"The summer of 2002 was full of many fond memories for me. I will remember many campers for many reasons, but what I will remember most is the sound of laughter and the sight of smiles that I saw every day this summer. I'd like to thank all of the counselors who, through their kindness, caring, and friendship, made Roughing It a fun place for (all of us) to come to.
