– Delana, Volunteer, Retreat Guest, and Parent

“The Ascension School Camp is the highlight of our kids’ summer. The staff is so welcoming and supportive of the kids, the activities diverse and fun. We have two returning campers (one for their 4th year and one for their 2nd) who are really looking forward to creating more memories at camp this summer.”

“As a parent their camp provides a safe enriching environment for our kids. Our first-year camper last year was pretty sure he didn’t want to go. The camp staff knew this, and a counselor grabbed him up on our arrival and took him to unpack his bag. We left unsure when we would get a call to come get him. An hour later we got a text and looked to see that staff was sending us a photo of our son having a blast playing with fellow campers.”

“Highly recommend the Ascension School Camp.”

– Jan & Lori
