Parent Testimonials
One of the real blessings of organizing dance camps around the country for so long is that people send us stories. Amazing stories. Inspiring stories that warm our hearts. From Russia to Guam, ADTC alumni can be found in over 50 countries around the world. At first glance their dance camp testimonials are about ADTC, but if you pay closer attention, they're actually about so much more.
- They're about safety, friendship & self-growth.
- They're about taking risks and being brave.
- They're about DOING what you LOVE (and loving who you are).
Adjectives most often used by parents to describe their daughter's ADTC experience?
A great camp!
"My daughter had a wonderful experience at camp. She was able to dance her heart out, while still being able to participate in activities that you would see in a traditional sleep away camp. The counselors were encouraging and made challenging, beautiful routines. Definitely a great camp!"
~ Christopher M., Illinois
EIGHT years!
"My daughter has been attending ADTC in Vermont for EIGHT years. I can't believe it's been so long! She refers to ADTC as her 'second home.' The teachers make the girls feel like they really belong, regardless of level. And I'm always amazed at how much progress my daughter makes in a couple weeks considering this is a non-competitive program and she dances competitively during the year."
~ Heather G., Massachusetts
Wonderful.
"Wonderful experience from signup through check-out. ADTC was my 10 year old daughter's first experience with a sleep away camp. I cannot say enough positive things about this wonderful adventure my daughter had. She loved every minute of it. The counselors were amazing! She cannot wait until next year! I was so impressed at the Friday night show. The girls performed the amazing choreography beautifully."
~ Wendy H., Maryland
The Best!
"Our daughter attended camp in Lake Tahoe for 1 week last summer. This summer she is attending for 2 weeks because she loved it so much! She made loveley friends at camp and continues to correspond with many of them. She really enjoyed the dance classes and felt challenged. She also really enjoyed the excursions/field trips during which she went kayaking, zip-lining, and to the beach. This camp experience is the best!"
~ Katy D., California
