Testimonials

“Our child started off the week nervous and unsure, but by the time Saturday came, she was glowing with pride and confidence. Thank you for providing her with such a fun and supportive environment. She can’t wait to go back next year!”

“This camp exceeded my and my child’s expectations. It is one of the most well-run, fun, and engaging camps we have ever experienced. It’s been 2 weeks and my kids are still stepping around the house. I hope to be able to find something that my boys can participate in year-round. We will definitely be back for 2024 and beyond!”

“As a parent of summer campers for over 13 years, I must say this camp continues to elevate itself. My daughter had a phenomenal time and she cannot wait to return next year!”

“Thank you for all your hard work to create a valuable and fun experience for our children!”

“My son said he’s definitely coming back next summer! This is his FAVORITE CAMP! As always the performance was AMAZING! I can’t wait to see what’s in store next summer.”

“This was my daughter’s first year participating with Summer Steps. She said she had a blast and wanted to do it again. She expressed that if she could only do one camp next summer, it would be this one. Thank you for providing space for children to explore their gifts and talents, learn discipline, and have fun!”
