"I was very pleased with my son’s experience at Camp O-AT-KA. I was a bit apprehensive since he had not been away from home before for such a long time. But he enjoyed camp so much, and is looking forward so much to returning next summer, he said, “Mom. Look! I’ve got my whole schedule planned with all the activities I want to do next year,” adding, “Why didn’t you tell me to take woodworking last summer? I found out from other kids that it was really neat!”
