SOAR celebrates the strengths in each participant and helps them grow in many areas. Our son will be attending again next summer, for the third time. It's an awesome program with a wonderful staff led by a tremendous leader, Big John.

My 11 year old attended the 18 day Wyoming camp in 2014. It was a profound experience for her. She did not want to leave and still misses Wyoming and the camp. Lasting changes occurred with her experience including maturity level and a bit more flexible in terms of thinking. The counselors took great care of her in many ways, including her fear of heights, and we feel so thankful she has had this experience. We are planning on her returning. I highly recommend SOAR.

Our 12-year old daughter attended the NC canoe camp this past summer and loved it. She came home with new friends, life skills and coping mechanisms. The program very intentionally focuses empowering and appreciating each camper. As a result, I can see the emotional growth in my daughter.

Soar has been a blessing for our son! This is the second year we are sending him there last year was the llama trek in the Smokey mountains for 12 days and when he came back he said he wanted to go longer further so he did Wyoming for a 3 week horsepacking this summer and loved every minute of it! Next year he said he wanted to do two courses he clearly can’t get enough. He always comes back more grown up more aware of his surroundings more organized and more compliant and super happy more importantly! Like I said I cannot thank the staff enough for their patience with our little guy and teaching him how to work better with his peers and control his impulses. Thank you Soar!!
