- Camp Gorham Parent"After my son’s first year at camp he told me: ‘Mom I had the best time I have ever had in my life!’ In just two weeks’ time he came home and was far more independent and active. Not to mention he was HAPPY!"
- Camp Gorham Parent"My daughter is energized by the Gorham community and her life has been changed in many positive directions. She has learned to trust others, find her own personality and accept the differences of others. She feels that she ‘belongs’ in the Camp Gorham community. Camp Gorham has not only impacted her life – it became part of it."
- Camp Gorham Parent"When I first brought my son to camp I was nervous that I had made a mistake. He knew no one at camp, had experienced a tough school year which had left him ‘feeling like nothing,’ had no confidence and was depressed. When I picked him up at the end of the week it was if the ENTIRE year had been erased! He came home a happy and enthusiastic kid!"
