Families are saying great things about Activ8!

“My teenager had an amazing and positive

experience that boosted her abilities and

self-confidence through the roof! I would

recommend this camp to any parent! We are

already planning on her attending again

next year.”

–Angela Chavez

“I loved the knowledge and experience of

the teachers, the fact that my girls looked

forward to going back to camp every day,

and the quality of the aides that assist at

lunch, with sign in/out, etc. Everyone working

with Activ8 was very nice and professional–

yet fun too!”

–Angie Chapman
