Hello Future Campers, Counselors, Parents of Campers, or SMA fans,
My name is Sarah Fisher and I am preparing to ship off to Stone Mountain Adventures Teen Summer Camp on Thursday. This will be my fifth summer at SMA Teen Camp, but it will be quite a different year from previous ones. I was a camper from 2006 to 2009 and now I am returning as a counselor! You would think that preparing for summer camp is quite different this time around, but I am finding some real similarities. The other night I even took out a pair of pants that I (apparently) had not worn since the last camp talent show. In the back pocket was the script that Daniel Herbick and I wrote for “What They Say and What They Really Mean”. And yes, those pants are already packed for another SMA summer – some things never change.

Runners Larry Grogin and John Renaldo complete 224 mile + Boston Marathon run for Hole in the Wall Gang Summer Camp
This article was posted in the "Summer Camp Culture Blog" by Matt Ralf
Running in a marathon is no small feat. Running in the Boston Marathon, one of the most prestigious races in the world requires more than just the endurance to finish – you have to qualify first. Running 224 miles to get to the starting line takes things to a whole other level. But that’s what Larry Grogin and John Renaldo did to raise money for The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Connecticut. Grogin and Renaldo ran 224 miles from their home in Franklin Lakes, N.J. to the start line of the marathon and capped off the 250-mile journey by completing the race last year’s bombings prevented Grogin from finishing.

Allegrippis Trail system is ‘best in state’
This articel by Candy Price first appeared in the Huntingdon Daily News
The Allegrippis Trail System near Raystown Lake was recently named the best mountain biking trail in Pennsylvania by Singletracks.com. www.Singletracks.com an online mountain biking community, has named the Allegrippis Trail at Raystown Lake the top trail in the state based on reviews from mountain bikers around the world.
Evan Gross, president of the Raystown Mountain Bike Association, called the honor “entertaining.”
“Looking at the map, you see a lot of great trails systems, but (the Allegrippis Trail) is not really characteristic of trail riding in Pennsylvania,” he said, explaining mountain biking trails in Pennsylvania are typically known as technical trails with rough terrain and tree and rock obstacles. “It’s very fast and smooth and flowy and devoid of rocks and any technically difficult riding.”
The rankings from Singletrack.com are based on the average review, the number of reviews, number of Singletracks members who have ridden the trail and number of Singletracks members who want to ride the trail.
“It’s tremendous in the fact that we did get the accolades of riders,” Gross said. “Clearly riders rode it, loved it, rated it. It’s no surprise because of how different it is.”
