It sometimes seemed a grind, sometimes a blast. Looking forward to a brand new year, My source of joy and fun is very clear.   In all the happy times I can recall People create pleasure most of all. As I ponder the new year, each hour and minute, I'm very glad my life still has you in it.   My appreciation for you is sincere, So I wish for you a happy, bright new year. *By Joanna Fuchs*   ![2-week-summer-camp-sma-5](https://www.sma-summers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2-week-summer-camp-sma-5.jpg?width=1666&name=2-week-summer-camp-sma-5.jpg)   [![Why Choose SMA](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/158966/5aa20c99-2dc1-43e8-b9db-64f3cff82210.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/158966/5aa20c99-2dc1-43e8-b9db-64f3cff82210) Stone Mountain Adventures is a fully elective 2 week summer camp for teenagers ages 12 – 16.  Here are some of the things that make SMA Teen Camp unique: -
