Camp is a Gift

A little more than 50 years ago, I received one of the greatest gifts I could have ever imagined, even if I didn’t 100% see it like that at the time. It was when Sheila, a single parent in New Jersey, working on her college degree at night, took out a payroll loan in order to send me to Kenwood & Evergreen. We didn’t have much, but she made camp the top priority because she knew my cousins loved it there. She knew I would love it. She believed it was the right thing for me, at the time, and for my future. She was right.
