When asked how she first came to camp, Sandy said "I was standing beside Denise when she was first asked when she would be starting a day camp. And as the saying goes 'I was pulled into the vortex.'" Sandy served faithfully on the Board of Directors for ten years as the Business Manager. She has a Bachelor of Science in Recreation Resource Management, and works at the Union City Public Library as a Libray Aide. She enjoys people and finds both her job and volunteering at Mystic Mountain to be satisfying expereinces. Other hobbies include horse back riding, hiking, reading, sewing, quilting, and dancing when no one is looking. She loves horses, kids, her family, and especially God. She likes the passages in the Bible where it talks about "light," as in John 1:4-5 and 2 Corinthians 4:6. Sandy remains a very important part of our Great Adventure Day Camp volunteer team, and will continue to serve on the Photography Team.
