“I continue to learn from them
even beyond my time as a camper...”
The counselors I had as a camper made an impact on me by their attitude, affection, and laughter. I continue to learn from them even beyond my time as a camper. They were, and continue to be, my role models.
I hope this gift of a podium, made from the wood of the tree where so many of my camp memories took place, serves as a reminder to all who speak from it that those they are talking to are listening well beyond the speaker’s time behind the podium.
