Camp John Marc is grateful for each of you and for your love of Camp. Like the Wall of Gratitude in the Medical Building at Camp, this Wall of Gratitude is a place where you can share what you are grateful for or give a shout-out to your camp or medical team.

What are you grateful for?

We are thankful for days full of family, laughter, and precious memories. We had so much fun bonding and taking a much needed mental break while soaking up time spent in nature. The stars are so amazing out here; thank you for the chance to see them!
Camp John Marc has been a transformative experience for me. It has provided me with comfort, joy, and a sense of family that has helped shape me into the person I am today.
I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to have been a camper for so many years and returning this year as a counselor! I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to be in a place we all can be equal!

I am excited to go to camp this year! i love the chicken fajitas and the pool and the YEAH BOAT chant and the dress up time and their dog Bosque. Thank you very much cooks children’s staff!
The irreplaceable counselors who created a place where I could forget my disability and the social toll it enacted. They offered a kind of friendship that would have never graced my life outside the camp. Saying goodbye to them is still bittersweet.
This was the best place in childhood. Taught me how to swim and many other lessons.
You guys were awesome and we will cherish our memories forever.
