What our CAMP community has to say…

Real Success Stories | CAMP Testimonials from Parents & Organizations

Kids Programming Executive Director - Victoria Read

“I really enjoyed the CAMP workshop with Dayna. She was able to clearly outline her CAMP approach to working with children and youth. I think this framework is comprehensive and can really impact how we approach challenging behaviors from a mental health perspective. I love that Dayna believes the child can help find solutions and that intrinsic motivation is an important part of the framework. I work mainly with early years families and I am a parent so I can use this approach in both my professional and personal life.”
Social Worker - Shelley Bennett

“I can not express how useful and valuable your training has been. I have personally already implemented a lot of ideas and concepts from CAMP”
Kids Programming Executive Director - Victoria Read

“Our Forest School staff team participated in two of Dayna’s CAMP training sessions and found it incredibly valuable to reflect on how we can better support behavior by assessing the deeper need of each child we interact with. We truly appreciated how Dayna fostered a safe and supportive environment that encouraged open dialogue and collaboration. We are looking forward to exploring and practicing this perspective deeper with many of our Forest Schoolers!”

Child and Youth Support Work - Brenna Sullivan

“CAMP is a very thoughtful, holistic approach to address challenging behaviors. I personally found the workshop incredibly helpful to remind me to take a step back and really look at behaviors from a mental health perspective, especially the unmet need aspect. Dayna has a wonderful way of explaining the CAMP approach, so it is applicable to everyone which helps you bring it into your practice confidently. I look forward to learning more from Dayna and continuing to use the CAMP approach moving forward.”

Tori - Mom of 3

“As a mother of three (4yrs, 5yrs, & 6 mo), taking the CAMP Workshop was hands down the most practical ‘parenting’ course I have taken since the birth of my first child 6 years ago. With so many resources at our fingertips, and constant parenting ‘suggestions’ popping up on social media, CAMP actually feels like a resource to land on, with research-based information and practical step-by-step strategies. Using the four-step method of CAMP, I feel empowered as a parent to work WITH our three children to support them as we resolve conflicts together. Working with Dayna, who comes from a background as both a mother and educator, I appreciate her practical and personal examples of how she uses CAMP successfully in her own life. I would recommend anyone who has children in their lives, or is planning to have children in their lives participate in the CAMP Workshop as I wholeheartedly believe in this strategy that supports children through a mental health lens.”
Tabitha - Mom of 2, Uplift Association

"CAMP takes what my heart knows to be true and presents it in an actionable way. The focus on Connection, Control and Purpose as its foundation gives a grounding, simplified, and sequential way to look at behavior and mental health, cohesively! What a treasure! I am celebrating the creation of CAMP as a parent, practitioner, and human being, it feels like just what the world needs right now. Thank you Dayna for creating something so accessible, for your hard work and research, and for your bravery in bringing this to our community! I can't wait for people to become familiar with this refreshing take on challenging behavior and what we can all do to support youth, and ourselves, in this way."
Brittany - Mom of 2

“I have had the privilege of working with Dayna Conway for several months, and I can confidently say she is one of the most compassionate and effective professionals I have encountered.
Dayna has a unique ability to deeply understand the emotional and developmental needs of children. Her empathy and patient approach create a safe space for children to express themselves, and the strategies are both practical and transformative.
What sets Dayna and CAMP apart is the work with families. Dayna has an incredible talent for building trust with parents, guiding them through complex situations, and providing them with tools to navigate challenging behaviors.”
