“Kirk… Wanted to thank you SO MUCH for another beautiful camp experience filled with sweetness, learning, peaceful play, and lots of love. You really create magic! Thank you for everything!”
”Sees the Day in my view is the perfect summer day camp. My two kids have really enjoyed their days spent with Sees the Day and Kirk Cooper's team. My kids have attended a wide variety of summer camps, and Sees the Day is their reigning favorite. I suspect is the camaraderie they have with the other campers and Kirk's ability to facilitate this fellowship. As for myself, I like that the kids are spending the day outside, interacting with other kids, having some structured activities and time to hang out, and I like that Kirk is imparting values that I would want my kids to hear. He makes mutual respect and respect for the outdoors a dual priority. A day at Sees the Day is as much of a character-building experience as it is a pastime. Sees the Day is our families favorite summer camp.”
“I don’t know if you remember me. My name is Amelia Bond and I attended Sees the Day from 2010-2015. I’m 17 now and applying to college. Writing my essays has made me realize how much of an impact Sees the Day had on me. I remember being taught about mindfulness, human’s impact on nature, and the importance of expressing gratitude and being kind. I think about these values on a near daily basis, and they’re an integral part of who I am today. I just wanted to write and thank you for helping teach children such wonderful skills, that they’ll hopefully, like me, carry with them for their whole lives.”
