Local Politicians Make Annual Visit To Camp Fun

By Idy Perl

In what has now become an annual tradition, local politicians including Senator Bill Weber, Town of Ramapo Supervisor Michael Specht, Ramapo Police Chief Daniel Hyman, members of the Rockland County Sheriff's Office, Monsey Fire Department and Hatzolah, as well as local law enforcement officers visited Camp Fun this afternoon. 

They entered the camp with a motorcade of vehicles and several officers on horseback, and were greeted by waving campers lining the sides of the road. The campers sang the national anthem as the procession made its way into the camp. 

The politicians delivered speeches about the patriotism of the camp and how much they enjoy visiting. There was lots of excitement from the staff and campers when one of the head counselors mentioned that Mordy Beker, Senator Bill Weber's Deputy Chief of Staff and Communications Director, used to be a camper at Camp Fun, and had Beker come up to deliver a few words as well. 

The visit was filled with enthusiastic cheers, and the officials spent some time exploring the campgrounds and speaking with the campers and staff. 

"I had a truly wonderful time visiting Camp Fun this year—it was an unforgettable experience!" Senator Bill Weber tells Rockland Daily. "Menny Schwab continues to outdo himself year after year and serves as an incredible role model for every camper. My office has been proud to play a key role in securing campgrounds for the final weeks of summer in recent years, and we're honored to support such a remarkable organization that's helping shape the leaders of tomorrow."
