My experience with Midaynta Summer Camp is good. The Staff are really nice and they co-operate with the campers. They have helped us in a really good way, They always know what to do to make sure we have fun.
The Midaynta Camp has been a good experience. I have learned new skills, such as team building and leadership skills. We have gone to different places, such as, High Park, sunny side and swimming.
I’m fortunate to have been part of the growth of a courageous team that dares to openly discuss within an entire community. I am very impressed by the Midaynta team, the personal commitment of each member. Thank you sincerely for the excellent work.
