each other.

There should be a special place
for all to shine with hearts as warm and loving as yours. I am
truly grateful for your kindness and thoughtfulness.
Thank you for being there for my children and I. More than you’ll
ever realize.

My kids really enjoyed the camp and they want to go back next year.
It was the first time and we really were pleased with the organization.
The place is also very, very, nice.

The camp is well organized. The staff cares about the well being of
the children. When I send my son to Camp Amy Molson I never worry. I
know he is well taken care of and that he will enjoy himself. The camp
has a variety of interesting activities for the kids.

I liked my son's attitude very much when he returned from camp. He
was happy and had a wonderful time. I would recommend Camp Amy Molson
to others because my son has difficulty with his attitude and has ADS
so sometimes he has difficulty communicating and getting along with
others. The staff at camp were terrific with him and made him feel
right at home. Thank you very much to all the staff.

My daughter has experienced things at camp that she never would have
done at home. She has good memories, she will never forget. My daughter
has been going to Camp Amy Molson since she was 5 years old. She is
now 11 years old. In this time she has earned many things. She swims
very well thanks to the camp. She has also learned to be more independent
which was hard to do at home as she was an extremely sheltered child.
It has also taught her to accept other children for what they are,
etc. Thank you Camp Amy Molson.
