Camper Testimonials
My son came home from Camp Daxko every day smiling from ear to ear. He made new friends, tried archery for the first time, and couldn’t stop talking about water day. The staff made him feel safe and included, and we’ll absolutely be signing up again next summer!
Camp Elevate gave my daughter the space to grow in ways I never imagined. She conquered her fear of heights on the ropes course, made lifelong friends in her cabin, and came back more confident and independent. It was her first overnight camp—and definitely not her last!
As a working parent, Camp Daxko was a lifesaver. I loved knowing my kids were active, learning new things, and surrounded by positive role models all day. They especially loved the weekly themes and talent show. Thank you for making their summer so special!
