"My daughter has learned how to go to camp without knowing anyone and make great friends during that week. She went to Skylark with a friend the first two years (horseback riding) and for the last three years has gone on her own and LOVED it. In the beginning she was very nervous about not knowing anyone. Now she welcomes the opportunity to meet new people and establish new friendships."
- Skylark Ranch parent, 2010
