Favorite Camp memory?
FTF tappings & initiation . canoe trips. CIT training was extremely enjoyable with many friendships. Every year I arrived seeing Ernie Fellows overseeing the camper check-in brought a smile to my face. Crazy car rides down river road whether it was in a VW beetle(Sofranko) or whatever fast car (Elbert) had makes me thankful I still walking. First "love" of my life....yes it started at Hagan.
Basically what I learned at Camp Miller has been with me my whole life. My brother Greg (also a camper/counselor) had talked about camp for our entire lives. Since he has passed I look back on our canoe trip down the Delaware 8 years ago with fond memories.
River trips have been a passion of mine my entire life. When I see whitewater I think of camp which maybe explains why I've done 16 trips to the Fall Gauley in West Virginia for rafting. Possibly why my lovely wife of 43 years won't get in a canoe with me?
Heck just bought a house in the mountains because it reminded me of camp.!
What a way to spend your youth .....very blessed I'd say.
