nTestimonials

"Just wanted to say thank you to you and all the staff of Camp Dror. Our daughter arrived home today with a smile from ear to ear and full of tales of wonderful experiences. Thanks for another wonderful summer."

"To the entire amazing Camp Dror staff:

Thank you so much for providing our daughter with such a great experience this summer! She couldn't stop talking all day about everything she did at camp, all the great girls she met, and how much fun she had! She had so many great things to say, and we are so happy we decided to send her to Camp Dror! Looking forward to next year already!!!

Thanks!! "

"Dear Camp Dror Staff,

Our daughter had left home with lots of second thoughts and a huge amount of anxiety. Not only at the thought of being away from home for an extended period of time, but particularly because she didn’t know any of the girls that would be there, and at such a young age it can be a truly daunting experience. Thanks to your wonderful staff and girls at the camp, she had an absolutely phenomenal time and made great new friends. I know that she’ll always reflect back at this past summer with fantastic memories!

Kol Hakavod and thank you for investing the time and energy in putting together a well-organized program across the board, from the facilities and supervision to the food and fun activities. "

"Thanks! Our son had a great time! You can put him down for next year and knowing him he will bring some friends!"
