“This was the first year for my children to attend Camp Menesetung. They had a fantastic time and were eager to tell us all about it when we picked them up; they've already requested to return next year for "even longer!" As a parent, I felt well-informed of the processes and felt comfortable leaving my child with the staff. Excellent programs -- we'll be back next year!”
