LISTEN TO WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT OUR CAMPS
CC Testimonials
"The students grow in wisdom and stature right before your eyes! It is a miracle you get to participate in it!"
"It is such a blessing to walk along souls who are made in the image of God and to journey with them from glory to glory."
"CC has been great for us. Last year Challenge A brought out things in my son I didn't even know were there. Looking forward to Challenge B and a year of encouragement and new discoveries."
"I feel like it allowed me to explore the depths of subjects and not just skim over them. I really got a chance to understand and form an opinion on subjects. The program taught me to love to think and reason."
"CC produces young men and women who can think critically, understand the effect of worldview and are aware and connected to global issues."
"CC saved my homeschooling! I could finally streamline my day and get everything I needed accomplished done!"
"I expected my kids to meet their best friends here; I never expected I would meet mine here!"
"CC has been such a blessing to our family!"
