    "My kids had a fabulous time. This was their first time away from home and I am so thankful for the care you took of them. The toll was harder for mommy than them. They had so much fun and didnt want to leave. The spiritual impact was huge ... Thank you so much for helping them grow closer in their walk with the Lord."
