This was Jacob's first extended camp away from home, and a new experience for us all. Your staff was very helpful at every stage. Jacob had a fantastic time. Really filled exactly the niche we needed, and Jacob got a great hands-on learning experience in film while learning to appreciate musical theater (something he hadn't much interest in before camp).
