“This Story Is Called Michellee Grogan Camp Story.
This Would Be My 20th Year Coming To Upward Bound Camp. I Have Been To Leadership Camp 3 Times. I Enjoy coming to camp every summer & having tons of fun with my camp friends and asking mom If I come back one more week in the Summer. I especially like to come to camp around my birthday so we can celebrate all week even have cake one day. I enjoy all the activities at camp and petting all the animals. I Even got lucky And Won Three 100 Dollar hats at The Upward Bound Camp Auctions.”

“I really want to take a quick minute to say THANK YOU!”
I know my sister and I have very different needs and wants. I do the very best I can to fulfill her needs. I don't even know what they all are, let alone be able to do a perfect job at this. But I try.
Things were getting pretty tough around here, I had no idea how to do a turn around. Frankly, I was losing hope that we could get back to a happy place together. Nothing I tried was working.
But THANKS TO YOU ALL at Upward Bound....
Home has been good together again.
That reset, time apart we had, has done wonders.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Thank you for this this reset! Thank you for giving my sister all the attention she could soak up. And thank you for doing what you do every single day to make this a better world to live in for so many folks!

“Family Camp Survey”
Our experience was amazing and plan to come again next year to both family camps. The staff are so amazing. I loved how they try to get to know every family. This is like a loving family showing hospitality to all campers. I fell in love with the people here and this camp has a special place in my heart now. I would recommend it to any and all my friends that have special children.

I just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity for us to come to camp. I must say the space on the land where it is so peaceful that even without one single minute of respite to myself, I was calmer than before- thank you
