Testimonials
Brenda, a parent of a current camper stated, “No Limits
Summer Camp does so much for my son. It gives him
socialization over the summer he wouldn’t otherwise
have, the opportunity to make new friends and work on
his social skills and calming techniques. This camp has
taught him how to swim, build his self-esteem, self-
confidence and even more importantly, learn how to
handle stressful situations out in the community with large
groups of people. There aren’t enough words to describe
the incredible work this camp does and we would be lost
without it.”
