Feedback from Last Year’s Camp

“My son has always struggled with writing, but after just one week of camp, he came home with three stories he wrote and couldn’t wait to start on his own chapter book this summer. His confidence grew so much!”

“Rosie had a blast at camp, looked forward to camp every single day. Loved her instructor, loved the friends she made. She felt very safe and loved at camp as well. The tips back we got helped us know how to help her read and make it fun! Thank you so so much”

“Beyond the Beach helped my son produce an awesome book that I don’t think he would have been willing or able to attempt without that support and guidance. Seeing the final product was amazing!”
