A letter from a parent after Camp Weekaneatit:
"My daughter was at camp with you this summer. I can't tell you how much fun she had. She was diagnosed with celiac when she was just 2, so she has never known a world where she could just relax and be like everybody else. Camp gave her so much freedom, and she grew so much in just one week. Today is her birthday and her first day of school. Her camp friends have already texted to wish her happy birthday!
