00:15.022 --> 00:19.049
(camp counselors talking)

00:19.049 --> 00:21.010
(bright music)

00:21.010 --> 00:22.963
- It was during the Desert Storm era.

00:23.810 --> 00:26.756
The State Family Council
wanted to do something

00:26.756 --> 00:28.517
to give the kids of the
military people deployed

00:28.517 --> 00:30.770
something to do for that summer,

00:30.770 --> 00:32.640
and that's how we started this camp.

00:33.677 --> 00:36.260
(bright music)

00:46.980 --> 00:50.280
- Just to see what these kids are afforded

00:50.280 --> 00:53.620
during this week here,
it's just priceless.

00:53.620 --> 00:56.850
And looking at the hours that Gary Conley

00:56.850 --> 00:59.540
has put in not only this
year, but compounded

00:59.540 --> 01:03.580
over the 26 years, it's
really mind blowing.

01:03.580 --> 01:07.145
And I think it was a very
good tribute that Joe

01:07.145 --> 01:12.145
made the choice to rename
the kid's camp Camp Conley.

01:12.161 --> 01:14.744
(bright music)

01:43.770 --> 01:47.470
- It's a great honor that
it was named after me.

01:47.470 --> 01:51.850
'Cause it's just a
rewarding sight and feeling

01:51.850 --> 01:53.773
to see these kids do what they do.

01:54.737 --> 01:57.404
