As a first-time Corps parent, I want to express my utmost gratitude and respect to all of the staff and volunteers for taking care of my daughter and providing such a great experience for her. She's grown up in so many aspects and we love this extended family! We hope to be able to join you on tour next year to give back for all you've given us this year!!! THANK YOU!
