If I hear that camp song one more time... I might just start singing along; I miss Camp Curiosity already! THANK YOU so much to the camp crew – campers, camp families, camp volunteers, camp leaders, and the MOSAC team – for making summer 2026 a highlight of my year. Wishing you all the best fall ever! -Jade (Camp Leader Leader)
