My name is Andrew Tucker and I went to Summit from 2014 - 2020. I had a really good time and I made a lot of friends throughout the camp and travel program. I would like to thank all of Summit and the staff for a really good experience that I had. My favorite activities at camp were swimming in the lake, adventure, waitering, and the overnight trips. I also really enjoyed the travel program because I got to visit places that I have never been to before. I had the best summer ever and I loved everyone at Summit. This was the best camp for me. The weekender program is a lot of fun which I enjoyed doing.
