What families say

“With the guidance, support, and love that was so very evident, we watched our son show a side of himself that we did not know he was capable of expressing. Camp SAY will benefit his self-esteem and growth for years to come.” — Camp SAY Parent

“Camp SAY allows young people to experience a very accepting and supportive environment. I was impressed with everything from the campers to the counselors to the beautiful country setting.” — Edward G. Conture Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BRS-FD, Professor Emeritus, Vanderbilt University

“This is the most powerful tool I’ve seen in 34 years for people who stutter.” — Dr. Phillip Schneider, Speech Therapist
