FREEDOM — “Singing, laughter, friendships: simple memories that last a lifetime” — the mantra of the Carroll County YMCA/Camp Huckins will be in full effect starting this weekend as summer camp opens.
The 94th summer at Camp Huckins will look nothing like the 93rd. The camp was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but officials and campers are gearing up for a summer to remember this year.
