“Jean tells us all the time that magic and miracles happen here. She did not tell us that they happen every day! I have witnessed amazing transformations in kids that had given up all hope. Here at Camp Jump Start they get a second chance at health and happiness. They learn to be comfortable in their own skin. They make friends that will last a lifetime. I am honored to have been a part of this.”
CJS Counselor“Over the past two years I have worked at a recreation center with nutrition incorporated into my job, but I truly feel that the nine weeks I spent with you was more valuable to my education (and personal growth) than the 104 weeks I have spent with my year round employer and school. Camp taught me how to be a better person, how to be a better mentor, how to be a better student and employee in the world of dietetics.
Simply, thank you!”
I thought I was going to have fun this summer….and did that and so much more. I had no idea the impact my job would have on molding me into a better person….THANK YOU!
