Camping

41 volunteer families of, Creciendo Unidos, went to accompany the final training of volunteers that started in, July of 2010. Our objectives were to unite, spend quality time, and promote leadership, individually and within family, to keep projecting it into our community.

On Friday, volunteer members of Creciendo Unidos and board Directors prepared the installations of the camping grounds. On Saturday morning, we received the volunteers, some helping families get situated, while others prepared food.

Saturday and Sunday were activity days for all ages, organized and conducted by Youth and Adult volunteers. We had an incredible talent show; there was a great amount of creativity from families, children stood out with their presentations.

Everyone mentioned having a splendid time, and expressed wanting to stay for a longer period.

“I enjoyed it very much, thank you. First of all, I want to say that it's been awhile since I've spent a day so complete with my family, it was incredible. I got to communicate with my daughter. This camp helped me understand that I have to give my daughter more attention,, and listen to her when she need to talk.”                                                                                                                                                                -Family Father.

“I loved it, it was a beautiful experience, I loved the teamwork! It was organized and overall, they made me feel like family, being that we don't usually do these kinds of activities.” Another said, “I took great pleasure in it, it was my much needed vacation that I haven't had in so long.

“It was an experience, being able to share with everyone, the different activities together and being outside of our routine lives. I enjoyed camp, it was the best weekend I've had. My family was ecstatic; we were able to share our emotions, enjoy the outdoors, sleep in a tent, and to see my children so happy was a one of a kind. Thank you Creciendo Unidos!”
