Aaron says that the [Appalachian Trail] was “beyond awesome,” and both
he and Lydia have spent many hours e-mailing friends and having LONG
phone conversations to people in Florida, Tennessee, South Carolina and
elsewhere. We feel so fortunate to have a place that helps our children
recognize that they can be part of a greater community. Please express
to all these wonderful people who love and nurture our children over
the summer that they are so much more than simply summer camp counselors.
They will always be a part of the best part of our children’s lives.
Many thanks. - Terry Schupbach-Gordon, Parent |

We just wanted to thank you very much for helping to make Hante so great!
Nick came back raving about the experience. He liked everybody in his
group very much and enjoyed all the activities. We believe a lot of the
experience had to do with the three of you and your leadership and “fun” qualities.
We appreciate your efforts and help. On top of everything else, you should
have your own cooking show judging by Nick’s description of every
meal as “awesome.” We hope to see you again next year at
another Hante. - Adriana Oller and Neal Cariello, Parents |

There’s something I would like to say…something I should
have said about seven years ago and don’t know if I ever verbalized
it. I appreciated Eagle’s Nest so much for taking us 100 miles
through the Virginia woods. Honestly, that trip was one of my finer,
most successful memories of my youth. It’s something I’ve
been proud of ever since and learned a lot from. However, the lessons
weren’t all focused on camping skills and living simply, even though
that was a huge part, but it was more on realizing how much maturing
I had to do. And even though my insecurity made things blurry back then,
I do remember how much of a role model the staff was. You showed us what
it meant to be a good person. Thanks for taking us 100 miles closer to
maturity. - Mavis Clapp |
