“The camp just didn’t impact me it transformed me. I remember my first day like it was yesterday walking into the lobby not knowing anyone but I immediately received welcoming arms and a bright smile from Dr. D and the YATG mentors. This camp teaches you life lessons that will prepare you for your future no matter if you need help with saving your money, etiquette advice or even how to cook a simple dish this camp has it covered. But, the most important gift that you will revive from this camp is the value of loving yourself. During your 1 week experience you will focus on building your self-esteem, your confidence, finding your inner beauty, leadership skills, and so much more.”

“A Breath of Fresh Air for Young Ladies! The One Pearl Program is a ‘must have’ for all young ladies. Mrs. Sharpley has no problem grasping the attention and respect of the young ladies because she is the epitome of what a sophisticated, classy, intelligent lady is all about. I will continuously spread the word about The One Pearl Program and how essential and beneficial it is for all young ladies. My students loved the program!”

“Thank you, Ms. Derschaun, for showing me how to start a successful business. I had no idea that I could turn my hobby of making handmade cards into a flourishing business.”

“Great Job in Reaching Our Girls! Let me take this opportunity to thank you and all your helpers, from the bottom of my heart for an excellent, well organized event. On several occasions I had the opportunity to peek in on the guests, and one in particular was Lexi who I had never heard of before. This sister is so highly anointed and was able to connect with the girls in a way that I could never have. I am truly grateful for the wealth of knowledge and information that you all shared with my girls as well as all the other girls in our ‘village.’”

“Finding the Inner Beauty in Me! I learned how to boost my self-esteem, how to say positive things to myself, how to love myself before I can expect anyone else to, and how to treat my friends and how they should treat me. I also learned that I can be what I want to be -my best self. Thank you for helping me find the inner beauty in ME!”

“As a parent you want to make sure your child is involved in programs that will teach them life lessons. I am so thankful that we found the “You Are the Gift” Camp. My daughter was exposed to like-minded children and mentors that instilled in her great life lessons. Aniya still keeps in touch with the friends she has made as well as her mentor. It is normal that as a parent the first year I had reservations about sending my daughter away. By the end of the first day I was put at ease after seeing how much fun she was having. I appreciate the hard work, dedication and compassion Dr. Brown gives to all of the children enrolled in the camp. I definitely look forward to enrolling my daughter for the third year.”
