FUN FACT: A notable fact about this year’s camp is that it is being led for the second time by one of the original Summer Angels, Caroline Willoughby. Willoughby participated in the program as an eighth grader in 2006. The camp made such a positive impression on her as a young adult that she chose to study recreational therapy in college with the intent of working with seniors in the future. Willoughby graduated this past spring from Georgia Southern University.
