A super, super big thank you to Jud and Anne for giving me the chance to experience SMA’s magic for another year! This being my 2nd year made it even more special. This year I got very close to the counselors making it very, very hard to leave them. The overnights were very fun and some of the best memories this session, from getting up on the water-skis for a good 4 seconds, to the cuddle-puddle we had on the canoeing overnight. This session I discovered that I am a great volleyball player and an AMAZING chicken wrangler!! The friends I have made during these 2 weeks have become some of my bestest friends and I’m so grateful for all of them. I hope to some back as a super camper next year and a counselor in 5 years. Thank you to everyone who made my 2 weeks at SMA great. I loved being the ‘CIT’ (Counselor in Training) for the session and I hope that it helped you a lot! Love Morgan Oxenreider.

What an unforgettable first experience at SMA! Starting with the North East van with Will and Jem, every part was a blast! We got lost picking up most campers but it only made us laugh louder. I was impressed by the spirit and love shared by the group. Within a day I felt like I had made 50 new friends. Today, just two weeks in and I know I have made a new family and I am proud to call this place my second home! From the activities to the atmosphere, I easily forgot about any outside problems and got to submerge myself into camp. Everyday was filled warm-fuzzies and firsts. I topped-out a climb, slept under the stars, wake-boarding, made bracelets and had a wide smile continuously.
Mattawanna was so loving and supportive no matter how messy it was. The people I met at SMA will be there for me forever and vice versa. The counselors became my parents (Ben and Helen) and overall best friends. I am so thankful. Now as it wraps up all to fast, I hold these adventures close to my heart. I hope to never forget it or take camp for granted. I can’t wait to come back next year!! Cheers Luv!

I liked my two weeks at camp. I made lots of friends. I love all the staff. The food was great. So are the people. The horses were awesome. :D My favorite thing was the secret friends. I really liked the swimming. I will miss everyone. The overnights were awesome. All the people here are so nice.
