If you're a mom, chances are you don't get much time toput your feet up and relax. "I felt there was a need for womento get away from the stress and strain from either motherhood orwork," says Myra Peck, of her reasons for founding Camp Mom in1996.

That's what Cindy Rota needed--a weekend away--back in 1998,when she first attended Camp Mom. She had so much fun, she boughtthe company when Peck decided to sell in 2000. For Rota, a37-year-old stay-at-home mother of three boys, the decision to buythe camp was easy. "The enjoyment of sitting back and watchingthese women let their hair down and have girl-to-girl time is whatmade me go from being a spectator to the owner," she says.
