    Testimonials
    I was enrolled at Big Sprouts Summer Camp at Northern Essex Community College when I was 8 years old. Now, 10 years later, I am back as a Camp Counselor. Little Sprouts has inspired me to find a dream and to follow it no matter what happens. And most importantly, to follow it with friends and those I love alongside me. Being a part of the Little Sprouts family is something I will always treasure.
