"Denise is superb! We have been coming to Dance and Games for 5 years and my daughter gleefully picks it each year as her favourite week of the summer! I so admire and respect how Denise works with our children. I certainly appreciated the time Denise spent with the parents this year"

"As the 5th year in a row, this course is, and continues to be transformational for my family. I love the way I can communicate and share with my kids, and our home is now the kinds of caring and respectful place that I'd always dreamed it could be. Both boys have developed confidence and compassion & our Haven visit is a highlight of each year."

"Hearing from the assistants, youth leaders and volunteers. I was amazed to hear how many years they had been involved and kept coming back each year. The repeat business spoke volumes about the quality of the program. If the program wasn't good, people wouldn't keep coming back every year, year after year. Also listening to some of the participants who come back every year, and the lengths people go to, and the distances traveled, in order to get to the Haven. That speaks volumes. I didn't know anything about the program, but my child asked to go. Since we have had such amazing things happen when we attended other courses at the Haven, I thought it's a Haven course, that's good enough for me. We're in."

"Our child asked to come next year and wanted to know more about other programs. This is all good. She is taking the initiative to enquire about programs for herself."

"Denise and the tutors were so supportive of the children at all times. It was a great experience for my grandchild and she made sure that I signed her up for another session next year. The classes for the parents and grandparents were also fantastic."

"I am in awe of the Kids in the spotlight program and all that goes on within it. "

"I liked that the energy of the leaders and the children remained positive and co-operative thru the issues that came up. The experience showed us that you can remain generous when things don't go your way."

"I think my kids take many skills away with them. We've noticed the way they speak about how they are feeling and the way they treat others feelings. Also they have a real sense of confidence due to their accomplishments in the sessions and in the final production. We've seen amazing growth in our kids over the years."

"It was wonderful for the parents to be given the space and opportunity to connect and do some work at the same time that the children were in session. And for my son, he always enjoys his time with Denise and the other leaders at KITS, coming back home with lots of energy and self-awareness."

"This is the fourth year we have attended Dance and Games. Each year we see the children grow and develop confidence. We appreciate seeing the same families year after year. It is great that parents now have an optional program."
June 2007
"The kids have grown in confidence and poise. They look forward to returning each summer. It gives us a focus for many discussions throughout the year. One of the primary discussions is about the time when they can be junior leaders."

"YEAH DENISE!!! You will never know the difference one week in the summer with you makes in my children's life! BRAVO"
