five staff members aboard each bus. The
staff of 70 is comprised of college stu-
dents — average age of 20 — including
students from Israel, Australia, Scotland
and 30 men from London as part of a
relationship with the international version
of Camp America. They live here at the
homes of camp families who, in exchange,
receive tuition reductions.
"Fortunately, we've never had trouble
with any of our campers or counselors
over 40 years' Lorraine enthused. "We
have a zero tolerance for any possible bad
behavior. And we don't allow the campers
to use cell phones. This is really a full-
time job in the summer, with our house
phones ringing from 7 a.m. to midnight
all week about various matters!'

Parent Influence
Added Arnie, "One of our biggest chal-
lenges is getting parents to understand
why we do things the way we do them
and that we must operate with a complete
safety structure. That always has been our
main strength!'
The camp's largest expenses are staff
salaries, insurance and gasoline,"espe-
cially in view of rising gas prices," he said.
"Fun and safety are foremost, but the
camp is also a business and we must keep
stringent controls!'
Jennifer Levin Teper of Farmington
Hills, who attended Willoway for four
years as a youngster, now has her two
children in the camp, Jason, 8, and
Melanie, 6."The kids love it; they always
have a great time there. The campers,
counselors and even the bus drivers are
all good friends;' she said. "As parents,

we couldn't begin to duplicate all of the
sports and activities that the children get
by going to Willoway all summer!'
After several years as a camper and
counselor-in-training as a young-
ster, Adrianne Seligman Katz of West
Bloomfield is retuning this summer as
an adult counselor with her two children,
Matthew, 7, and Evan, almost 5."It's an
amazing, friendly and very family-ori-
ented camp," she said,"and it's extremely
cost-effective. Where else can the kids
do everything they want to do in nine
weeks!'
As a member of the American
Camping Association, Willoway receives
a thorough inspections every three years
and also undergoes yearly inspections
by the Michigan Department of Human
Services and even more frequent check-
ups by the State Health Department.
Seven of the Fishers' eight grandchil-
dren attend the camp, and grandsons
Adam Fisher and Brandon Vieder are
aides. Long-time campers Jonathon
Koenigsberg of West Bloomfield, a lawyer,
and Jason Rosen of Farmington Hills, a
teacher, both in their 30s, are now assis-
tant directors. ❑

Willoway Day Camp will hold a

tion about the reunion and the
