Adventure Day Camp

It was very nice to know my child was going to be learning and be challenged throughout the week camp. It was also important to me that she was outside breathing fresh air and playing games that promote physical activity. It was also nice to feel confident that my daughter was in a program where I didn't have to worry about her all day, I know she was very well cared for, that CFI guides were making sure she drank water, and that they had fun and educational lessons to keep her entertained.

I liked when we climbed the mountain because it was challenging... I learned that pushing myself is actually quite fun and others can help to push you.

CFI summer camp was incredible. My son loved playing with and learning from his counselors. Having a day camp during a pandemic was a heavy lift, but CFI staff did a great job following the CDC guidelines and create a safe space for the campers. I also think my son is more prepared for school and this ‘new normal’ by playing in his face mask with friends at camp. Thank you CFI!

“I don’t want camp to end because I am having so much fun and being with friends” 

“We’ve been playing in the creek and going on adventures and exploring and finding cool things” 

“The coolest thing I learned was about dinosaurs.” 

“My favorite time was when I was helping my friend” 

“I learned more about other people, I learned to be patient” 

“I love everything today except one thing…going home!”

It was missing in the community having different activities and learning about where we live, learning together as a team, and helping each other being considerate of each other. Staff dealt with kids and parents very well about any incidents. There was one minor incident between children (that was not a big deal at all) but we found it so reassuring that CFI staff reached out to the parents to discuss the incident in an appropriate way so the parents knew what was going on. The staff was incredible. Kudos to them for managing all the different types. You could see the staff instilling and establishing boundaries between play time and when it was time to do lessons.

All of my guides were awesome and hardworking.

“I learned about using a map and compass and about the different plants.” 

 “I learned that I can walk really far and that I like worms” 

“I learned that I really love to hike!” 

“The outside world is more amazing than anyone can imagine.” 

“I learned you become closer [as a group] in the outdoors.” 

“I can do anything because I hiked Gold Knob!” 

“I learned that as an individual I can help care for my community and natural places.” 

“I learned how to protect natural places by leaving no trace.” 

“My favorite lesson was learning about nature, because it makes me feel closer to the earth.”
