Take it from a camper...

“I thought it was very

well organized and

run. Our girls had

a ball.”

- J.D.

“I did camp-in during

the 80’s. I came from

a troubled home so

it was a chance to

be a normal kid for

a few hours. I also

very much enjoyed

the things we did and

learned, I have taken

my own children to

COSI over the years.

I would definitely do

it all over again, my

own children would

like it as well. “

- T.P.F, Former Camp-In camper
