"I am so grateful that this camp is available. It has exceeded our expectations year over year. There is nothing like knowing that one's child is gaining understanding and perspective and enjoying every moment of it!" Anjanette Warren, Lancaster, Pa.

"Our daughter simply loves the camp. This was her second year and she had as much fun as last year and plans to attend next year. I love that you introduce her to other customs and cultures. It is wonderful that she can meet people from the country and taste some of its traditional foods. This camp is excellent!! We highly recommend it!" Tammy Smith, Lancaster, Pa.

"Thank you for providing such an enriching yet fun week for the children. I just wish each Lancaster County kid could attend your camp. They learned so much but in a fun and meaningful way. Thank you for expanding horizons. It was a wonderful week for our daughter and our whole family." Jill Neuman, Lancaster, Pa.

"Keep up the great work! You've got a great idea and an excellent program. The wars in the next decades will be fought over beliefs. The more we can help our children respect and understand cultural beliefs and difference, the better able they will be at living in peace and being peacemakers." Dan Snyder, Lancaster, Pa.

"This was quite a find for us. I always look for one special camp a year for my children and this one was it. They will continue to be a part of Kids and Cultures for years to come." Laura Dalessio, Lititz, Pa.
