I came to your session on managing complex conflict in the camp setting and I absolutely loved it. The information you shared was so helpful.  My background is in recreational therapy - I knew some of what you shared, but didn't know how to explain it to my staff.  Now I do!

Thank you again for all of your work with us and the support you've offered to our staff - it's incredible to reflect on the  impacts you've had on our staff and campers this summer. I don't think we would have had such positive outcomes without your training. HUGE thank you for the life changing work that you do!
