What Other Camps Are Saying

Danny and the Green Camps Team helped us realize that sustainability goals don’t have to be overwhelming. Both big picture and small scale progress was made from our initial brainstorm, with a realistic plan of action able to be put into place the very next day. Forming a “Green Team” of our own staff who are dedicated to moving us towards a “greener” future was a great way to hear feedback from unique angles around camp. Seeing the pride they take in bettering Pocono Springs is impactful, and we are excited to empower them with opportunities to create change within our camp community.
