It is said, "When the camp bug bites you're hooked for life " Nancy
and her husband Tom caught that bug during their youth and jumped
at the opportunity to own and direct a summer camp in southern
Maine when they retired. Retired again, they enjoy life at their
cottage off Cape Cod, where Nancy, always a story teller, writes
about a new camper's experiences at a camp called, Hideaway
somewhere in northern Maine. It's a must read for new campers and
their parents. And fun for seasoned campers to remember their own
first summer. The Armstrong's still serve as Visitors for the
American Camping Association, Accreditation, each summer.
