 Arthur Huey came as a counselor-trainee to Camp Leelanau (Glen Arbor Township) in 1930, at seventeen years of age. He never dreamed that his lifelong career would be centered on the Camp, the Homestead resort, and the Leelanau Schools. Innovative teaching methods that included a work program as well as concentration on academics were successful under Mr. Huey's direction. He recalls the early days of the Leelanau Schools:
All the teachers were involved with the student activities. You had to really love education to be on the staff of the Leelanau School in those days. You worked there full time. You had a day off--but you had your satisfaction and pleasure out of participating with the students. It was a wonderful setup and the students formed great friendships with the teachers.
