Gratitude for Grants Given

Each year, Daycroft receives many letters of gratitude from campers, students, parents and teachers. Please read some of their heartfelt comments!

“I found that coming to camp has brought out what has been hiding inside me for 14 years. I am more responsible and enjoy life so much more than I ever used to.”
— Camper

“Thank you so much for helping me come here! I am so grateful to have a second year here, and I have never been so excited to come back to a place before. I healed myself twice in two weeks without help, which for me is a great accomplishment. Camp is a wonderful place to be. It’s the only time I can have friends that are Christian Scientists for more than an hour at church. I love camp!”
— Camper

“Thank you so much for giving me a scholarship to help my Dad keep me in this wonderful school. I am learning how to cooperate with others (not one of my strongest points) during group assignments. I have learned that you have to listen to everything that your group is saying, even if it doesn’t sound right. This will undoubtedly help me in the future.”
— Scholarship recipient

“Thank you for donating the money for me to come to camp! I had a great time. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to pay for myself! But it would be nice if you donated for someone else so they could have such a good time as me! And to grow as much as me in Christian Science.”
— Camper

“This isn’t very spiritual, but I really was astounded by the amount of people in Christian Science. It is such a great feeling to know you aren’t alone.”
— Teen with DiscoveryBound

“I am convinced that more learning and growth go on in this one week of camp than the entire rest of the year. We immediately saw an affection and a thoughtfulness in our son upon greeting him. I will do my best to nurture it throughout the year. Your loving gift is so appreciated.”
— Parent of a camper

“My deepest thanks for the opportunity given to our son to attend camp. It was an especially pivotal year for him. He cam back more sensitive, alert, and appreciative of all aspects of his live.”
— Parent of a camper

“Personally and professionally I felt overjoyed and privileged to have been a part of such a powerful gathering. The depth of thought, breadth of academic experience and strength of spiritual vision of the group seemed almost electrifying at times. I think everyone who attended knows that the ‘ripple on’ effect of the inspiration and insights shared will continue to bless from hereon in!”
— Participant in a Daycroft education conference

“Thank you and the Daycoft Foundation for the generous gift to our daughter. I’m really happy and proud to be apart of the Daycroft family. She is having a fantastic year at Principia. It brings tears to my eyes to see her so happy and comfortable there. If you knew her before, you would understand why. Now she’s really become a happy, well rounded young lady. This year she’s decided to really break out of her shell and strive to be the best she can.”
