RECENT ACTIVITIES
	Is there more to summer camp than just fun and games?
	It's my child's first time going to camp, will she be the only new camper?
	I am the Executive Director of Camp Awakening and we provide an integrated outdoor rec program for youth with physical disabilities (ages 8-18). We operate out of two traditional summer camps in Ontario - Kilcoo Camp for boys and Camp Oconto for girls. Visit www.campawakening.com for more info!
	We have a page on our website called "Parent Testimonials." I've also read through many surveys of parents about how camp works in a way that school simply cannot to develop the confidence and courage in kids. It's socialization, it's fun, it's learning new skills, it's growing in appreciation of nature, it's all these things, but at Pioneer, it's also unashamedly about relationships. Our counselors really care about the kids. For many kids, the person who has made the greatest impact on them is their cabin leader. They come back from camp with a role model in their lives, someone they look up to and want to be like one day. Many of our campers come back and work at camp.
