“I was beyond thankful for WCP, without this fantastic program, my children would not have been able to attend summer camp. Communication was excellent, reminders for pick ups/drop offs, paperwork etc., were so appreciated and I’m truly thankful for the entire WCP team!!! and a big shout out to Amanda, who has helped us get organized for camp, and was great at communicating with our family!” ~Camper Parent
