Why Do Kids Like Kids on Campus?
I got to try a lot of new camps that
“taught
me some great life skills, like
sewing. The teacher taught me a skill
that I will always have, how to sew
my own buttons on my clothes. It felt
good. Duct Tape Art was the best! The
teacher encouraged me to be creative
and she helped me explore new
designs. I made jewelry that I am still
wearing today. I also made new friends
that I am looking forward to seeing
again. Kids on Campus is the best!
