There is one thing that is even more important to us than making the parents happy, and that is making the children happy.  Every child is given an anonymous questionairre at the end of the camp with all sorts of things to comment on.  The first question is "Overall, what did you think of the camp?"

So here are their responses to this question for our very first year of camps - we have included every one that was returned, and they are reproduced below unedited.
