A mom’s story
Jessica - January 2019
My son Jacob has had the privilege to attend Crane Lake Discovery Camp for two full summers now. Jacob began camp with goals to improve himself and goals that all boys have at this age. Catch a fish, some spiders and snakes, learn the fundamentals of survival and enjoy the out doors.
Jacob started the summer with a lot of self doubt and very low self esteem. He was having difficulties in school with his peers and teachers, seeking negative attention with poor choices in behaviour.
The support from all of the counsellors at Crane Lake Discovery Camp is absolutely phenomenal. Jacob came home the first summer as a changed boy, his attitude, outlook on life, his whole demeanour had changed for the better. The counsellors helped Jacob to communicate his thoughts and ideas with confidence. They helped him reach his goals, and made him feel like he mattered.
Jacob enjoyed being part of a group and making new friends, he felt important when given opportunities to be a leader. He also liked the schedule, routine and responsibilities.
Jacob and I are forever grateful for the opportunity that all of the team at Crane Lake Discovery Camp has given us. Jacob is on the right path to becoming a strong, successful and caring young man.
