"My 5 year old daughter attended Champ Camp during summer 2025. She enjoyed every single day of the camp. It was fun, educational and friendly."

-2025 Camp Parent

"Champ Camp has been such a fun and lovely experience. They clearly recruit people who are excited to take care of your kids and show up engaged from the beginning through end of day. My kid felt so loved and always had the warmest things to say about his counselors. They actually get to know the kids and bring out their personalities."
