I would like to thank Jeff and other coaches for running a survival camp for kids in July 2025. It was an incredible experience for my son. He returned from this camp with a sense of accomplishment and inner knowing that he can survive physical and mental challenges. As a parent, I enjoyed having deeper conversations with my son about friendship, teamwork, self-drive, and perseverance. He told me that no kid has given up despite having an opportunity to ring a bell if it was too difficult. No more complaints about sleeping on his 'hard' mattress (sleeping on "pinecones" noted) or being too picky with home food (remembers eating the best smoky sausages that kids had to cook without any adult assistance). He is looking forward for the next opportunity to train with MLK staff!
