I live in Pennsylvania and i have been looking at this camp. It's a 6 hour drive from where I live in Pennsylvania. I saw this is an overnight camp. I don't think my parents will let me stay at a camp in Connecticut with a bunch of people they don't know. I was really hoping to go yo this camp, then saw it was in CT. if you guys would open a camp like this in Harrisburg,PA that would be great

I've gone to GBSP since the summer of 8th Grade! It's been the most fabulous experience every single time I've attended the program. I feel that I left each year knowing myself a little better. It's a fun, enlightening environment.
