Parent Testimonials
I wanted to start off by saying thank you all so much for changing my son’s life! I can’t believe the physical change, but mostly, his emotional changes. I feel so blessed to have met you and have Drake come to your camp. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Sarah simply said, “It was the BEST summer of my life!” and gave us huge hugs and kisses. Last summer Sarah spent 21 days in Europe. She said she had a good time. She took over 700 pictures which she never seemed to find time to get developed…..she had bought t-shirts, postcards, souvenirs, all the typical things one saves to remember their adventures. THIS summer she came home with clothing, not purchased but exchanged with her new friends to remember them by, 300 pictures which she took to be developed immediately and an action plan. She has a schedule for the gym, a plan “A” and “B” for handling lunches at school, a caloric and fat driven menu for us at home. The menu doesn’t have the exact food item we are to prepare just a calorie count which allows for personal taste and the flexibility to buy items that are on sale that week at the grocery store. An approach that is success driven and failure proof. We are shocked by the simplicity….Our daughter is really happy and “Camp Jump Start” can take all the credit! Someone once wrote: “Success is where preparation meets opportunity”. This describes your program to a “T”. We will always be grateful God allowed our paths to cross.
I get quite emotional when I think about it. As you know, it is so awful to see your child suffer and now that he has lost weight, he feels so good about himself and somehow that has opened the floodgates in me. I guess because it seems to be over and somehow my emotions have been released….Camp Jump Start IS the best investment I’ve ever made.
I wanted to take a few minutes to extend my thanks to you and Tom. Your efforts to help change the mind-set of young kids is exceptional. There aren’t many who would take the risks and chances you have for others…especially those they don’t even know. I am in awe of your pioneering spirit and determination to make a change. Thank you so much for all that you do, have done and will do in the future. Reyn is doing great! He continues to watch what he’s eating and logs things on a daily basis.
