 A History of the RMC Camps: Part 1
By Judith Maddock Hudson
"In 1947 the Board came
up with a different solution: a caretaker hired and supervised
by the RMC to run both Crag and Gray Knob, with expenses shared

allow the RMC to charge even a modest fee, so the Board asked
for donations from users."

By Genevra Pittman
"She hasn't had much trouble
with a lack of activity recently. The crew works Monday through
Friday, usually from about 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., although depending
on the current project, they may not arrive back at camp until
after dark."

a natural experience."
