GoodBye for Now - No Summer Program 2026
Dear MCP Families,
We hope this message finds you and your loved ones well.
It is with heavy hearts that we are writing to share that our MCP program will be discontinued until further notice.
This was not an easy decision, and it comes with a deep sense of sadness for both of us. MCP has meant so much, not just as a program, but as a community, a family, and a space filled with growth, connection, and joy.
From the very beginning, your support, trust, and commitment have been the foundation of everything MCP has stood for.
Watching your children grow, learn, and become more confident in themselves has been one of the greatest honors and joys of our lives.
Each moment we’ve shared together has left a lasting impact on us.
Although we are deeply saddened to see the program come to a pause, we want to express our most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you.
Your endless support, encouragement, and belief in what we built together have meant more than words can truly capture.
MCP would not have been what it was without your families, your energy, and your trust.
Both Karlie and I want you to know how much we appreciate you. We are so proud of all of your children and everything they have accomplished, and we feel incredibly lucky to have been part of their journeys.
The memories we’ve created together will always stay with us.
We truly wish the absolute best for you and your families moving forward.
Your children are amazing, capable, and full of potential, and we have no doubt they will continue to grow and thrive in everything they do.
Thank you for being a part of the MCP family. It has been an honor and a privilege to share this experience with you.
If you have any questions, or if you would simply like to stay in touch, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at any time.
