  • "Going to Camp Foreword was the best decision I’ve ever made! I think we all really needed this peaceful time to recharge!"

  • "Camp Forward was like taking a cathartic pause on life and being allowed to dedicate every moment that you wanted to being present with friends or with your nose buried in a book. It was such a welcoming community and I truly can't wait to deepen new friendships, while also seeing the group grow!"

  • "This was the most relaxing 36 hours of my year."

  • "Camp Foreword was so much fun! I traveled 6 hours to attend and it was worth every mile!"
