Our son has spent the last 5 summers at Kodiak. He started when he was 9 after years of struggling to fit in socially and emotionally in school. We worked hard to get him the resources, but school just never "got" him. From the moment we arrived at Kodiak camp they "got" him immediately. The attention was personal but not patronizing. He was allowed to be himself, but learned to work with others; he has made real connections for the first time. Kodiak has been an oasis for all of us. The staff are highly trained, smart and compassionate. They have become our family.

Camp Kodiak has really changed our son's life in extraordinary ways and ours as his parents. Building positive self-esteem is one of the main goals of the camp, and they do this in like pros. The specially trained staff enable this happen. Every day our son was at camp, all his needs were looked after- making friends, taking meds, etc a huge plus for parents who are constantly worrying at non-specialty camps that things won't be looked after properly. Camp Kodiak really is a place to grow and the end result: it's always the best summer ever at camp, both for our son and us as his parents!
