Comments from 2017 Camp
Camp Rigolo is lots of fun. Each day, the campers do something new and exciting. It's fun to play games, get soaked in water, and speak French. Overall, a good time." Zane - counselor
Camp Rigolo is the perfect opportunity for the kids to connect with their friends and practice their French mid-summer. I love that they get to hang out with the high school "Frenchies", what a great group of role models! -Larisa, mom I liked being group #1 because they got to always go first! - Tatum, camper" |
I love the tie dye, the field trip, the counselors, and the activities. Camp was awesome! - Adelaide, camper
"Camp Rigolo is a parent’s dream. Every day at pickup my 5-year-old didn’t want to leave, and wanted to show me and tell me all the awesome stuff they’d done all day. And she didn’t stop talking until bedtime! For me, Camp Rigolo gave me so much peace of mind - at dropoff the counselors were happy to see my child, and knew her name. I could tell that she was genuinely cared for in addition to all the fun!" — Laura, mom |
I loved the field trip, the counselors, the art projects, and I loved meeting up with old friends and making new friends. - Linnea, camperMy favorite thing about camp was playing with the counselors and getting piggyback rides! -Nikolai, camper
I love sending my kids to Camp Rigolo, not only do they have a ton of fun and come home smiling, it is a great opportunity between school years to be immersed in the French language. - Shannon, mom |
