Attending the YES Camp as a teenager was one of the single most important events in my life.

The Youth Excellence Society is doing some of the most necessary work needed in this world, and I will forever be grateful I was able to take part.

My daughter was so nervous and a little apprehensive at drop off but When we came to pick her up, she was in tears because she didn’t want to leave the amazing friends she made!

The YES changed my life at 14 years old, and I cannot recommend its programming enough for any teenager looking to know themselves better, meet friends or try new things this summer! Take the risk! Its worth it!
