CATS considering light rail to Ballantyne by Justin Vick justin@cmgweekly.com

CHARLOTTE – The Charlotte Area Transit System has started exploring community attitudes about rapid transit options for Pineville and Ballantyne. CATS planner Jason Lawrence briefly talked about rapid transit during a town hall meeting organized by City Councilman Ed Driggs on March 2 at The Ballantyne. Currently, CATS operates the LYNX Blue Line from UNC Charlotte to the I-485/ South Boulevard station. Some of the questions Lawrence and his

coworkers hope to answer in public meetings beginning next month include: What could an extension look like? Where should it stop in Pineville? How should it access Carolina Place Mall? How will that look going into Ballantyne? Driggs told the crowd at his town hall meeting that he's been advocating for an extension of the LYNX Blue Line. He even came up with a slogan, “Blue Line to Ballantyne.” “I feel it would be big advantage to our area to have that ability to take the train from Ballantyne all the way to uptown,” he said. “That see RAIL, Page 3A

CHARLOTTE – All parents want their children to be successful, but it's rare to have two children play in the NBA. This is what happened to Sonya Curry, mother of NBA stars Stephen Curry and Seth Curry. She spoke to Dr. Ophelia Garmon-Brown during CIAA Fan Fest about her life's journey, how she met her husband, her love for sports and education, and how she raised three successful children. “I was raised in a single

parent household,” Curry said. “And my mother was an example of women, strong women, in my life raising their families. Women like my aunts and my grandmother.” Curry said her grandmother would often sit the family down and reckon with any issues the family had to deal with, even matters that were within themselves. “I emulated that from her,” she said. “I always look at any issues I have

CHARLOTTE – South Charlotte conservative Matthew Ridenhour plans to run for the open 9th District Ridenhour seat in Congress. The State Board of Elections has

called for a new election for the seat, scheduling the primary election for May 14 and the general election for Sept. 10. Candidates are required to file their paperwork with the state between March 11 and 15. Dan McCready will likely be the Democratic nominee, but the Republican portion of the ballot is wide open since Mark Harris opt-

Ridenhour vs. McCready would be an intriguing matchup, considering both are young fathers with military experience. “In the Marines, we learn about selfless sacrifice, honesty and overcoming complex problems with perseverance to win,” Ridenhour said. “Yet, right now, America has many complex challenges that are being pushed to the backburner.” Ridenhour said he'll continue to fight for American liberties and freedoms in Congress. “With the Democrat Party’s take-

MATTHEWS – Mecklenburg County Tax Assessor Ken Joyner told residents the revaluation of property in the county doesn’t necessarily mean they are in for a large property tax increase come summer. The county recently completed its first revaluation since 2011 and property values – both residential and commercial – have increased by 54 percent on average. Residential values increased an average of 43 percent, but some residents saw their values increase by 100 percent or more. Joyner addressed more than two dozen residents at a listening session Feb. 28 at the Sportsplex at Matthews. The assessor’s office has conducted more than 150 other informational sessions across the county. Several residents questioned the new valuation. Others asked about a mailer they received, saying they are facing a huge tax increase and they should hire someone to appeal their new valuation. Joyner said the letter is misleading as new tax rates have not even been set yet. “Some people have received a see REVAL, Page 4A

He represented the south Charlotte area for three terms on the Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners from 2012 to 2018. Online: www.VoteRidenhour.com

Knights come together after tough week by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

CHARLOTTE – For Ardrey Kell basketball coach Mike Craft, this week was nothing like he could have ever imagined. First, when the Knights fourthround playoffs game against West Charlotte was moved to Vance due to concerns over seating capacity, some West Charlotte fans began to claim Ardrey Kell had rigged the move so they didn’t have to go to the west side of town. Other charges of race-related undertones began to emerge. The move proved to be prudent as Vance’s gym, which is said to seat 1,100, sold out by 6:30 p.m. Craft said when he and the team arrived at 4:30 p.m., lines were already stretched all around the gym. Then, Monday night, the day before the game, Ardrey Kell’s leading scorer Snapchatted a racist post that was captured and shared on social media. The player was suspended immediately and indefinitely, but Craft and his staff had to get his team ready to play. And to his credit, they did. Craft said his team had a morning meeting, but by the time he saw them again, they were all business. “We have had a lot support. It’s been overwhelming,” he said. “Once they got to the gym they said, ‘Let’s go get ‘em.’ They were focused. We talked about how we have earned the right to be here. “I was really, really proud of my team. They stay focused around all of the adversity and controversy and they really competed.” Senior forward Christian Pickens scored 22 points through the first three quarters, helping the Knights more than hold their own, although

they wore down in the fourth quarter and lost, 69-53. Through three quarters, and with all of the emotion of the game and their week and without their leading scorer, the Knights strengthend. In the end, the 21-7 West Charlotte fourth quarter was the difference. “I hate people will read the paper, see the score and think that they killed us,” Craft said. “They really didn’t. We gave them all they can handle and more.” Craft applauded Knoah Carver, who started and had eight points and Stephen Sherrill, who scored nine, but in the end, Florida State commit Patrick Williams took over. “We were really good on defense,” Craft said. “We battled, we competed, we got 50-50 balls but the only problem we had was that we got worn down. The other big factor was Williams. He’s the best player we’ve played against and he decided he wasn’t losing. He was good inside, outside, he made threes, he drove to the basket, he posted up, he made free throws, he made jumpers, he just did it all and I think that wore us down a little bit. “But what a great high school atmosphere. The fans were great, although most of them were West Charlotte fans. They just cheered. Nothing was said, they were really

good fans. Once the ball went up in the air, it was just a high school basketball game.” The controversy that surrounded the game didn’t lead to any issues, except for the impact of the suspended player and his family, who released a statement to the media prior to the game that took responsibility and expressed remorse. Craft said it’s a “day-to-day” situation, but now, hopefully, they can move on. It’s a shame it happened on many levels, but for the 1,100-plus fans in attendance because the game, which was great for three quarters, maybe could have been great for longer like the Knights thrilling overtime win over Independence three days earlier on Royce Jarrett’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer. “I hope that’s a reflection on our program,” Craft said. “ We were able to focus, compete and give them all they could handle, but we’ve been doing that all year. “To win the conference tournament against Olympic, who was a great team, and to win the sectionals and beat Independence, who is a great team, on their home floor it’s just a shame. We were playing our best basketball, it’s just unfortunate we couldn’t move forward with our whole team.”

CURRY (continued from page 1A)

with myself before I look at anyone else.” Throughout the Fan Fest interview, Curry mentioned two details repeatedly, her passion for education and her strong faith in Christianity. Her love and her passion combined in 1995, when she founded the Christian Montessori School of Lake Norman. “I always knew I wanted to be an educator,” she said. “The passion of educating began when I was about 13 when I got the opportunity to teach a mentally handicapped 19-year-old young man how to read. So we would sit on my front steps during the week, and I would teach him his letters. And that feeling that I had to know that, one, I had the patience, and two, his life is so much better now that he can read.” All of her children are athletes. Her family went to church twice a week and had to juggle schooling. Because of their schedules, the family had weekly mandatory family meetings to see what everyone was doing. Curry believes this caused her children to have excellent time management skills that transitioned into adulthood. Curry said one of the reasons her family had such order was because she was a young mother who had the right amount of energy. However, Curry said the most significant factor was her faith in God. These factors provided the structure she needed to keep her family in order, while her husband, NBA player Dell Curry, was on the road.

“We all have challenges,” she said. “You [Garmon-Brown] are saying we're amazing people and such an amazing family, but it's the spirit of God in us. The joy I have comes from the Lord.” Looking back, Curry wonders if she did the absolute best raising Seth, Stephen and Sydel. “I feel like spent too much time running around with them, raising them, taking them to do this and that and not enough time just sitting with them without having anything going on,” she said. However, she admits that each of her children is kind, humble and family-oriented. Despite being successful NBA players, Curry said she didn't want her sons to play basketball professionally. “We would watch other players’ children come in with big diamond watches on – they're 10 and 12 and coaches would say to them, 'You're going to play in the NBA,'” Curry said. “If anyone ever said that to my children when I was around, I would lit into them. I would say, 'Nope, you don't know that. You're not God. You don't know what they're going to do.'” But the moment both her sons decided they were going into the NBA, they had her full support. She does, however, pray that none of her children will participate in the VH1 TV show, “Basketball Wives,” because none of the people who do so come out unscathed. “The closest we'll ever come to that is that Ayesha, Seth's fiance Callie and myself will be on 'Red Table Talk' with Jada and Willow,” she said. nas to discuss transportation and infrastructure issues in the region.

mailer, I will leave the company unknown, talking about your taxes are going to go up and giving you an exact dollar amount,” Joyner said. “That information is using your new value with the old tax rate to scare people. We have actually sent something to the attorney general’s office but we don’t know if they will do anything about it. We have got hundreds of calls from people complaining about the letter.” One resident at the meeting said she “nearly had a heart attack” when she opened the letter. “And of course, they said they could help you, and for a fee of course,” the resident said. “At 80, these kinds of things can upset you.” “You don’t have to be 80 to be scared, be-

lieve me,” Joyner said. While values have increased, that doesn’t mean residents are facing hefty tax increases. Mecklenburg County and the six municipalities in the county could set a revenue-neutral rate that would raise the same amount of revenue or they could set a rate to raise more revenue. If revenue-neutral rates are set, with normal growth also considered, many residents could see a minimal tax increase. Tax rates are set during budget talks by the county and local cities and towns in the county. That process is usually finished by mid-June. “Our tax rate will change this year,” Joyner said. “They (each jurisdiction) will be required to advertise for you what a revenue neutral rate would be, meaning that each jurisdiction based on their normal growth over the last few years, what their tax rate would be at that same level. They are not required to adopt that, but it gives you information

to know if there is an overall increase. With the reval, most likely, everyone’s tax rate will likely change because we are redistributing the overall value.” Joyner told the residents that if they had concerns with their new valuation, they should request an informal review now from the assessor’s office. Joyner even encouraged several residents to start that process after hearing their concerns. Commercial valuations have increased 77 percent from the last revaluation and former chairman of the Equalization and Review Board Jim Barnett feels some of that sticker shock, both residential and commercial, is due to the fact that some properties were artificially lowered after one review of the 2011 revaluation. After the county’s original 2011 revaluation was met with dissatisfaction from some county residents, two independent reviews were conducted. One review at a cost

of around $7 million by Pearson Appraisal and Associates reduced valuations on certain properties and forced the county to payout millions of dollars in refunds to taxpayers whose properties Pearson said were overvalued. A third review by appraisal consultant Josh Myers basically said the county’s original revaluation was on target. “Your values in areas that were not touched by Pearson, those values jumped about 25 percent between 2011 and 2018,” Barnett said. “The values that were touched jumped 40 to 60 percent. This is my opinion, the reason they got that 60, 70, 80 percent, or whatever, increase is they had to catch up to the first one. If you looked at the commercial that dropped, they had to catch up with that first number, and I think they artificially reduced them in the first place” The deadline to file a formal appeal for review by the Board of Equalization and Review is May 20.

Arboretum Chick-fil-A reopens CHARLOTTE – Nearly six months after it was torn down, the newly rebuilt and expanded Arboretum Chick-fil-A restaurant at 3117 Pineville-Matthews Road reopened March 7 with the chain’s newest design. The new restaurant will feature a full-size dining room along with a two-lane drive-thru and canopies, which will enhance customer experiences and improve efficiency. The rebuild of the Arboretum Chick-fil-A comes 27 years after it first opened in December 1991. Operator Justin Riddle is looking forward to reopening his business and welcoming back customers who will find an updated drive-thru process and parking lot along with a specific counter for Chickfil-A app users. “For the past two years at Arboretum I have served side by side with some incredible team members who have become like family,” said Riddle. “They are truly the reason we have been successful in a location we’ve simply outgrown. We feel so honored to be the caretakers of such a gorgeous, new restaurant and look forward to our guests once again visiting

Some of the highlights of the 5,000-square-foot restaurant include: · Dining room that seats 78 with a vintage-inspired interior, a two-story, indoor

play area and outdoor seating for 38. · Designated pickup counter and four curbside parking spots for Chickfil-A app customers. · Full-service menu with a variety of healthy and dietary options, including breakfast until 10:30 a.m. · Two-lane drive-thru merging into a single pickup point that can handle upwards of 200 cars an hour.

CHARLOTTE – The best private-school senior basketball players from the East and the West converged March 2 on Providence Day to lace up the sneakers and play together one final time. Both games began quickly before blowouts ensued. The East girls started on a 9-1 run and never trailed throughout, although the West would get it as close as six points and within double digits late. The East won 83-61. Metrolina Christian’s Stephen Clark had a pair of blocks on defense to open the boys game, but defense was not en vogue throughout as the East ended up running, dunking and 3-point shooting its way to a 137-115 blowout. But in the end, it never mattered what the score was or that the East swept the showcase. “It’s a great way to finish out our career, and it was a lot of fun to play with some of the best players in the state,” said Charlotte Latin star Ruthie Jones, who is also a Duke commit and all-state soccer player. Trinity Christian’s Gloria Smith led the West with 17 points. Jones added nine points, seven rebounds and four assists while Covenant Day’s Madeline Crumpler scored eight points. One of the best parts for Jones was teaming up Charlotte Latin teammate and Washington and Lee commit Kathryn Vandiver one last time. Vandiver was the only other West player in double figures as she scored 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds. “It was great to play with (Jones) one last time since we grew up playing together,” Vandiver said. “It was also really fun to play with so many new people and that was a learning curve, but to get back out there one last time was a lot of fun.”

Of note, the East was led by Neuse Christian’s Izabel Varajao, who dominated at times and scored 17 points. Varajao is a Michigan commit and the niece of former NBA player Anderson Varajao. The boys game had many of the same friendly competition, and featured Carmel Christian’s starting five of Marten Maide, DeAngelo Epps, Donovan Gregory, Jake Boggs and Myles Pierre. Charlotte Christian’s Paul Hudson, JC Tharrington and Seth Bennett played alongside Clark and Country Day’s Alex Tabor and Rylan McLaurin (who played for the East). It was a star-studded roster on both sides with 15 players currently signed to college rosters, but the running-and-gunning East took a 22-20 lead and never looked back. Ravenscroft’s Jake Vanderheijden, a Bucknell commit, led the East with 23 points; Trinity Christian’s DJ Horne, an Illinois State commit, scored 21; and unsigned Fayetteville Academy big man Emmanuel Izunabor added 20 to lead the East. Pierre scored 21 to lead the West, but Epps (19), Gregory (16) and Tharrington (15 points, eight assists) all were in double figures. Although the score got away from them, it was still fun for all. “I have known (Epps) and Donovan pretty much my whole AAU career, so it was fun to play with them and just get out here and have a good time,” Tharrington said. The West’s other scorers included Boggs (nine), Maide (five), Hudson (four), Bennett (three) and Tabor (three). The games featured more than 20 college recruits, a list likely to grow now that high school season has ended. As Epps, a College of Charleston signee, and future Appalachian State teammates Gregory and Tharrington huddled around one last time, it was apparent to Gregory this was a fitting end. “It’s just crazy to see how far each of us have come.” he said.

With 150+ camps, Country Day helps keep summer fresh Camps taught by faculty, cover sports, arts & science by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

CHARLOTTE – Charlotte Country Day offers more than 150 unique summer camps running from June 3 to Aug. 9 and ranging the gamut of subjects, including sports, arts, drama, cooking, video game development, robotics and science. Many of the camps are instructed by Country Day’s most esteemed faculty members and include full-day and half-day camps with morning or afternoon options. “There is a club for mid-

dle-schoolers mostly, the Trailblazers and Adventure camps,” said Beverley Johnson, director of coordinate programs. “They just experience Charlotte in different ways. Those are two of the really great ones.” The Camp Summer Fest is another popular option, but Johnson said the school has added to some areas and improved others to make the offerings suited for any taste. “We have a lot more web programs, and we’re very excited about that. In the past, we’ve offered just a few, but this summer, we have offerings every single week during the

Muggsy Bogues reflects on special relationship with Queen City by Andrew Stark

CHARLOTTE – Former Charlotte Hornets great Muggsy Bogues is a special ambassador to the team, and played a huge role in the NBA All-Star Game. Bogues, who is 16th in NBA history in assists, is also holding his popular summer Bogues camps with the Town of Matthews. Sports Editor Andrew Stark recently caught up with Bogues to see what he’s been up to and share some nostalgia. Andrew Stark: Since retiring, you have done a number of things including coaching in the WNBA, at United Faith and currently serving as an ambassador for the Hornets. Aside from your role with the Hornets and your popular youth camps, how are you remaining involved in the game? Muggsy Bogues: I also actu-

ally serve as the ambassador for the NBA, where the game has become global in addition to my role with the Hornets.

Gone are the days of kids sitting on the couch, watching TV and aimlessly shuffling around the house until school starts again. The Town of Matthews is offering students in elementary and middle school the opportunity to combat the dog days of summer with camps that focus on sports, arts, cooking, math and science. While there are many to choose from, here are five summer camps that stand out:

AS: This is the 30th anniversary season. How fun has this been to see so many former teammates and have them celebrated? MB: It has been awesome seeing so many of my old teammates and friends. I am so grateful that the Hornets organization presented an opportunity for all of us to come together again. All-Star Weekend was a busy time, but it was a great experience hosting in my city. AS: Basketball has opened a lot of doors for you and given you a platform to inspire a whole new generation with your camps in Matthews. How important is it to you to give back to the kids and continue to be a big role model for so many people? MB: I am just following God’s plan by Him using me as a vessel to continue inspir-

six weeks of the summertime,” she said. “We are also offering more sports programs. We’ve always had the basic ones with football, basketball, baseball or whatever they were interested in, but now we’ve added a few more of those and we’ve also added a combination camp with football and baseball together for those interested in two separate sports.” Prices and times depend on which option is chosen, but there is a taste of everything sprinkled into the school’s extensive list of offerings.

Here are a few that caught my eye: • Camp Summer Fest – The flagship camp that combines art, slime, crafts, science and so much more. In addition, there is a day for water fun, safari adventure, carnival days and even the crazy popular Wacky Wednesday. • Princesses and Superheroes – Save the world from evil-doers in this high-energy and interactive camp. Training combines cooperative games, team-building activities, literature, educational enrichment activities and craft projects. • Science Boot Camp – Designed for incoming ninth- and 10th-graders to get a leg up on upper school science, activities are focused on practical lab skills, the scientific method, how to analyze results and how to write lab reports. All materials are provided. • Middle School Sports Camp – This provides campers with the opportunity to participate in numerous sports, including basketball, flag football, baseball, soccer and track in a positive and fun environment.

• Camp Buccaneer – If fishing, sports, arts and crafts, a talent show and a trip to the water park sound fun, this is probably for you. Campers will also have theme days and special events that will make long-lasting summer memories while improving self esteem, self confidence and resilience. • Camp Trailblazer – Hiking, biking, rafting and kayaking are camp traditions, but other outdoor adventures, such as ropes courses, rock climbing, and zip-lining will be explored. The camp require moderate exertion and a sufficient level of physical fitness. • Thinking Feet: Website design – Campers build games, animations and applications using MIT’s Scratch platform and see creations come to life immediately in front of their eyes. Challenges are abound to keep both beginner and advanced programmers engaged and learning. Johnson said no matter which option is right for a particular family, all of the camps have a common theme. “We are looking for kids to enjoy the summer and learn a lot in what they participate in, make friends and remember the great experiences they have when they attend our programs,” she said.

had a shot to play basketball on a collegiate level? What was it about Wake Forest that swayed you? MB: I realized when I was in high school that I had the skill set to play in college. I chose Wake Forest because it was one of the toughest conferences and since it was the ACC, my mother would be able to watch my games from my hometown Baltimore.

AS: Is there a single game or particular series of events that stand out to you about your college career? Or, what will you always remember about those years? MB: One game, in particular, stands out. It was the Wake Forest vs. N.C. State in 1985, sophomore year. It was a (nationally) televised game, and my opponent was Spud Webb. During that game, Al McGuire made a comment, ‘How a kid that’s 5’3 is dominating a game like he’s Patrick Ewing and Ralph Sampson – this game alone should put him in the Hall of Fame.’

being a big factor in the East. If the team that included, among others, yourself, Kendall Gill, Larry Johnson, Dell Curry, Johnny Newman and Alonzo Mourning had stayed together, what was the ceiling for you guys and why? MB: You can always say what if but that was a good nucleus at the time. We had great chemistry and were on the rise. AS: If not the most famous shot in team history, the Alonzo Mourning jumper to beat the Celtics has to rank at or near the top. In looking at the video, Tony Bennett was actually in, but you stood right next to coach Bristow and jumped higher than anyone on the court when it went in What was that moment like for you, and is that the biggest shot you were a part of as a Hornet? MB: Coach had Tony in for the shot and as a teammate you’re supportive. That was one of the biggest shots being a part of my Hornets career, and you can see my excitement when the shot is in. It was a memorable moment.

AS: So, you make the league and are playing with the Bullets when you get selected in the NBA Expansion Draft by the Hornets. What were your initial reactions of returning to ACC country, but also so as a brand new franchise? At first, was that viewed as a good or bad thing and why? MB: Initially, I was upset because I felt that the Bullets franchise gave up on me too early. But then I immediately got excited to go to Carolina because this was a place that was familiar with my style of play. AS: I’m sure you’ve been asked this 1,000 times, but what was that like being in Charlotte and “Alive at the Hive” in the beginning of the franchise? And, is there a moment you can remember that exemplifies what it was like to be a player during that time? Especially as rock stars in an ever-growing city and NBA franchise that adored their team win, or more often, lose. MB: You knew it was a special place from the very first game. Losing by 40 points but at the same time getting a standing ovation after the game. But after our fifth year seeing the fruit of our labor by advancing to the first round of playoffs in 91-92 which allowed the players and the franchise and city have something to celebrate. A spectacular moment.

AS: Like many former players who have played in Charlotte, you decided to make your home here. What was it about this area that you have fallen in love with? MB: For one, it was the [hospitality people] have shown to me and my family [since the] first game. During my playing days in Charlotte, visiting other cities gave me more passion for the Queen City.

A YouTuber’s guide to summer camp

5 TO TRY (continued from page 1B)

by Karie Simmons karie@cmgweekly.com

In today’s world, we can get information from pretty much anywhere. YouTube is one of my favorite sources because I’m a visual learner, especially when it comes to hanging curtains, applying makeup, changing a flat tire and other “life hacks.” There’s a YouTube video for everything these days, so I figured there would probably be a few videos with helpful tips and tricks for summer camps. Here are the five best videos I found:

HeyItsAnna tells it like it is. Her honest take gives viewers insider info from a veteran camper’s perspective.

na delves into the many tips and tricks she’s learned from six years at sleep-away camp. Skip to 2:05 to get to the meat of the video, where Anna gives tips like don’t go to camp with a friend from home, don’t bring expensive clothes and it’s better to over pack than under pack. She also recommends putting clothes in ziploc bags and then pressing the air out to save space in your suitcase. • Release date: 2016 • Length: 10:03 • Link: https://youtu.be/C4TkdBicSuY

Nervous about camp? Julie Sams has great tips for parents with kids who are worried about their upcoming summer.

1. Summer Camp – Practical Tips to Conquer Anxiety! As summer creeps closer, many kids will start planning and preparing for summer camp. Whether it’s their first time away from home or their first time at a new camp, they could also be getting worried and anxious about attending. In this video, licensed professional counselor Julie Sams gives parents a few pointers to help kids ease their fears and transition into having a fun summer, like showing them pictures of the camp and reminding them everyone will be trying to make new friends. Sams is the owner of Bowman Family Services, which oversees a team of counselors in Raleigh, Wake Forest, and Rolesville, N.C.

This reporter says even the most prepared parents don’t know everything when it comes to summer camps.

2. Five Things Summer Camps Won’t Tell You You may think you know what your kids need to bring, what they’ll be doing and what they’ll be eating at summer camp, but you could be wrong. In this video posted by the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch reporter Jen Wieczner shares five things summer camps won’t tell you. For starters, getting in can be really competitive and bug spray is practically useless against bed bugs. She also says peanut butter and cellphones are a no-no at most camps these days. • Release date: 2013 • Length: 3:23 • Link: https://youtu.be/hQzD0bqyzq8 3.

This YouTuber is pretty crafty. She suggests hanging a mirror from a scarf hook in your bunk so you can get ready in the morning.

4. Summer/Sleepaway Camp Hacks+Tips! YouTuber Maddie Elaine is an expert when it comes to preparing for an overnight camp. Some of her videos about what she buys and packs each summer have up to 100,000 views, so you know she’s a good source. In this video, she shares some unique tips, like using a scarf hanger to fit multiple hangers for drying wet towels and bathing suits. She also suggests bringing a small towel to use as a bathmat when you get out of the shower, and says not to worry about bringing makeup because you won’t have time to put it on. • Release date: 2017 • Length: 10:29 • Link: https://youtu.be/U2dHb5U0r6E

The girls at Camp Ton-A-Wandah are really sweet. They’re even letting viewers in on some secrets to bunk organization.

5. Bunk Organization Hacks with Glamping 101! It’s easy to remember to pack a toothbrush and bathing suit before heading to camp for the summer, but most people don’t think about bringing items to keep their cabin neat. In this video, girls from Camp TonA-Wandah in Hendersonville, N.C., give viewers some bunk organization hacks every camper should know. They suggest bringing a shoe bin, damage-free hooks, plastic drawers for clothes, a clip-on fan, lap desk and throw rug to jazz up your area. • Release date: 2017 • Length: 3:29 • Link: https://youtu.be/q8Bt3ENEPYY
