William says that Billy Sue loves Camp ASCCA because of the interaction between the campers and counselors, and because of the friends she makes.  He was certainly right about the making friends part–Billy Sue always had a smile on her face and was being silly with the other campers!Besides just having fun, William says that Billy Sue learns alot while she is at camp.  Getting to help other campers teaches her self-confidence and independence, and he believes attending Camp ASCCA has even improved her speech!
