  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
100th anniversary of Camp Cosby. YMCA Camp Cosby has offered youth safe 
and exciting adventures since 1922.
  It began when the YMCA purchased 200 acres of land just north of 
Trussville in Birmingham, AL, with a house and a 26-acre lake, 
establishing YMCA Camp Cosby in 1922. Later, another 400 acres were 
donated by the Hodges Milling Company.
  In 1972, YMCA Camp Cosby was relocated to its current location on 
Lake Logan Martin in Alpine, AL, with over a mile of waterfront, 
rolling hills and space for camp activities.
  Camp Cosby was named after W.M. Cosby, the President of the 
Birmingham YMCA at the time. YMCA Camp Cosby serves over 2,000 campers 
each summer for sleepaway camp and over 3,000 additional participants 
during year-round youth, teen, and adult programming.

  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the 100th anniversary of 
Camp Cosby.
