TESTIMONALS

"I have to say how thankful I was for the Verano Alegre Summer kids program, because financially I could not provide them with camp or an actual vacation away. It was a great relief for me to be able to bring them there as they need daily activities, and I would have been at wits end trying to come up with activities daily. An added benefit was they slept soundly every night."
