Merri-Mac
for Girls and Timberlake for Boys
excerpts
from our parent thank-you
letters.
Merri-Mac for Girls and Timberlake for Boys are kids summer camps in the North Carolina mountains. Each is a separate girls and boys camp. We have a long history of happy campers and would love to share with you our own perspectives about choosing a kids summer camp.
A
Kids
Summer Camp
can be a wonderful growing
experience for your child. Here are some of the quotes from thank you
letters we have received from our parents:
"It
would warm your heart to hear [our daughter], seemingly out of the blue,
come up with a story or incident that happened at camp last summer, and
talk about coming back this summer ... I feel confident that they will
be well cared for and have a great time, probably even better than before
because she is an 'experienced' camper now." -K.M.
in Durham, NC
"[My
son] was a first time camper at Timberlake this summer and he absolutely
loved the camp. He's been looking forward to going back from the minute
he stepped on the plane home ... it seems he has found his niche."
-C.G. in Memphis,
TN
"The
young men on your staff are certainly chosen with care ... We feel the
boys came away with so much more than just a camp experience." -P.C.
in Baton Rouge, LA
"Too
often in this busy world, we only hear from people when they have complaints
... I thought I would take a minute to say thank you for a job well done.
My daughter had never been away to camp before ... It was very much her
idea to go ... It suffices that [our daughter] loved Merri-Mac and wants
to go for a month next year. Since returning home, she has shown evidence
that camp was not only fun, but a positive personal growth experience
as well ...she is brimming with self-confidence, an enhanced spirit of
cooperation and a can-do attitude." -H.S.
in Jupiter, FL
"I
love my riding lessons and I'm improving everyday. I would like to thank
you, Spencer, because without your encouragement and notice in my riding
I would never have found my love of horses and riding" -C.
"He
has been trying out the wrestling holds he learned on his younger brother
just about every day now! While we were still in the car driving home,
he raved about the climbing experiences ... He was just so proud of himself!"
-M.T.
in Tennessee
"I
have always considered Merri-Mac a second home. I have done a great deal
of growing up there and it has contributed to making me a strong, confident
person. Although the six previous years have been special to me, something
about this summer touched a part of my heart I never new existed ... The
unity and trust that was established among the counselors and support
staff can't be described." -T.H.
in Dallas, TX
"[our
son] has attended several sleepaway camps over the years and Timberlake
has set the standard for him and for us as well. We have all come to feel
much affection and trust for Camp Timberlake and it is a very special
place to us. Many thanks to all the fine individuals ... who provide such
a wonderful time for the campers." -R.B. in Decatur, GA
"I
just have to say thank you so much for [our daughter's] wonderful experience
at camp this summer. When we met her at the airport, she cried, not because
she was glad to see us, but because of all the friends and good times
she had to leave behind at camp!" -J.S.
"Timberlake
is like a big family and the kids can truly feel it. As parents, we can
feel it when we drive up to camp. The love everyone has for one another
is so apparent and it is truly a special place." -A.M. in
Asheboro, NC
"My
son went to Camp Timberlake. He was scared, easily led, insecure, and
had very low self-esteem. He never returned. Instead, in his place, a
confident young man came home; one who stood a little straighter, spoke
with more assurance, held his chin up higher, and was well on his way
to becoming a leader. His eyes contained a sparkle they'd never had and
his heart had been touched so so deeply that kindness and empathy were
uncovered and revived." -L.O. in Cary, NC
"In
short, I believe Merri-Mac may well be the most positive, reinforcing,
and emotionally educational experience in [my daughter's] life ... I thank
you and Merri-Mac for the assistance you provide me in trying to raise
a happy, healthy, secure and independent young person." -H.S.
in Chattanooga, TN
"Interestingly
enough, each boy receives something different, something they need. Thus,
I bring home two different young men, and this difference is a warm and
wonderful magic ... I always give [our sons] the option of going to camp;
I encourage them to do whatever they choose with their summer ... They
look at me as if I have two heads - 'Of course, we're going back next
summer!' ... as if any suggestion to the contrary would be ridiculous."
-D.B. in Huntsville, AL
"Your
counselors were excellent and [our son] enjoyed every minute of it."
-F.P. in Portafaix Paris, France
