From a Social Servant:
"The largest impact is that these children have a week out of their lives where they get nothing
but caring and respect and adventure and they get to be children without any exceptions for an
entire week."

From Steve Coons (Executive Director of Westminster Woods):
"Each year as we put on Cool Kids Camp here at Westminster Woods I am more and more affirmed of
the value of this program and the impact it is having on children and their families. Especially
this year as parents are coming back for the 3rd year and are telling us what is happening at
home. The children seem to have more self-esteem. They seem to have a better sense of boundaries,
they are more polite. They have figured out in their therapy and practical application here at
the camp how to resolve conflict in a way that doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone or being
hit, so the impact is significant on what is happening in their lives and what is happening at home."

From Tom Farrell (Founder of Cool Kids Camp):
"The kids that have been here all three years have really changed in the sense
that when they first came here they were very frightened, they were in many cases away from their
parents for the first time in there lives, in a strange environment, with new people, and
because of the abilities of the counselors at this camp gradually I have seen a softening in the
kids, an ability to relate far better to each other, in essence they have become more confident
human beings."

From Parents:
"She made a lot of friends, they exchanged phone numbers and they kept in touch the whole year round
so she couldn't wait to come back."
"He's just been growing and maturing and being really helpful at home. I know he really looked
forward to it and enjoyed it and made friends with people here he wanted to stay in touch with."
