Because of Camp . . .® MARLA COLEMAN Ninety-six percent of campers surveyed say that camp helped them make new friends, and their parents confirm that sixty-nine percent of them kept those friends for long after camp ended (ACA, 2004)! “Because I feel safe, I have an alternate personality at camp that is different than home. I’m less cautious to do fun and exciting things, and while I feel independent, I don’t feel as alone as I sometimes do at home.” “I’ve never been so happy as right here, right now, with all of you.” “Camp makes me strong.” “My experience at camp helped me look at challenging situations in a different way. Instead of giving up, I find a way around them.”
