...Thank you for giving me a month to remember for the rest of my life.  Thank you for the greatest gift of all---Health and Knowledge...Reyn

...what I will miss is how much you cared about me and everyone else.  How personal you got with us.  No other camp--weight loss or not--has ever cared as much as you.  You were like a home-away-from-home, a mom-away-from-mom for me.   All in all I want to thank you for helping me make this one of the most worthwhile summers of my life....Lisa

...Thank you for such an amazing summer.  I learned a lot about food and exercise, but more so I learned life lessons.  I could go on and on, but you both know how much you have helped.  Thank you so much!...Elise

...I have learned so much about my health, nutrition and about myself.  I have realized good qualities in myself.  And I am thankful for the environment you put out for me so I could exercise those good qualities of mine in a healthy manner.  All you ever asked is that we try our best and that alone kept things challenging enough that every day I wanted to see what I could accomplish for that day.  I appreciate and am grateful for all that you have done for me....Ashley

...I am so glad I went to camp after all!  A lot of my family members are either overweight or obese.....Its funny because now that I have been at camp everyone comes running to me with all these questions about what they should eat or how they should eat....Jasmine

...You cannot know how much happier I feel.  There is no way I can ever possibly thank you.  There's this new girl at my school and me and her and my friend Anna were talking about volleyball and how when we ran I was always last and now I am first.  I always get done with sprints first!!!!!!!!That's never, never, never happened before.  Ever!  And the new girl goes "what? YOU used to be fat?" which means I must not be now.  It feels so gooooood!  I don't guess you can understand this but coming in first on those sprints is like winning the olympics for me.  Last year it was all I could do without dying after one lap.  Now I am FIRST on sprints!  I cannot thank you enough.....Emily

...Thank you for helping me reach my goals....Kristy

...I want to thank you for everything that you have done for me over the summer.  I will truly remember every thing you taught me and in the future I will teach those same life lessons to my children.  I am forever in your debt for what you have helped me achieve. Thank you!!!....Sarah

...Just being here has changed my life forever.  You have taught me new things and new ways of thinking and doing and living my life.  I truly do appreciate my stay here and all the good times we shared....Jenay

...I have had the most fun of my life!  I lost 32 pounds!  I started to notice that I was getting smaller.  I was so happy and you could see in my pictures that I have changed.  I am so happy that my life has changed....Casey

...I have grown up so much in these past 2 months and I have made the greatest friends here.  I will never be able to forget anyone here.  Thank you so much for everything and I love you...Audrey

...Your camp has made me feel like a winner and I've grown to realize that I am.  I'm not sure what my weight is because the weigh-in is tomorrow, but for the first time in years, I don't care.  Thank you!....You have changed my life and showed me what I'm really capable of being and doing...Thank you so incredibly much.  This is the best summer of my life....Kayla

...The other day I caught myself calling this place home, and it hit me that it is really a home now.  I love it here.  I love everything about it.  You have created an amazing place and I feel blessed to have met you and to be a part of this special place.  Thank you for your constant interest in all of us and thank you for always loving us for who we are.  Most of all thanks for giving me the best experience of my life...Rache
