The impact of camp and demonstration of the personal growth and enrichment that occurs is best conveyed through the words of a participant in our program. The following review was written about Camp Odayin on www.greatnonprofits.org by a sixteen year old camper. She shared, “I love going to camp. I look forward to it all year, starting right when I get on the plane to go home. Everyone tries to talk all year but nothing is the same as that first second you see all your friends again after 365 days. It's amazing to be around kids that know exactly what you went through and exactly how you felt; it's a lot easier than constantly having to explain every detail. I've been going to camp for six years now… I'll never forget my camp days and all the amazing people I’ve met.”

We are really excited to have just completed a year long process of redeveloping our strategic framework. Our next steps are to redo our strategic plan in alignment with our new framework. Some of the goals we've already talked about are laying groundwork for expansion into other cities, reviewing our current camp programs and modifying them a bit (i.e. longer day camp days with an overnight?), as well as maintaining our growth trend and increasing our visibility.
