A Parent’s Heartfelt Reflection on Her Experience:
Camp Pringle has been a formative part of my family’s life for over 20 years. I first became involved when my children were young, volunteering each summer as a Camp Mom and supporting campers and staff in many ways — from helping anxious children feel safe, to assisting program leaders, serving meals, and contributing to the overall life of the camp.
As my children grew, they progressed through Camp Pringle’s leadership pathway as campers, Crew members, Counsellors-in-Training, and eventually full staff. Through this experience, they were mentored by strong, compassionate youth leaders who modeled empathy, responsibility, and service.
Today, my son works as a house parent at a local school and is pursuing a career in teaching. Over the years, I have witnessed many young people develop at Camp Pringle and go on to become ethical, caring leaders and active contributors to their communities. Camp Pringle’s long-term impact is evident in the number of alumni who continue to work with children and youth, carrying forward the values and skills they gained at camp.
