“…I got to live with 4 people in the same room for a whole week! I felt when I was rock climbing was amazing because I had good things and bad things happened. The good things were I did alot of rock climbing and had alot of opertunities and the bad thing is that I got blisters on my feet. The climbing felt good. Sometimes it was easy but often it was hard but I didn’t mind the extra work because I was having more fun than anything.” – Quesie

“I had a really good experience here at Kismet. It was wonderful and the instructors were very nice and helpful when we were climbing. Now I love to climb. I felt that it was hard but I liked it. I want to come back next year. I don’t think we should have to wake up so early in the morning.” – James

“The people who were our counselors were caring, loving, and friendly.” – Christine

“When I was at rock climbing camp I had a very good time. the view from the mountains was clear and beautiful. When I was on top of a mountain I was very nervous, I cried. This was my first time rock climbing. I found the experience very exciting and I look forward to doing it again.” – Kendra

“I spent a great eight days at Kismet. We woke up every morning and saw the beautiful mountains. I don’t get to see those in Brooklyn. Learning about the equipment was fun also. We used ropes, a helmet, climbing shoes, that had rubber on the bottom and a friend which sticks into the rocks. As climbers, we also learned to make several types of knots to keep us safe. The knot that I remember most is the figure 8. When you rock climb, everyone looks out for everyone else. That made me feel safe. I met some great people and pets….I had a great time and would like to climb again.” – Alexandria

“If Kismet ever stopped, I would cry an ocean” – Sean
