"I learned to open my heart to others. I learned how much I love my family. I used to be a trouble maker, but now all that has changed. I am calmer now. Pyles camp has taught me if a good opportunity is given to you, take it and never let it go"
"I learned that if you show respect you will get respect. But best of all, camp taught me we can achieve our goals in life"
"I learned that not everything can be done on your own. You need someone to help you and sometimes guide you along the way"
"As a camper and counselor, Pyles help mold and shape my future so that the man I am today reflects the dedication and creative positive energy I received at camp. I am retired and spend some time reflecting on my past. What a joy it is to have this camp experience in my life"
A well deserving boy is given an opportunity to have the experience of a lifetime. The campers are placed in a group with 6 to 7 other boys. The fun begins the first day they arrive in camp. The camp has a time tested structured schedule of activities, which include things such as Horseback Riding, a low and high Ropes Course, Archery, Nature, Crafts and many more. Each activity also has a life lesson associated with it. .
The group will also take a backpacking trip into the Golden Trout Wilderness. The boys will spend a few nights under the stars, learning teamwork, goal setting and many other invaluable lessons which can be applied in their everyday lives. The group returns to the main camp and the boys will already begin to use their new found skills and the respect for others.
