FS 2015 participant's testimonies
Overall, FS has been a wonderful experience! My husband and I enjoyed the family enrichment cases and plan to get involved in our city’s family enrichment. When we went I wasn't sure if my husband would like the family enrichment cases. I was really glad when I saw him get engaged and provide lots of well thought out comments. He is known to be a quiet person and he really opened up in the case studies because it involved family issues and he was very comfortable with the moderators and the way they asked for everyone's opinion and input. It was amazing how many of the cases applied to our lives. Since we only have one child at home, I wasn't sure if the cases would be applicable but YES they were! We came away with ideas to improve our family life. Our daughter enjoyed the kids/tweens activities. It was wonderful knowing she was well taken care of and interacting with older and younger children like at Bingo she enjoyed helping 3 yr old play bingo and playing cards with the younger and same age children.

Place was fantastic, the hikes were great, Piney River Ranch was fun, rodeo was a great call as well. I especially liked how we could take a shuttle. I loved the counselor set up. Both of my kids who did this really enjoyed it and had a sense of accomplishment with doing good work.

Why families want to participate in Family Summer
“We look forward to the continued parental formation Family
Enrichment provides, as well as giving our children opportunities to spend time
with like-minded families. We also look forward to having family time together,
time of rest and time away from our busy lives.”
"Family Summer is truly a dream come true! It seems as though you have created the summer vacation that my husband and I could have only tried to facilitate; a beautiful balance of formation, communication, leisure and FUN! Family Summer seems to be a way in which our children can literally see and come to know better, the beauty of what it means to be happy and free, by choosing the greater good. In short, Family Summer simply makes sense!”
“Family Summer fits perfectly with our usual plan, only it will make things like finding a babysitter for toddlers or having all the meals prepared, a whole lot easier. Plus, it has the additional benefit and blessing of providing a wonderful opportunity for friendship building with other families.”
“It will be a great opportunity to share some quality time with family! We have been involved in Family Enrichment program since 2014, and we have found incredibly helpful this experience! We can't wait to have our first summer “camp” and see that magnificent place at Beaver Creek to spend days together with family and new friends.”
“Family Summer will allow us to spend family time and allow for more communication and build the memories that are needed in our family right now. Plus it will allow us as parents to focus on our children and family in a fun way since we lead very busy work lives and sometimes we forget the importance of having fun with our kids and with each other as husband and wife.”
