What families say

“My boy with boundless energy came home happy and exhausted at the end of each day. The counselors are fantastic! Each day when I arrived at pick-up, he’d be having a blast playing soccer, or having a water fight, or playing a game with one of the counselors.” — -Kathy

“Our son Ben has been a camper at Run for Fun multiple times. He loves it! Run for Fun is up there with chocolate and ice cream as a “bribe” for Ben–promise him Run for Fun and he’ll more or less do anything. Dave and his crew are responsible, dedicated, and enthusiastic about giving campers an outdoor experience that parents can be jealous of!” — Jonathan and Linor L.
