Enchanted Hills Camp counselors and volunteers Camp Director
Tony Fletcher talked about this year’s camp staff: “We had an
enthusiastic and dedicated group of both seasoned counselors and new
staff. They put the needs of the campers first, got along well with
each other and know our community well. Talk about continuity - three
are graduates of our Counselor in Training program and two have parents
who were former EHC staff. We received compliments throughout the
summer about our outstanding
staff.” Enchanted Hills Camp Wish
