Over the years, we have witnessed firsthand the difference that our program makes. Every day, we see the accomplishments of the Dream Camp children; many have shown improved academic performance, attendance, and behavior. They learn to make better choices, begin thinking about the future, become better leaders, and develop plans to achieve their goals. 

Consider the following testimonials from our parents and our Team: 

“This is a program that inspires children to expand their horizons and express themselves in positive ways…This program is essential to the kids in Hartford.” – Mrs. Mary Ann Rosa, camp parent

“My daughter…has struggled with reading skills since entry into school despite additional attention given to this important skill in both school and at home. My daughter was enrolled in the after-school program in the second grade and has continued to participate…I am pleased to say her most recent report card was the first report card where her teachers indicated that promotion to the next grade was not in question.” – Ms. Gloria Dieppa, camp parent

“What Dream Camp [does] is teach our children how to grow up to become all they can be and not settle for just anything…I have not seen any other program in our area that can give our children what they have…It does not get any better than this.” – Ms. Sheila McFarlane, camp parent

“Undoubtedly, Dream Camp has been the best of my working experiences, not only because of the children, but also because of my personal growth.” – Alexander Oji, Team member

“At Dream Camp, children of every color, creed, and culture come together, learn about one another, respect one another, and learn valuable life lessons. Dream Camp presents youth with an opportunity to experience a place free of worry about the uncertainties of life. At Dream Camp, a kid is free to be a kid.” – Christian Holland, Team member
