The 3rd annual, 2009 High Profile Adventure Camp was once again huge success!  145 campers and  volunteers enjoyed a beautiful sunny, warm, spring weekend of ropes, navigation, camaraderie and fun at YMCA Camp Benson in Mt. Carroll, Illinois.  The camp concluded with a 3 hour adventure race.  A highlight of the camp was the attendance by adventure racing legend and icon, Robyn Benincasa.  The 2010 camp is scheduled for April 3 - 5, 2010.  A special thank you goes out to all of the dedicated volunteers and sponsors who make this camp possible.  Your involvement is highly valued and appreciated.  Gerry
