You just put the Happy in "Happy Camper"

This is what Sherron has to say about Dragonfly Forest and her daughter:

"Camp Dragonfly is an extremely important piece of our lives. Dragonfly has become a part of our team in regards to being yet another great resource that helps with my daughter's Autism diagnosis. She has been going for 3 years now and she actually learns so many new skills, independence and MOST importantly, gets to hang out with other girls on the Autism spectrum, as she is and has been the only girl in her public school class since she began 5 years ago. She really enjoys and looks forward to seeing her friends each year.. Its is also great to have a place to send "special" children and not have to worry about them as the entire staff is trained, friendly and as trustworthy.. I cannot say enough about camp Dragonfly. We look forward to camp each year and my daughter literally talks about going back from the time we pick her up on the last day, until the next year when it's time to return!" -Sherron F.

THANK YOU for helping us make Sherron and her daughter happy.  We are honored to serve so many amazing families like Sherron's!  

As of March 1st we have:

Enrolled 70% of our 2016 campers

Raised 65% of our fundraising goal

Hired 80% of our staff

Made the best list of necessary supplies including 100+ cans of whipped cream, new giant tarp for our new slip-n-slide, and a set of wetsuits so our campers with sickle cell disease can enjoy the lake! 

You, our donors, are a hugely important part of our camp family.  Stop by and see us this summer if you can!
