Quotes by Gary Forster

“Good camps fulfill a parents number one concern -- safety -- while supplying experiences and lessons in character and friendship that parents cant provide on their own. Good camps also provide a positive and inclusive atmosphere in which to grow that satisfies a childs need to belong through secret handshakes, cheers, rituals or competition.”

“Its so empowering for that to happen under the supervision of young adults who arent their parents. Campers become part of a special club of children who dont need parental supervision.”

“Its just a transition period. April can still bring some (snowy) stuff here when it gets pretty cold.”
