A New Year Message from Jud Millar, Camp Director of SMA Teen Camp

Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, I want to take a moment to express how truly grateful we are for each and every one of you. Whether you’ve been with us for years or are joining us for the first time this summer, we are so excited to have you as part of the SMA family. Your trust, enthusiasm, and support fuel everything we do, and we can’t wait to share another incredible summer with you and your teens.

This year, we’re gearing up for the SMA Summer of 2025, and let me tell you, it’s going to be one for the books! We’re already counting down the days to welcome your teens back to camp—to reconnect, explore, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

In the spirit of kicking off the year with excitement, I’m thrilled to share a special treat: the premiere of our video, “The Great Canoe Rescue of 2024.” This 11-minute masterpiece is packed with adventure, teamwork, and a good dose of SMA spirit. Whether you’re a long-time camper family or new to our community, this video captures the heart and humor that make camp so special.

SMA Wakeboarding  Summer Camp is excited to present a new 2015 wakeboarding video.  The video was filmed by our awesome camp counselors Sarah "Fisher" and Ellie "Babs" Phillips otherwise known as "Fish and Chicks Productions." The video features our fabulous campers and wakeboarding staff.  As you can see, we had a lot of fun making this video and we hope you have as much fun watching it!

Enjoy!
