A Lee Mar camper is a rare combination of natural freshness, alarming frankness, unpredictable thoughts and actions, boisterous belly laughs, and unbelievable sincerity and enthusiasm.

A Lee Mar camper is innocence with dirt on their face, a ball of enthusiasm rolled up in a t-shirt and shorts, with a bashful smile, a sun-tanned personality with loads of energy.

A Lee Mar camper is a composite of many things – the curiosity and playfulness of a young puppy, the suspicion of a cat and the imagination of a science-fiction writer. Nobody can get as happy over hitting the ball for two bases, a surprise for their counselor, or the bunk “secret” project which they had a big part in planning. Nobody can be so illogical at so many times yet so warm and grateful the next minute. Nobody can brood so conveniently and become equally as effervescent when the occasion demands.

A Lee Mar Camper is magical, possessing two arms, two legs, a head and torso, all bursting with the breath of life, all anxious to explore the camp and the staff. And when they are tucked securely under the covers with a “good night” pat from their counselor and they look up to you wistfully there’s nothing in the world like the feeling of knowing that this camper is a real honest-to-goodness pal who wants your guidance and who has spent a truly wonderful day with you.
