“I first went to 4-H Camp at age 10. It was all new … the people, the routine and the activities, like rock-hopping across the creek and making earrings for my mother.
It was also safe, well thought out,
and controlled in a loose sort of way.
What could I hope for a ten year old today? …
It is a formula that still works.”
--- Philip L. Francis, CEO, PetSmart, Inc
