Dr. Andrew Weil Parent Testimonial

We love hearing from the parents of youth who have attended Power of Hope programs. After our most recent camp on Cortes Island, our executive director, Michael Harris, received this beautiful letter from acclaimed best-selling author, Andrew Weil:

Dear Michael:

My daughter, who turns 18 in October, just graduated from Power of Hope, after attending the camp for third time on Cortes Island, BC. It has been a joy for me to watch her enthusiasm grow for the experience and see the rewards it has brought her, both in personal growth and increased self-confidence and in wonderful connections and friendships it has given her.

I had to drag her kicking and screaming to her first POH. Now, I have to tear her away, and she can’t wait to apply to return as a counselor. Having met many POH kids, I can attest to the quality and lasting value of the unique program you have created. It is solid gold.

I am very grateful to you and your colleagues for enriching my daughter’s (and my) life. I will support your work and recommend Power of Hope to all those I know with kids of eligible age.

     Sincerely,

     Andrew Weil, MD
