Parent Feedback from Camp Pikati's 2023 Season:

"The boys final week of camp was last week so that’s a wrap for us this summer. I just want to say Thank You!! For all the hard work, the long hot hours in the sun, and for the seamless experience that I know requires a lot of effort behind the scenes. The boys had a wonderful summer and it was aways pleasant seeing your smiling faces every day. "

"I really can't express how grateful we are to Camp Pikati for making this summer a positive experience for our non-neurotypical kids. Camps we've attended in the past have ranged from "meh" to absolutely disastrous. Staff at Pikati are cool, attentive, thoughtful, loving, and firm. We feel so fortunate."
