“I am so glad my grandmother made me come to this camp. The camp ladies are real. I can't believe everything I learned here. I am so ready to do better and be better. Camp RAE has taught me that my life matters and why. Every girl should come here because I will be here every year forever!
Jasz, 11th Grade Camper
"Before today I hated everything. The camp ladies helped me so much.I feel so good about myself. This is the best camp that I have ever been to because it's real life stuff and they tell it to you straight. And they help you understand the truth. I can't wait to tell my Mom and Aunts all about this weekend. I don't know why they care so much but I'm sure glad they do. See Ya next year.

"I've been coming here since I was in middle school and now I am about to graduate and I am so grateful to had this camp because I don't know if I would have made it. Miss Meaka makes us want to rise above expectations and I am. Nobody expected me to graduate and I am going to college soon. I love this camp I love all the women here I love Miss Meaka. When I come back to camp I will be a junior counselor and I can't wait. All girls should be able to come here and meet everybody here. Thank You Dear Girls Camp! #LiveLifeRAE

“I think all girls should be able to come here. You learn so much about yourrself and about life, plus its so much fun. You get to make friends with girls who you wouldn't even say hi to if you passed them on the street or school. It was good to know all girls have issues. And we learned how to rise above expectations.” :) lol
