C.A.M.P. is an excellent way to make a difference in a young person's life! I have enjoyed spending time with my mentee and bringing him to places he has never been before in his own hometown! It is so rewarding to see his confidence grow and I know that he is striving to accomplish more in life because he knows that someone believes in him!

I feel like I receive more than I give. It's a joy to see my little guy get excited when he's introduced to new experiences and to hear what is important to him. I hope that I making a small impact on him and that one day he will "pay it forward."
