What families say

“Experience was so meaningful as I connected with all my campers. My relationship with Camp Harmony campers has motivated me to continue to give back.” — Adam Jaysen, Camp Harmony Counselor

“When we would come back to school from Winter Break my friends had gone to faraway places and I felt like for once I fit in because I had gone on vacation as well. I have returned back to the place that taught me that there are people out there in the world rooting for me.” — Jasmine Martinez, Former Camper turned volunteer Counselor

“United in Harmony taught me that happiness is inside you and with the people you love the most. It has also shown many children that there is a world where you can be you the real you!” — Rosemary Rodriguez, Former Camper turned volunteer Counselor
