  Read what some of our past campers, parents, teachers and community members had to say about Winners' Camp: |
"At Winners' Camp all activities have an emphasis on trust, integrity and commitment. Those experiences set a new standard for me to live at an age when those concepts can be out of reach. Those standards remain today. Adolescence was not easy and I am not perfect, but Winners' Camp offered my family and I a keahou, a new beginning. The beginning that brought me to live out the first commitment I made at camp, back in 1992, to give back to the community that raised me." - Darcie Yukimura 
"When I went to Winners' Camp, I was having great difficulty adjusting to the changes going on in my life. Winners' Camp gave me the tools I needed to adjust and thrive in my new environment. When I got to Winners' Camp, I was really impressed by the amazing feeling I got the moment I walked in. I remember getting to Winners' Camp and being practically bowled over by the aloha of the staff." - Drew Humberd "Dear Delorese; Wow! If someone asked me to describe you, I would say you were the Oprah Winfrey of Hawai'i. Your presentation was so powerful! You really set the tone for the rest of the day. The students were very hyped up and attentive throughout the conference. I regret not having you stay longer. The students wanted you to stay longer too. I think they would have listened to you all day...thank you so much for your very motivational talk. Everyone loved it and everyone loves you!...You definitely are a winner in their eyes!" - Cornelia Anguay "Winners' Camp...had such a positive impact on Lindsay that I had to write to you and thank you again for the commitment you have made to teenagers. This program was so profound for Lindsay that she has totally changed the way she communicates with me and her friends. She was always a super kid, but now she is so clear about who she is and what she values. I can already see a big difference in the choices she makes about what she does in her spare time. She thinks and acts so responsibly now!...Winners' Camp for Teens is the best gift parents could possibly give their teen...and themselves. It opens doors to a world of quality friendshiips, responsibility, learning, sharing, and good, wholesome fun. If every community leader and business executive supported teenagers in Hawaii to attend this program, Hawaii's future would be so much brighter and more promising." - Carol Maero 
"One of the most significant lessons I learned at Winners' Camp is that 'We cannot escape the results of our actions; we get what we give.' I have been given so much and I want to give back to my Island community by becoming a psychologist and working with teens and their families."
- Mara Pavich 
"Winners' Camp is one of the best investments we made in our son, Koa. The parent day seminar was worth the tuition in itself! Every family can use the tools taught at Winners' Camp to get through the challenging teen years."
- Lani Yukimura
"Winners' Camp has taught me about team work, self-motivation, encouragement, and edification...The ropes courses have helped me look at my goals in a different perspective...my goals were really big, so to me it meant that I would have to work to get where I want to be...through it all, I would have to make smart goals because having a goal and attaining that goal are two different things." - Te esu Kaonohi Kekoa-Asperilla "Travis and I came away from the Winners' Camp Experience with a better appreciation for ourselves, each other and our life's journey together. The major difference I have noticed is that his attitude has not been one of just getting by, but of showing a pride in his academic performance and seriously considering college as a post high school alternative." - Michael P. Tominaga "Sharon Brown and I want to commend you and your staff for an excellent presentation at our President's Club Success Retreat. We thought that it would not be possible to top your presentation of the year before but you succeeded!... Now a priority of ours is to transfer the energy and bonding that took place during your seminar into our entire branch system. First Hawaiian Bank would also like very much to utilize the services of your team again next year and at other functions. Thanks to you and the Winners' Camp Team for making our President's Club Success Retreat a most memorable time for our participants."
- Chuck Reindollar, Vice President
"Thank you so much for coming to Mid-Pacific Institute's Wise Choices day...Though your program is geared towards smaller groups, you met the challenge of a large group, over 1,100 Middle and High School students in the gym, and really helped me out in a pinch! I have heard reports of students using SLANT in the classroom, so I know that the message stuck!...Again, thank you so much for coming to our school and reaching out to our students. Your message was so valuable, and you really touched our students." - Julie Halpern "Students returning from camp have changed in important ways. They have an enhanced sense of self-worth and recognize the value of other people's individuality. One of AOP's goals is to produce a Winners' Camp program for our entire student and faculty body!"
- Dr. Dorothy Douthit
"It is rare these days that we find programs that are developed to provide adolescents with opportunities and experiences that help them to gain an understanding about life and how to be more than just "survivors" in today's world. Winners' Camp is one such program. I see these students even today, and their countenances, their posture, their very way of being has been completely altered. They are more confident, more capable, and more willing to risk at the hopes of achieving success."
