"Camp Ma-He-Tu is very special in my heart. The people at Ma-He-Tu are more than friends, we are a family that live with each other for two weeks or even more. At camp, we help people come out of their comfort zone... I enjoy going to camp every year to see my second family" -15 years old, New York

"I can't even find the words to express how positive their experiences at camp have been, or list the ways these experiences have affected my daughters and my granddaughter.

Thank you! - Mom of staff member, grandmother of 10 year old camper, New York

"Camp has provided such a strength for me over the years and I would not be the nearly 20 year old I am today without the opportunities, experiences, friendships and accomplishments provided to me by the most magical place in the world.

"I love Camp Ma-He-Tu and I am constantly thinking of new and exciting ways to improve the camp experience for both the staff and campers.
