"Before I set out for Camp Emerson I didn't really know what to expect but It's one of those places that I wished I had experienced as a child and a place I feel privileged to have been part of. The energy of the entire camp, and inclusiveness from the kids to the other counselors is second to none. {Camp Emerson is} a place so full of energy it's impossible not to get involved in the entire atmosphere.” – Ivan (Art).

Pursue your passion and share it with great kids!
