"This was my second summer volunteering at Camp Xperience (a non profit organization designed to build confidence & strong bonds between children struggling with childhood obesity). Last summer as a camp counselor I was there on a daily basis to encourage and reinforce each camper to keep a positive outlook throughout the week. This summer, with Synergetics support, I volunteered to provide sound and entertainment for the final two nights of camp. Due to the blistering heat and inevitable home sickness the camp morale was at an all time low when I arrived. At that time I knew exactly how to turn the night around. I set up a music system and within minutes every camper was either singing, dancing, or just standing there in awe. The two nights at camp went by so fast because the staff and campers make it such a fun atmosphere to be a part of. I am very grateful for having had the opportunity to make a difference in these children's lives." -Mike
We also received this wonderful letter from George Datto, the Executive Director at Camp Xperience.

Dear Synergistic Sounds,
We would like to thank you for having Mike Keleher DJ our dance party and campfire at our
summer camp this year. The kids loved it! What an experience! Mike was very professional and
had all the music that made both nights special for the kids. We are most grateful to Synergetic
Sounds in making this possible for our campers. You help us reach our mission of providing this
experience to all kids regardless of their family’s ability to pay. If there is anything we can do in
return, please let us know. We hope that you will continue to make this an important part of the
week at Camp Xperience.
Sincerely,
George Datto
Executive Director, Camp Xperience
We're so glad we were able to add to the campers experience! We have always said how important we feel it is to give back and we will continue to do so at every opportunity we can.
-Becky
