Parents and Students:
As a parent of a Camp of CHAMPS camper, my son AJ has been motivated to do the best he can in everything he does in life. I thank Aric for his awesome Camp of CHAMPS.
Laura Flores
Aric has put me on the right track for success. I will never forget the fun I had and the friends I made. I have become a better person and a better leader because of the camp and because of Aric.
AJ Flores
After getting home from camp, I was all smiles and motivated to live my dreams and be my best me. I started running with my mom and taking action so I can have all my dreams come true.
Maggie Sulc
Educators:
The Camp of CHAMPS is a great way that gets our Leaders pumped and ready to make positive changes in our school. COC is a high energy camp that provides the students with tools to be successful in the next year and in their future lives. The energy Aric exudes is contagious; you can't help but get caught up in all of the activities and games at camp. My students return empowered and filled with a "Can Do" spirit.
Michael Giroir
Lanier Middle School Leadership Teacher
My students and I have been coming to Aric's CAMP OF CHAMPS for the past three years now. The kids and I look forward to it all year long! Its such a wonderful environment for kids (of ALL ages) to get reacquainted with their inner self and learn to express that "true" self, while learning how best to serve others in the process. This camp rekindled MY passion for teaching AND learning...and about finding MY best life, so that I am able to help my students do the same!

Camp of CHAMPS is an opportunity to change kids lives! My PAL students come back re-energized for the school year. Kids look at life differently after this leadership camp. It simply is a life-changing experience for everyone involved students, sponsors and parents alike. Just wait until your child comes home from Camp of CHAMPS!

TMS had a blast at Camp of CHAMPS. We have been to a lot of camps and this one is by far the best. You and the Camp of CHAMPS staff are phenomenal. Keep up the great work and we will see you next year!
Stephanie Brush
Texas Middle School Student Council sponsor
Camp of CHAMPS offers students and sponsors what no camp does...opportunities to find the Champion within themselves and use their gifts to serve others. My association with Aric's camp has truly blessed me and created space for growth and positive change.

Former Master PAL Teacher at Ennis High School
Camp of CHAMPS can make a difference in anyone's life. The younger kids get the training they need to feel stronger and better about themselves, and the older students feel a sense of confidence and accomplishment in providing the training. Young or older there is something there for everyone, even the sponsors!!!!!!
Suzanne Ham
PAL and Family Consumer Science Teacher - Mexia High School
I was moved to see the impact Aric's message had not only on these teens but on me a 32 year old sponsor. The experience has brought me back to my youth and helped me reconnect with my students.

Aric, Camp of CHAMPS really does give high school and middle school students the tools to thrive and survive in todays rapidly changing society.
Loren Rice
Assistant Principal
As a teacher, I was amazed and delighted to see how rapidly kids from different schools came together and learned to trust and enjoy each other.
Debbie Rice English Teacher
Everyday I am rewarded by the job well done from Aric and the Camp of CHAMPS when I see my student council kids step out and be that individual he talked so much about at camp. I also feel like I have grown as an individual and have that desire to shoot for my dreams and have the confidence to accomplish them!
