I have been coming to Camp Watakamini for as long as I can remember and will forever cherish it. Now, I'm a volunteer Leader, which has a profound impact on me, but I'm able to make an impact on the kids as well. Being someone the kids look up to is an amazing feeling, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

I’ve stopped for produce with my granddaughter, she had fun carrying the food she picked up. The staff was super friendly to us. Thank you. These services are a blessing to many families.

The 5-2-8 program has helped me build great friendships, allowing us to open up and be comfortable talking to people.

I love Camp Watakamini because I get to hike the Pumphouse Trail with my family and friends. I love it so much and can’t wait to do it again!

I've been involved with MVYATA for 50 years. The organization has had a profound impact on my life. I made sure to involve my children and now my grandchildren. I am an active member of the Board of Directors to ensure the opportunities continue. MVYATA has truly been life-changing.

I’ve been going to Camp Watakamini since I was 10 years old. Now at 19, I love volunteering my time because every year you can rekindle memories you never thought you would experience again.
