I just wanted to add my thanks for 2 great weeks of camp for my son and daughter. I think I passed this on to you, but I wanted to say again how impressive a group of counselors you have — very nice, polite and genuinely friendly. They're such terrific role models for the kids. And even what I heard during only the few minutes before pick up the past few weeks made it clear that the consistent message of Headfirst was a primary focus at camp — being a team player and giving maximum effort. You communicate so well with kids, and I'm very grateful for all that you're teaching mine.  — Summer Camp Parent
My two sons did Headfirst Camp last week and also a week in late June. About 2 hours after we got home on Friday afternoon, my older son said 'I miss baseball camp.' I say this to let you know how much they enjoyed it and to thank you and the other counselors for all the effort you make to help the campers feel noticed and important and to teach them both sports and life skills. — Summer Camp Parent
Thank you for another wonderful summer! As for the camps, my children have been to multiple Headfirst camps this summer and we have been extremely pleased with the experience. Your team is terrific... Hats off to the entire staff and see you again next summer. — Summer Camp Parent
