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 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!

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

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.

All my three children had the opportunity to go to Day Camp. The staff were kind and helpful, and my kids were safe. My kids still talk about camp and all the fun songs and crafts they got to do — they can’t wait to go back this coming summer!
