"Back in 1981, when I was a 5th grader at Lyons Elementary, I had the unforgettable experience of staying at Camp Cooper. Our teacher, Mr. Joseph Selby, who dedicated 30 years to TUSD and sadly passed away in 2018, was an inspiring influence on me and my classmates. To this day, 43 years later, we still share stories about him and that magical time at camp.

For many of us, Camp Cooper was our only chance to experience a camp environment. Those two nights spent cooking meals together, gathering around the fire, and exploring the desert created lasting memories. I’m deeply grateful for my time at Camp Cooper and thrilled to see how much it has grown into an even stronger educational experience over the years. I hope it continues to inspire future generations!"
