"As a parent and educator, I know what kind of program I want for my
daughter. I want a program that provides a safe and supportive
environment where she always feels welcome and part of the group. A
program where positive behavior is rewarded and positive relationships
develop. A staff that is well trained and gives me
feedback on how my daughter did during the day. David's program
has all these qualities and more. My daughter loved his camp and couldn't
wait to get their each day. He offered fun creative programs and
activities in a safe "cool" environment. Every summer she has
attended David's camp has been enchanting. Just what summer should be. - Sept 13
"David
presents himself in a confident and positive manner. He is dependable,
organized, enjoys what he is doing and is well liked and respected by campers,
parents, his peers and co-workers. David requires little supervision and
has demonstrated that he can work and make decisions on his own. David is
a certified Emergency Medical Technician and has proven himself worthy
of the credential in several medical emergencies. His positive attitude, work
ethic, common sense and his ability to work with, and present himself to, the
public in a helpful, friendly and professional manner are assets to our
department." - February

"I cannot say enough good stuff about David. He has an incredible rapport with the kids. He relates to them and makes them feel comfortable and special. He is totally dedicated to making their summer camp experience extra fun, with lots of interesting activities and projects.

"When it came time for the summer holidays, there was no question which camp the children would attend; knowing that David would be running the programs. I am positive that all parents who knew David would agree that they felt their children were safe with David instructing them. I, as a parent definitely feel completely at ease knowing David and his counselors were supervising my child. My own daughter, now in grade 6, returned back to camp this year, just because David was running it. I can not say enough about him, he is a wonderful, caring and responsible young man." - Sept

Watching David with the camp kids, it is clear that he is one hundred percent dedicated to making their camp experience a safe and rewarding one. Beyond the foregoing, the kids love him!

"This is a letter of support for David Hughes, who has worked with both of my children over the past four years at the camps he has run. I am extremely impressed with David and the way in which he manages both the children and his staff. He is low key, relaxed, and positive and yet is able to set boundaries and be firm when needed. My children love him and area always excited when the know that he will be the director. I feel confident leaving them with him and his staff for the day, knowing they will be safe and have fun." - August 26
"David is an extremely positive, energetic, warm and patient person. As a result, our kids' experience at summer camp was a huge success. They looked forward to going to camp each day. David created an atmosphere at camp both rewarding to the children and to the parents. The kids looked forward to each day with great enthusiasm. Our kids were so excited about LUAU week that I had to reschedule a family trip so that they would not miss any part of that exciting week. The award program was another aspect of camp that the kids enjoyed. Awards were given for "nature awareness", "camp spirit", "friendly camper", "special helper" and others. These awards, announced and handed out in front of the entire camp, created a wonderful way for the children to be recognized in a positive manner. At the same time that the kids were having fun, the parents could feel confident that their children were being cared for under a safe and supportive camp environment. I always felt confident that David never compromised the safety or personal happiness of the campers." - August 24
"The children have spent a wonderful time in a very supportive environment, the camps have resulted to be very positive for them, as they get along very well with David and respect him very much and we, as parents, have deposited all of our confidence on David, knowing that our children are having fun and learning at the same time." - September 7
"We should all hope that our children turn out to be as bright, responsible, dedicated to good causes, and caring as David has proven himself to be. He provided an enriching, fun-filled experience for the children, respecting everyone and helping them to flourish." - September 19
