The feedback we receive from our camp parents is very important to us. It helps us improve our program and continue to meet and exceed the high standards of our camp families. Listed below are some comments taken directly from our post-summer program evaluation forms.
Also, our staff and campers have personally shared their experience with Outpost as part of our 10th anniversary project at My Outpost Story.
Finally, our camp parents have volunteered to serve as referrals for new families interested in our program. Contact us if you would like to speak with one of our camp parents directly.
"Thank you for bringing such a superior summer program to San Diego. Having my daughter in your camp makes me feel better about having to be away from her all day in the summer months. This is an exceptional opportunity for her, and she's having a better time than she would have with me!"
"My son loves everything about OSC. We like the imaginative outdoor adventures and the songs. We've noticed how much his swimming has improved too!"
"I was so thrilled to find your camp - it is exactly what I was looking for in a summer-long program for my daughter. Your camp is more the environment a child deserves to be in, and that parents can feel good about. It has given my child the opportunity to try new activities and learn new skills that she normally would not have attempted."
"I like the transportation. I work out of my home and that was a real convenience. My daughter says she liked earning the badges best. The personal attention from the counselor to camper ratio is also a huge plus. Another great thing was the pictures online. Thanks so much for providing this!"
"My son says there isn't anything he didn't like about camp and that 'they should keep doing it the same exact way they did it!'. Thanks for a great experience for my son."
"Your program is wonderful! I like the fact that you don't bring them to bowling alleys, movies, etc...it is more of a real camp, not child care. It is focused on outdoor-based physical activities and building skills. I love the group-centered environment - my child feels good about herself and her success in the activities and the way any challenges within the group have been overcome."
"This summer camp was EVEN more than I had expected. I knew the girls would have fun, but with one being a little shy, I didn't realize she would come out of her shell so much because of the fun counselors, songs and skits."
"I love the idea they they spend so much time outdoors exploring Mother Nature. They really enjoyed coming home so dirty. I am recommending your camp to everyone!!! My son wanted to immediately sign up for another session, but we went on vacation. My kids' enthusiasm for OSC is overwhelming. Thanks so much!"
"My child loved exploring the Preserve! I think it was the entire experience - being a part of a group, making friends, etc, that made camp special."
"After reading your brochure, I expected a small ratio of counselors to campers and got just that. I expected challenging activities in a supportive environment and got that as well. I wanted my daughter to look forward to each camp day, and she does. She has made many friends, I'm sure due to the environment you foster and the activities in which they participate. It is so different and refreshing from other options available."
"I want to report what an outstanding job your did this summer, and you know, I have two of the most discriminating and discerning camp critics a mother could ask for. After camp, both children are interacting with each other in a more respectful manner...each has obviously learned social and life skills that will go with them a lifetime. Both children are grieving the loss of camp, and are cherishing the memories, not to mention going to the website every few minutes for a picture fix!"
"I can't say enough about how much my son enjoyed the camp. Every day I picked him up he was so excited to tell me everything he did. I was especially impressed with the counselors - even the junior counselors were very mature and responsible. You did a great job picking them!"
