"Dear Howell Nature Center,
Hi! My name is Mackenzie Cote. I go to Schalm School. I am in 5th grade. I went to your camp on May 23 and May 24. I had a lot of fun at camp. Thank you so much for allowing us to go to your camp. I had so much fun. Everything was so much fun. Your staff was so nice. They knew so many fun things. My favorite thing was the zip line. It was so much fun. I also liked the scramble game that was so much fun. Thank you so much. I loved camp so much. It was so much fun. Sincerely, Mackenzie"

"Dear Camp Howell Staff,
I really liked our visit to Camp Howell. The activities were really fun. My favorite things were the Global Village, archery, Capture the Flag, dancing, Native American drumming, predator prey, hayrides, and the campfires. Also the food was really good. Thank you for all the good memories!   Sincerely, Brad B"


"Dear Howell Camp Staff,
Hi, this is Clear Lake and I'd like to thank you for all the great camp times we all enjoyed. Every activity was well organized, fun and safe. I especially enjoyed the high ropes course. All the activities were awesome and I really can't choose a favorite. It was full of action packed fun. You really got us excited. The food was very good. It couldn't have been better. The bunks were very comfortable. I really didn't expect that much, but after I came, I realized how good it was. Thank you all of the staff, for three cool days of camp.
From, Ryan K"
