We just wanted to post up an article review that we here at MMKamps recently received from a very happy and safisfied mother of one of our recent students. Hope you enjoy the article:
This summer I sent my 16 year old son away for the first time to boot camp. He has been begging me to let him branch out on his own to try new things- he and some of his closest friends decided that they were interested in attending a boot camp. The other parents and I came together and decided that a little more structure in their lives may be great for them before they started their junior year in high school and football. We found a great camp called MMKamp, aka Mind over Matter Kamps.
One of the MMKamps branches is located close to our home about 50 miles away, so we knew that if he ever needed anything that we would be there to give him what he needed, but when we arrived the first day of camp it was apparent that he wouldn’t be calling needing something for the full 6 weeks. The camp and cottages were amazing. They had them built out like little apartments; each cottage slept about 12 young men comfortably with bunk beds in each of the 3 bed rooms. Each of the bedrooms had joining full bathrooms that were equipped with a shower, toilet, and sink with laminate countertops.
They were very clean and in the center of the rooms there was a central living space with a kitchen connected to the living room. In the kitchen they had recently updated the cooking surfaces and counter tops. The counters were faced with smooth laminate great for cutting vegetables or placing hot pans. Our sons were able to prepare dinner and lunches on their time off from the many activities offered on the compound.
In the morning they were up at 6:30 am and were able to fix a healthy breakfast and meet for class at 7 that was very close to the cottages. In class they were able to pick the activities for the day that range from working out, to skiing on the lake, to arts and crafts. Each of the activities was designed to give the boys productive activities other then video games to fill their summer vacation. They also taught them discipline having to go to bed at a certain time so that they would be able to wake up for the morning activities planned for later in the day.
MMKamp has a number of sessions available ranging from military style boot camp, overweight boot camp, and the one our boys attended a youth encouragement boot camp. Overall the other parents and I were really impressed with the cleanliness and upgraded cottages and activities offered to our young men. Each of the boys came back refreshed, encouraged, active, and eager to start the new school.
We encourage anyone who may have attended our kamps in recent months or years to send us your personal review of the time you spent here with us. Good or bad we want to hear it all! Hope to hear from some more of you soon.
