Words can't express how awesome our experience was at Mission Grit! We had our daughter's 6th birthday party here and the kids had a blast!
ASHLEY MAUST
This was an amazing camp. My kids were kept active and had fun while learning about teamwork, inner strength/self-esteem, cooperation, and perseverance.
ANNE WIMMER
Mission Grit is an incredible program! Paul is a wonderful mentor and he provides a positive environment with just the right amount of fun and challenge.
LINDSAY BRIGGS
Paul was so great with all the kids for our son's birthday party. Every child had fun and appeared to really challenge themselves with each obstacle thanks to Paul's instruction and his assistant's help.
LINDSAY MATHESON
My daughter absolutely loves it and I do too seeing her enjoying every class. She tried many usual classes (dance, gymnastics, etc.) and was never really excited. With Mission Grit it's a completely different story.
ALINA FEDARENKA
My son Loves this camp so much!! It's a wonderful experience with kids with hand-on leadership skills, physical work & a lot of fun.
LESLIE LORD
My 5 year old has been attending once a week for the past 3 months and never wants to miss class. He is always so eager to try out the new obstacles despite how challenging they might be.
BRENDA TORERO
We first learned about it after attending a birthday party here and since have hosted one of our own there! Our kids also attend Winter Camp and had a blast!
