TRADITION: Camp Hanes begins 80th summer with new equipment, old friends

Billy Carroll was a little nervous yesterday as he stood on the edge of the tree-house platform towering over a lake at Camp Hanes.
But that fear didn’t keep the 13-year-old from trusting his climbing harness, stepping off the platform and zipping through the air on an overhead cable for several hundred feet to the other side of the lake.
“That last second before I jumped, wooh,” Billy said. “It was an experience.”
Camp Hanes was established in 1927 by the YMCA at the base of Sauratown Mountain in Stokes County with a mission of providing experience and instilling confidence through outdoor activities.
