“It’s kind of cool that there was a scholarship fund for kids like me that don’t come from a rich family. This camp should be taught to kids that don’t do well in school or want to go to college. I think Supercamp could help school drop out problems. Thanks to you, I have a new way of thinking! You give kids like me hope for the future, and confidence that I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!“
