"I spent the first two days of camp in awe of the community and space created by the Skate Like a Girl team and campers. A lot of orgs like to boast non-hierarchical leadership and listening to feedback, but this is the first time I truly Felt like every single person had a voice at all times. Everyone was accepted and included, regardless of skill level or identity. You know how, in high school, it felt like there was never a place to sit at lunch? This is the opposite of that. There’s always a seat at the table - and you are valued, respected, and loved." |
My daughter had such a positive experience with every single staffer at youth week--they truly worked tirelessly to shower all of the kiddos with love and attention. I could feel it at pick up at the end of the week--every camper was happy and walked around like they owned the place. My daughter was anxious before camp, but she clearly felt safe enough to open up and be her true self, ultimately being voted "Most Radical Camper" by her peers. The confidence shift is almost even more exciting than the skateboarding progress, and I know that is the direct result of a lot of hard work on the staff's part. Thank you, thank you, thank you! |
