What campers say
“The staff at Mt Evelyn are so helpful and supportive, and they always made me feel like I belong. The activities are fun and exciting, and if I ever feel uncomfortable doing an activity, the staff support me and help me feel safe.”

“The giant swing was a thrill, so was the crate stack. I loved how most of the activities everyone felt included and helped each other.”
