Why support Ney? We will let our community tell you.
“This was our daughter’s first time at camp and she loved it. She has asked us if she can come back again next year. This was a great camp to get her outdoors and meeting new individuals.”
“A great way for kids to spend time outside learning about nature and getting to learn skills they might not otherwise. “
“We always have a great time. Seriously, this place offers some of the best field trips! The activities are so interesting too. Our students are challenged to calculate and come to conclusions.”
“(Camper) started talking about going to camp again next year as soon as we drove away Friday morning. Despite (Camper’s) hesitation toward the whole experience he had a good time and said that zip lining was his favorite activity. Thank you for putting this camp on, we always have a great time at Ney!”
