"When our son attends SumFun Camp, he is engaged, active, and able to socialize during the long summer break. We appreciate the competent, caring staff that are flexible and understanding. Our son has a blast! We plan our summer calendar around SumFun and don't know what we would do without it!" - SumFun Parent
