What Campers Have To Say

teen-horseback-riding-summer-camp

Would give them 10 stars! We loved everything about SMA. We sent our grandson there. This was his first time being away from us for more than 2 nights. From the moment we arrived, he felt so welcomed. The counselors greeted him with enthusiasm and excitement. Thank you to all of the staff at SMA. This has been the best experience for our grandson, and we recommend it everyone!

My 12 year old daughter went to SMA for the first time this summer for two weeks. She had an amazing experience. She got to experience so many new and exciting activities in a supportive and encouraging environment. In an increasingly digital online world we are so thankful for her time at SMA. As soon as we picked her up she was talking about next summer.

Wow! SMA Camp exceeded all expectations and delivered an unforgettable experience for my 14-year-old nephew! (He is a first time camper). From start to finish, it was an absolute thrill for him, and I can't thank the camp enough for providing such an incredible adventure.
