“My daughter LOVED her experience at Camp Construction! Of the 4 summer camps she attended at various Omaha facilities the Durham camp was by far her favorite! She loved the engaging and educational activities and the interaction with companies outside the Durham were wonderful. Each day she would be sad when I picked her up because she had so much fun. Often she would say “this had to be the last day because we did so many amazing things today I just don’t think it could get much better!” You have made us lifelong Durham supporters!” – Camp Parent |
“She loved the camp counselors and all the fun activities about the wizarding world! Such a great camp and we can’t wait for next year!” – Camp Parent |
