And my mom, she did that all the time for me. you know why I feel fearless as an adult right now? Because she pushed me. And when I wanted to quit, she made sure I didn&#8217;t quit. Everyone who had the fortune enough to know my mom, who was the camp health director, she was quirky, she got the biggest kick out of watching you guys throughout the week and she was always thrilled when I would announce to her guess who is coming back to camp next week.

We had four kids on a waiting list for this camp this year.
