He looks forward to it and he wants to go back. As his parents we feel strongly that they beliefs promoted at Kamp Kessa reinforce the values we work with him on. He has the opportunity to express himself in a setting without parents and can be open. Because Justin has had a terrible background he has a lot of catching up to do and a lot of extra baggage. Kamp Kessa has made a difference. - Mary Anna Welch about Justin</div> <bR> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Shawnda loved it and had a great time! - Marilyn Raikes</div> <div> <IMG BORDER="0" SRC="Symb075c00b700f000000000.png" HEIGHT="16" WIDTH="24" ALIGN="bottom" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">It has done wonders for her.

It has made my son know he can accomplish his goals. And (he) has even set higher goals for himself.
