I think one of the great things about Quinipet was that even as someone who is not a member of the Methodist church, I was made to feel comfortable and saw that same comfort in the campers. |
Quinipet is a community where no one is singled out. Everybody is welcomed into |
I made friends for life, amazing experiences and memories that will stay with me forever. My fantastic campers always put a smile on my face and made my summer incredible. |
