"I went to Good Times Summer Day Camp from when I was 4 years old until I was 14. If there is one way I could describe this camp it would be family. I have never felt such a connection to others more than I have at this camp. I met some of my best friends there and people to this day I consider my family.

"This is our grandson's second glorious summer at Good Times, and we only wish he had been able to be a camper for ALL of his summers prior! There is a palpable sense of excited anticipation of a fun-filled day when we drop him off. There is peace of mind all during the day, knowing that his needs for attention, affirmation, friendship, engaged activity, and security are all being met by the kind and capable counselors and staff! There isn't a day when he hasn't been thrilled to be at camp ~ including rainy days! When we pick him up in the late afternoon, he has no shortage of memorable events"
