Dear Management and Staff, "I just wanted to personally thank all of you for another fantastic summer at OYA. My son, Michael McMillan has had a great time for his 5th year in attendance. There is no better place for a kid to spend their summer break than your facility which seems to outdo itself with each passing year. This year, in particular, I cant' tell you how much I appreciate the extra effort everyone took in looking out for Michael the week he wasn't feeling well and tending to him until he could be picked up. Outstanding effort in both communication and coordination on everyone's part! You guys are the BEST!!" Sincerely, Lea Ann Losin
	"Well, aside from the physical setup of your premises, which is great and much better than YMCA, there's a lot of little details on the human level that make a big difference. The fact that Philip and you were there, showed that you are involved and behind your staff and, in turn, ensures that everyone cares. Eric asked me about him putting sun lotion on Aydan and said they would do it 2 or 3 times a day. At YMCA, Aydan was not applied any sun protection. After the things I'd read in parents magazine, this was a big concern. So I felt confident that this guy cared ! I guess, the drop off experience really felt like family - tomorrow, I'm almost expecting to be served breakfast ;- ) Also, tonight at pickup, I found the same smiles despite the fact that everybody must have been tired. People were still nice. The gates were closed and filtered by a nice guy which made me feel that Aydan was safe. Dawn was there too, nice and smiling, which I thought was really great. The girl at your front desk said goodbye 'Aydan', while I'm pretty sure it's the first day she saw him, yet she knew and readily remembered his name ! I thought it was pretty amazing." Thanks for doing all that ! Have a great day Mike
To Whom It May Concern: "It is a pleasure to recommend Oakland Yard summer and winter camps. My two children (now ages 13 and 10) have attended their summer camps every year for the last 8 years now, and I have nothing but great things to say about the owners (Marty and Philip), the staff, the facilities and the overall organization. Marty and Philip are there every day observing, assisting, and making sure things run well. They are extremely involved and really care about details. Each year they have added new camps expanding their many offerings. The staff in particular is top notch, they really do enjoy having fun with the kids. The facilities are safe, secure, wide ranging and yet easily visible. They offer many perks appreciated by parents and kids (ie campership, summer parties, financial incentives, etc.). Both of my children have attended their winter soccer camps as well. These camps have helped them keep up with soccer skills during the off season plus have lots of fun in doing so. My children have attended many other camps throughout the years at various other locations. While some have been quite nice, some not so great, - none can equal the overall variety and quality at Oakland Yard. I would highly recommend Marty and Philip's Oakland Yard programs to anyone."

	Dear Philip & Marty, "Thank you for providing my grandson with a week of fun and more fun. He never wanted to leave camp. You should be very proud of your facilities, programs and counselors who make it all happen. Great Job Guys! Again, I thank you both for your kindness." Sincerely, Ross Herron
Philip & Marty, "I have sent a few people to the Yard this summer and they're all as pleased as we have been in past years. You have great camps and exceptional staff. The kids LOVE to come there--Keep up the great work!" Janice Dawson & Family
	Just a quick note to let you know that Dawn is doing a great job at a difficult task. I appreciate her efforts and wanted to make sure that you are aware the positive impact she has on your customers. Jim Dyckman Lobos Soccer Coach
