Sharing the EXCITEMENT about Camp!
“The Trufants are providing a wonderful service to families by offering summer camping opportunities to their children. Each year they establish an outstanding summer staff who assist in the development of the young people intellectually, socially, and spiritually. One of our sons was a staff member. He confirmed the excellence of this summer camp from a counselor’s perspective as well as the campers’ perspective from those he assisted. We would recommend the camp very highly.”

“I can always rely on my memories of camp to provide direction in times of uncertainty or composure in the face of chaos. I have made it through 4 years of medical school, an internship, a residency, begun fatherhood, and continue to be the best husband I can. I believe a large part of who I am developed from camp experiences. I thank you and Anne for allowing me the opportunity to serve as a counselor.”

“With each letter and phone call my daughter’s spiritual growth and increased self-confidence has been heart-warmingly apparent. Camp Kahdalea gives my girls the emotional strength and sense of responsibility that I pray for them to know…You have created a camp life that reinforces all that makes a healthy foundation for future life choices. And as my daughters face the challenges ahead I have no doubt that they will often reflect upon their camp experiences to make smart decision. I sincerely thank you for the depth of love and Christianity that is Camp Kahdalea..”

“I overheard the following declaration by my daughter while driving her and her friends last week: “All I know is I want to go to college in North Carolina. I don’t know if it’s the weather or what. But I just feel so good about myself when I’m there.” I’m sure the weather is part of it. But I’m also sure of the “or what”. Thank you so much for creating a place for my child to feel good about herself.”

“Every summer when we pick up our son he has grown and expanded as a person and for that we are very grateful. It also reinforces the concept of camp and especially the wilderness aspects of Chosatonga. From the comradeship to the physical challenges Chosatonga has provided our son with experiences that will last a lifetime.”

“Our son came home changed because of the wonderful counselors he was around and the positive experience of being at a Christian camp. We got many wonderful and insightful letters to us during the summer from his counselors. We are so pleased that you choose your counselors with discretion. Our son was greatly influenced by them and the goals they were setting for their lives. Our son came home with a better attitude and more grownup.”

“I want to thank you for such an awesome summer. It truly was the best of my life. I learned so much – about myself, other people, the Lord. Not to mention all of the outdoor skills. One of the big things I learned about myself this summer is that I can do anything I want to.”

“[My daughter’s] experience at Kahdalea has profoundly effected her. She has grown from the friendships she developed. She has continued to examine her values and direction and is working to strengthen her faith in God.”

“These camps had, and continue to have, a lasting impact on me. Aside from the cliffs, the rocks, the lengthy hikes into the forests, the whitewater, and the awesomeness of God’s creation, there were a couple of men who really influenced me and “set the example.”
