Although I really miss CJM this year, I’m so grateful for the CJM leadership team who, as always, have kept the health and safety of the kids, staff, volunteers, and all of their families as a priority. We love y’all and can’t wait to see you again!

I am so THANKFUL for CJM & CJA team members! Each year we have worked to provide a safe, fun and memorable experience for our campers. This year, although REALLY WIERD, virtual camp will still be a safe, fun and memorable experience for all!

I love camp so much because I've made some of my best friends at camp. The counselors are really fun too!!! I've always been a wild child, so camp is the perfect place for me to really let loose and have fun!!!

I am so thankful for Camp in all its forms! I've cried some sad tears and some happy tears this summer and have missed Camp in a big way. But I'm also excited about what the next year holds and to get started on the Dove Creek Cabin decor!

I am so thankful for the Camp Esperanza campers that stopped by Children's Health on Saturday to pick-up a camper bag with fun family activities to make virtual camp special this week. It was great to see 115 smiling camper faces! It's For the Kids!

My heart is full of thanks for everyone at CJM, Children's Health, Camp E, and Bridewell who helped to provide for a safe week of camp in 2020 through CIMTAP. You are all the best people that I know, and your constant love for the campers amazes me!

I was so sad when I found out that I wouldn’t be able to see the camp staff and my friends. But then I got a email that there was going to be a parade. Then I got to see all of the staff workers. Can’t wait to be back next year for my last year there

I am grateful for the CJM staff and Cook Children's Fort Worth staff for allowing this week in July to be the best week of my son's life for 7 years now. This would be his last year with Camp Jubilee and we are thankful Camp is not just a place.

You guys are all doing a great job! I’m sure not having camp has taken a toll on all of you, but you are doing a fantastic job of making the best out of the situation and making the campers stay connected to camp! ATAWAYTOGO guys!
