If you’re afraid of hard work, you’d better stay at home and spend the next summer idling away your time on a beach. If you’re not, if you’re ready to help people who do need your help, you’re welcome.”

    ~ Dmitry Slavin

  • “I was scared! - Scared of what was to come - scared of being in a room full of people I didn’t know and who didn’t speak the same language as I. But most of all, I was scared of the bugs! As camp progressed, I realized that compared to most people around me, my concerns were trivial. What was to come was probably the most amazing and eye-opening experience of my life. The large number of people around me became my friends. I developed true friendships that only come through sharing experiences. And as for the bugs… I discovered bug spray!”

    ~ Sam Simson
