The best way to understand our program’s impact is through the families who have experienced it firsthand. Read what 1199SEIU members shared about their children’s time in the Anne Shore Sleep-Away Camp Program.
“This is such an excellent program, but I don’t think enough members are aware of the advantages it offers. As a thank-you, I will do my best to spread the word and encourage my fellow 1199ers to participate in the program.”
“My daughter waits all year for the possibility to be accepted into this program, and it has helped her socially and emotionally. This is her best part of summer.”
“This motivates my daughter to do well in school all year. She knows that if she does not do well, she will have to go to summer school and she will miss out on camp.”
“My daughter had the time of her life at camp. She thoroughly enjoyed herself. She had a tough year at school, and this camp experience was the reset she needed.”
“[My son] experienced firsthand how to adjust to different personalities and situations, making him even more well-rounded. He also learned how to create games on a computer.”
“I would like to thank the 1199SEIU [Child Care Corporation] for instituting this program. A sleep-away summer experience is invaluable for child development and an enjoyable, invigorating experience that cannot be captured in a regular school year. Thank you!”
