Dear Joel,
I am writing to thank you for the incredible
experience that Justin had at MGTA
last month. Justin started playing
golf last summer, and he did not play
for 8 months until the Spring. However,
he developed an instant love for the
sport, and he wanted to attend a camp
where he could greatly improve. Given
his inexperience with this sport, and
the fact that he did not know anybody
at MGTA, we were not sure what type
of experience he would have. Although
he had attended overnight camp for
many years, he was hesitant upon his
arrival at MGTA when it hit him that
he did not know anyone.
What a surprise we had when we received
our first (and only) letter from him.
The very first line was, "Camp is
great!" Justin thrived at MGTA.
He made many friends, his golf improved
tremendously, his love of the sport is
very clear to us, he loved the extra
activities (whitewater rafting, colour
war, lip sync, etc.), he had great counselours,
etc. It seems like it was a perfect environment
for him. He came home happy, relaxed,
and noticeably more confident!
We want to thank you sincerely. I also
want to thank you for calling me with
the status on Justin's progress; it meant
a lot to me knowing that you were "looking
out" for him, and that you selected
a "big brother" for him, as
I think it helped him tremendously.
Justin has been asking if any of his
cabinmates are enrolled for next summer.
I realize it is still quite early, but
if you have this information, we would
love to know, (and which weeks they are
enrolled for).
Again, thank you, and if parents call
you and ask for a reference, please do
not hesitate to give my name and telephone
number,
joann & sheldon itzkowitz

Dear Maine Golf, Tennis
and Hockey,
Our
son, Walker C. attended camp this past
summer, and he had a great time. It was
his first time at any camp away and we
were pleased with the overall experience.
He loves his golf and came home even
more excited than ever! In fact whenever
we ask what he wants to do – he says- “can
we go play golf?”
We
were also very happy with an adjustment
that had to be made on drop off day;
I had mistakenly put his birth date as
1995 (instead of 1998), upon arrival
he was grouped with other 15 year olds…a
big difference to 10 years: Anyway upon
discovering this – he was moved to an
appropriate cabin—Thank you!
And so the
main reason for my letter – upon unpacking,
I found his Bermuda Flag he had brought
at the camps request… and after seeing
all the flags flying at the entrance,
I thought Bermuda should be there too…and
so it is enclosed.
Thanks for everything!
Sincerely, Ardleigh
Young mother of Walker C. - happy camper.

Dear
Joel and Crista,
You know your child had an amazing time at camp when they
are smiling when you drop them off and full of tears when
the are leaving. Corey truly came home with a deep love of
camp and wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. The
camp is so well run. Everyone was so pleasant on the phone
answering all our questions prior to camp. You were so organized
when we arrived with individual packet for every camper,
the entire staff being on hand to greet and the tour of camp.
We especially appreciated how well done the parent's departure
was handled . I know it saved me a lot of tears. The staff
was absolutely incredible. The golf pros did an amzing job,
the chef was wonderful and the counselors were the finest
I have ever seen. Nigel, Brian and David truly made Corey's
summer. They couldn't have been more attentive, fun and caring.
Megan is unbelievable, as welll as the entire staff. You
certainly know how to run a first rate camp. Everyday offered
a new activity and experience. Please save a spot for Corey
for next summer
Sincerely,
Terri and Jim Pasquarelli (Parents
of a first year camper)
