What Parents are Saying about Banner Day Camp

It’s easy for us to understand the significant value that Banner has for our campers. We see, firsthand, the physical and social skills that develop all summer long. Our leadership and staff are intentional about providing opportunities for growth through well planned programs and activities. Each day is a new opportunity to make friends, build skills, spend time in nature, and disconnect from technology.

Banner parents see it, too! Hear what they have to say about the benefits of a summer at camp for their children.

1. This summer, our camper embraced new challenges (like the zipline with the rope instead of the seat and bungee), formed meaningful friendships (we’ve had so many playdates!), and took pride in her achievements (passing swim levels). Banner is truly magical, where every child is seen, valued, and encouraged to be their best self. It’s rare to find such a committed and compassionate team that goes above and beyond to make every child feel special. I’m continually amazed by Banner’s dedication to excellence, creativity in programming, and unwavering support.
2. Of course, I have always known how incredibly special Banner is. To this day, I credit so much of who I am to the foundation Banner helped me build. But seeing Banner through his eyes this summer has further reinforced my love, admiration and gratitude toward Banner to a level I didn’t know was possible.Every single one of our expectations for this summer has been exceeded 10x over. His confidence has grown tremendously along with his understanding of friendship and sportsmanship. He even told our neighbors that he is a change maker! The past 2 months, I have seen him really grasp what it means to believe in himself and I truly don’t have words to express how grateful I am to you and the entire Banner family.
3. We just wanted to write and say how transformative this summer has been for our daughter and how instrumental the Banner staff has been. They have helped her gain confidence and resilience in herself and to make friends and we thank you ALL for the support.  We never could have imagined that she could BLOOM and SHINE like this, and we can’t wait to see what the next two weeks bring.
4. It’s the 4 day count down until our summer, at the best camp on earth, comes to a close. I tell you often that I truly will never be able to thank your camp for changing the lives of our children for the absolute best. They come home every day more confident, more resilient, more proud and more happy than the day before. The values you instill in these kids are what we, as their parents, strive to watch them achieve.
