Sophomore Stephen Gay did not take the summer off, but instead, was one of 200 youths from more than 20 countries who participated in a six-week program of academic, physical and leadership challenges at Wolfeboro Camp School in New Hampshire.
Gay was named to the honor roll all six weeks of the session and was recognized with Honorable Mentions for the Most Outstanding Effort in a Foreign Language Award as well as the Outstanding Intramural Player Award. He capped the summer by winning the Wolfeboro Award.
During the session, Gay completed the Red Cross course for lifeguards, climbed Mt. Jackson and Mt. Washington, and learned to sail.
“A valuable and unexpected extra of the experience was camping with a boy from Afghanistan,” said Gay. “Our summer reading took on special significance.”
Gay is the son of Paul and Dr. Hannah Gay of Ridgeland, Miss.
