“The Camp Counselors did an amazing job this summer,” shared a Camp Bucks parent at the conclusion of camp last summer. “On those very, extremely hot days, they would check my ID at the end of the day, greeting me with a smile on their faces. The positive attitudes of the counselors certainly show on the campers. As the campers were being picked up, they were smiling and they showed they still had energy left!”
